So your ready to hire your first employee! Congratulations. This is a huge milestone in your business. I’m so excited for you!

I’ve noticed a need among solopreneurs for HR advice. There’s a ton of advice & best practices out there for human resources, but not much of it is for solopreneurs.

Before you take on this challenge, make sure you know what you’re getting into. Having employees is as fraught with legalese, pitfalls, and questions as starting your business.

I’ve noticed a need among solopreneurs for HR advice. There’s a ton of advice & best practices out there for human resources, but not much of it is for solopreneurs. Most of what you find is for companies big enough to have HR departments. A lot of people ask me questions, I collected the most common ones in the Down and Dirty Guide.
This is what you get in the guide:

Help choosing the right person for the job without running afoul of the law
Advice on how to pay your new hire
What to do on the first day to get off on the right foot
How to terminate your employee when it’s no longer a good fit
This guide will help you if:

You’ve never hired anyone and you need some direction
You are a solopreneur
Human Resources scares or overwhelms you
You need someone to walk you through the hiring process
This isn’t the best resource for you if:

You are hiring large numbers of staff
You are hiring in multiple states
You are in a heavily regulated industry (the medical field for example)
You are outside the US
