HR Foundations for Small Businesses
Most small business owners learn HR the hard way, one mistake at a time. They hire on a handshake, misclassify a role, skip the paperwork, and find out what the rule was only after something has already gone wrong. You don't need an HR degree to run a compliant workplace. You need the foundations, in plain language.This training gives you those foundations.What it covers Hiring and onboarding the right way, from the offer to the first day, with the paperwork that has to exist. The two classification calls that cause the most expensive mistakes: employee versus contractor, and exempt versus non-exempt. The records you're required to keep, and the ones that protect you when a decision gets questioned. Wage and hour basics: overtime, breaks, and paying people correctly. Handling problems, discipline, and letting someone go without creating a claim. The short list of policies every business should have in writing. What's inside Three documents, built to be delivered, not just read: Facilitator Guide: the full session script. Agenda, slide-by-slide talking points, timing, activity instructions, and the pushback you'll get with the answers that settle it. Participant Guide: the training in the learner's hands.
