​Hiring your first employee is exciting… and risky if the basics aren’t set up. Common “ first hire” mistakes we help you avoid:

​

• Misclassifying employees vs. contractors

• Missing required U.S./ California policies/notices

• No consistent offer letter and onboarding process

• No documentation system (performance, discipline, terminations)

• Confusion around leave, accommodations, sick time, workers’ comp, and final pay
