Outdated policies and inadequate documentation can cause even the most organized small business owner to stumble when it comes to human resources issues. When was the last time you updated your employee handbook? Are you sure it covers everything it should, or does it cover too much? Mistakes with hiring, firing, employee paperwork, and workplace policies open your business to wage and hour claims. This webinar will address five common HR mistakes employers and small business owners make every day and how to avoid problems and minimize risk:

  • Not properly verifying employees’ eligibility to work in the U.S. (I-9)
  • Lack of standardized policies and procedures without overcomplication
  • Payroll errors and independent contractor misclassification
  • Practicing or allowing accidental discrimination or harassment to occur
  • Inadequate performance management
