Getting ready for the HR challenges to come

Now that your business has the finances it needs, you’ll need to think about the associated HR to ensure it leads to your success. The first of which is hiring or re-hiring staff.

Hiring can take up a lot of time. And the most critical part of this process is writing your contracts. Getting any part of this wrong can have serious repercussions for your business!'

Improperly drafted contracts invite greater risk and liability for your business. It can be the difference between having to pay a couple of weeks of termination pay or a couple of months. This doesn’t even account for legal fees.

This is just one part of HR you must keep in mind. Workplace policies, documentation, and health & safety are all just as important.

Having the right advice when it comes to any of these issues is critical for everything from compliance to avoiding time spent in court. This is where EmployerLine can help.
