You didn't start a business to run an HR department.
But here you are. Owner, payroll, scheduler, and the one who fixes the printer. The Guide takes one of those jobs off your plate, and it's the one most likely to get you sued.
A note from the lawyer behind The Guide
Most of the employers I sue aren't bad people.
They're people like you. Busy, stretched thin, and wearing every hat in the building. They didn't ignore the law. Nobody ever told them the rule, and by the time I'm involved, it's too late to fix.
So I wrote down everything I look for and turned it into simple steps, in plain English, with the forms ready to sign.
If The Guide does its job, you'll never hear from a lawyer like me.
