About the event

Understandably, as a small business owner, you are singularly focused on increasing sales and servicing customers. But with growth often comes the need to hire – and along with that, the burden of complying with complex federal, state and even local employment laws. 

It’s a burden that can be tempting to ignore, until your business is faced with a government investigation or an employee lawsuit. And then it’s too late.

This workshop addresses five potentially crippling HR mistakes small-business employers make every day: 

  • Treating independent contractors as if they are employees 
  • Not properly verifying employees’ eligibility to work in the U.S. (I-9) 
  • Not paying employees correctly 
  • Practicing or allowing ‘accidental’ discrimination or harassment  
  • Not displaying mandatory employee postings 

We’ll explain the related regulations in simple terms and provide practical tips to help you comply.
