How does company size affect compliance?

I have been asked to prepare a "chart" showing how the number of employees affects compliance with federal laws. For example, COBRA at 20 ees, FMLA @ 50 ees. I know that at 100, the EEO-1 annual report is required. Is there anything else at that point? This is for a training seminar for business owners who are looking at acquisitions/mergers in their industry. Some of these companies could grow from 10 employees to 50 or more in a short time. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
