Compliance Check-Up Day
Wednesday, September 9, 2026
A yearly moment to run a 15-minute compliance check-up — confirm your postings are current, your deadlines are calendared, and nothing important is quietly overdue. Founded by CompliCalendar.
“We created Compliance Check-Up Day because most compliance problems aren't dramatic — they're the posting that expired, the filing that slipped, the policy nobody revisited. One day a year to check beats one audit you didn't see coming.”
Background
Compliance Check-Up Day is a free, open observance founded by CompliCalendar in 2026 and held every year on September 9. It's deliberately mid-cycle — long enough after January's filings to catch what's drifted, early enough before year-end to fix it. Anyone can take part; there's nothing to buy.
How to celebrate at work
- Block 15 minutes on September 9 for a quick team compliance check-up.
- Walk the required workplace postings (OSHA 300A in season, FMLA, EEO, state notices) and confirm they're current.
- Open your calendar and make sure every upcoming filing deadline is actually on it.
- Pick one policy you haven't reviewed in a year and give it a fresh read.
- Share the day with a peer — invite another team to do their check-up too.
