Things change the relationship at times. So I would still harp on having a set of guidelines.""When you get to about 20 to 30 employees, you probably should think about having a full time HR.""We want to treat them well, but we need to be very careful about every little thing. This really needs to be airtight to make sure they don't have cause later to say, "I should be an employee as opposed to a contractor.""Internet and email and social media use. That's a hot topic these days!""It [HR] may cost just a little upfront, but it's certainly better than paying the fines, and the lawsuit money, and settlements that can come out of not having it."Need Help Producing High-Quality Podcast Content Without The Headache?

If you’re like most contractors we know, then you started your business because you’re passionate about and great at your craft. You also wanted to be your own boss. Owning a business has a lot of advantages, but also a lot of challenges.
We started this podcast to talk about things that matter to you as an owner, like business fundamentals, sales processes, marketing, leadership, and much more. Armed with knowledge, you’ll be able to reach your goals, whether that’s growth, getting your shop to run without you, or anything in between.
