At the outset of the founding of your organization, there were no HR issues as it was run by the Founder(s)/ED, the Board, and/or perhaps some loyal volunteers. Maybe you even outsourced some tasks to vendors or consultants. But now you are at the point where you need to actually hire your first employee and your intuition tells you that things are about to get much more complicated. Well, your intuition is right! This session will give you the basics of the HR and payroll regulations to which you need to adhere, as well as introduce some best practices to protect the organization, give your first employee a smooth onboarding experience, and set the foundation for future hiring and employee retention.

Join us and learn:

• Items to consider well in advance of even making an offer to that first employee
• Specific requirements to which you will need to comply
• Not required, but best practices you should consider implementing
• Options to help you with the administrative tasks for which the organization is now responsible

This class is for any founder, board president/chair, volunteer executive director, board finance chair, board member, or other member of an organization that is considering hiring the first employee. This class is online; link will be sent with registration acknowledgement. This class may be recorded.
