The Manual’s Topics

  • The manual walks you through the hiring process step by step, whether you're bringing on an employee or an independent contractor. No guesswork, no "winging it." Plus, it throws in professionally crafted templates—like an offer letter—so you don’t have to start from scratch or rely on that dusty template you found online.

  • The manual gives you the confidence to navigate the tricky process of terminating an employee—whether they’re simply moving on or, let’s be honest, are a bit of a handful. You’ll also get access to polished templates, like a termination letter and final paycheck acknowledgment, so you can handle the exit with professionalism (and maybe just a touch of relief).

  • The manual is your playbook for tackling workplace misconduct, covering every step needed to address sticky situations with confidence and fairness. To make your life easier, it also includes professionally designed templates for every step of the process—because handling misconduct is tough enough without chasing down the right paperwork.

  • The manual answers the million-dollar question: "How much time off do my employees get for meal and rest breaks?" It covers all the nitty-gritty details so you don’t have to second-guess. Plus, you’ll get professional templates like a meal waiver agreement, keeping things clear, compliant, and totally hassle-free.

  • The manual is your go-to guide for all things wage and overtime. It answers your questions, clears up the confusion, and ensures you stay on the right side of the rules. Because no one wants to mess with payroll headaches—or fines.

  • The manual tackles all those head-scratching questions about paid time off—like, what’s the deal with PTO vs. paid sick leave? It breaks it all down in plain, simple terms, so clear that even your 5-year-old could explain it back to you (though they might demand a snack for their efforts).

  • The manual lays out everything you need to know about paid sick leave. Spoiler alert: most employees are entitled to it. We're here to help you navigate the rules and get it right—because the only thing worse than a sick day is a lawsuit.

  • The manual has the answers to all those "What if?" scenarios—like, how much time off does an employee get if she’s pregnant? (Spoiler: yes, she gets time off.) From disability to military leave, it’s all covered here, so you’re never caught off guard.
