Employment Compliance

Overview

Hiring is a legal minefield. Misclassify an employee as a contractor and you owe back taxes, penalties, and benefits — plus the state of California wants to have a word. Forget the IP assignment and a departing employee takes your code with them. Terminate someone without documentation and you're paying COBRA for 18 months plus a settlement. The mistake: thinking "we're too small for HR." You need compliance from employee #1. This skill covers everything from classification to termination.
