Hiring More Help Some pointers and reminders about hiring help in a growing business. Systems First! Before you hire someone else to work in your business, you should have a process down for training them to do what it is you want them to do. Systems can help with that, because when you develop a system, you carefully look at the exact steps to creating the same result each time. Write those steps down, and put notes in about anything critical for each step. This is a system. It helps you to be able to train someone else to successfully do the things you do. Screening Potential Employees Interviewing and assessing qualifications is tough. Do not hire a friend just because they need a job, it rarely works. You need to hire someone who is qualified, and maintain a relationship that allows you to correct them as needed. This means that you need to screen and hire based on your ability to maintain authority with the person you hire, as well as considering their qualifications. Verify qualifications and references as well as you are able, you may regret it if you don't. Check with your State Most states have regulations about workplace safety, employee notifications and training, and a range of other requirements. Check with your state government and get the details before you hire, so you can make sure you are in compliance with any regulations. Check with the Feds The Federal government also has a truckload of regulations regarding employment and workplace safety. Make sure you understand what the requirements are for your specific business prior to hiring, or you may end up in the kind of trouble that can kill your business. See what the IRS needs Employers are required to file certain tax documents and to pay withholding taxes for employees. Get the scoop from the IRS or your tax advisor before proceeding, because hiring employees changes many aspects of bookkeeping. Contract Employees Many spot jobs and off site jobs can be contracted. Get the rules before you do though. It sounds like an easy solution to avoid all those hassles I just listed, but it has an equal set of hassles of its own, including choosing a qualified firm or individual, and making sure that the job actually qualifies as a contract job. Check with the IRS website and learn what the criteria is for a contract job before you decide that something should be done that way. Underage Employees Most states have child labor laws, which can affect citizens up to the age of 21. These laws can range from inability to serve alcohol, or limits for work environment and types of work, to restrictions on the hours that a high school student can work each week. Again, check with your state and see what the restrictions are for various ages. These laws apply in varying degrees to family members, but often the rules are a little different when you hire your own kids.
