contract of employment 

Learn the basics of Employment Law, the potential pitfalls and ways to keep yourself out of court so that you can grow your business by hiring, evaluating, and managing employees. 

 

This course will discuss all the necessary information you need to know about employees and independent consultants, what benefits you are responsible for, taxes, discrimination issues, unionization, and workplace safety.  You will learn the ins and outs of how to advertise a job position, and how to effectively interview so that your hiring process goes smoothly.  Learn good evaluation techniques and how to resolve problems before they become really big issues.  However, not everyone is in the right place, and you may have to terminate someone from your employment, and this class will help you to do it the right way.
