When
it comes to growing a business most entrepreneurs aren't afraid
to take the financial risk. And, they aren't usually concerned
about being able to produce top quality products or services for
their customers. What does make them break out in a cold sweat
is having to hire employees and deal with all the laws and
administrative burdens that go along with them.
It
also doesn’t mater whether you have 1 or 100 employees. Many
of the rules are the same and as an employer you can have just
as many challenges with just one employee as you have with many.
The
cause of fear for most employers big and small alike is dealing
with the unknown. Or even worse, trying to find out what the
rules and regulations are from the likes of the IRS, the EEOC,
OSHA and other government agencies. This is especially difficult
for businesses that are new to having employees. Again, not the
fact of dealing with the regulations but finding out just what
regulations and government bodies a business has to adhere to.
For
any employer, having easy access to much of this information
could be as close as purchasing The
Employer's Legal Handbook published by Nolo
Press. In its over 400 pages this book will enlighten you on
most aspects of dealing with the legal challenges as an
employer.
As
is their trademark, Nolo Press has put together a book that
takes a sensible real life approach to dealing with employees,
and all in easy to understand language. The
Employer's Legal Handbook takes you from the
initial hiring process - and asking or saying the right things -
to firing an employee without getting your pants sued off.
This
book is chock full of topics that employers face every day and
need to know. Topics like the right way to advertise for
applicants, investigating employee backgrounds, maintaining
proper employee records and files, performance reviews, payroll,
employee benefits, taxes, and of course the numerous government
agencies that are involved like OSHA, EEOC, ADA and
understanding what the rules are and even if you have to comply.
If
you have one or more employees and don't have a comprehensive
guide to the legal issues of dealing with employees The
Employer's Legal Handbook needs to be on your
list to purchase. With employee litigation and government
regulations becoming one of the most common causes of legal
problems for small business a little knowledge might save you a
whole lot of money. And this book is full of good street-savvy
knowledge every employer needs to know.
