Picture this: your company is finally off-the-ground and you’re ready to start looking for your very first employee. You go to start the hiring process, but quickly find yourself with a lot of questions – where do you find new hires? How do you write a decent contract? What holiday benefits should they get? What happens if they’re not a good fit? If you don’t already have a dedicated HR team, it can be hard to know as a business owner whether you’re staying on the right side of the law. And who can blame you? There are so many other plates you have to juggle; there are never enough hours in the day, you’re basically a one-(wo)man band, and resources are pretty scarce (if not non-existent). Because you’re just starting out, you may think you don’t need to worry about the challenges of staying legal, but employment law actually applies to everyone regardless of size, industry, and years in the game. We know you’re eager to get your startup off the ground and grow a talented team, but postponing getting the HR basics right will just open you up to worse legal problems in the future.
