After Business Planning

Human Resource policies may not seem to impact the financial health of your small business, but without them, you open yourself up to liabilities that could cost you.  As President Obama fills more and more of his positions, the enforcement agencies like the EEOC will be increasing their investigations.  So, it’s really important that small businesses take necessary steps to stay legal.  Not that you should start worrying about employees filing complaints or worse, lawsuits.  But, you know what they say about the ounce of prevention.  Now is the time to look at your employee handbooks and make sure that your company has appropriate policies in place, and that those policies are being enforced.  And it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money to produce your first handbook or update your existing one.  There are professionals other than attorneys who can help you who don’t cost as much.  Check out our HR audit available at www.afterbusinessplanning.com.
