HIRING 1ST EMPLOYEE

 

You only hire an employee for two reasons:

• The employee can save you money.
• The employee can reduce your expenses.

Before you hire your first employee make sure that you take the time to put things in place.

• Does your business have an Employer Identification number? (EIN)
• Do you have Worker’s Compensation Insurance?
• Post required Notices
• • Job Safety and Health Protection
  • Equal Employment Opportunity (Only if involved in Federal Contacting)
  • Fair labor Standards Act
• Employee Eligibility Verification
• Setup record keeping
• Have you determined the first position that needs to be hired?
• Do you have a list of duties and assignments that needs to be fulfilled?
• Have you started to develop your employee handbook?
• Have you developed a Job Description for the position?
