When is the last time you’ve had a ramp check? Have you ever had one? No matter how many times you’ve been ramped, each one can be different and often stressful. If you prepare for the ramp check now, then odds are when it happens for real you will be ready. Just like an audit from the IRS, the key is preparation. A good attitude can only make things better. What is a ramp check? Why do they happen? What happens if I’m found to be out of compliance?
