Okay, so you have decided to become an entrepreneur, self-employed, small business owner, or whatever you want to call yourself. Your life is going to change dramatically, and for those of you who have children, you know exactly what we mean. The days of getting up at noon and playing all night are gone, except for those who own a night time business.

The following HR Basics may save all of your hard work one of these days, so when you decide to hire that first employee, do it correctly.
  1. Start with a legal employment application
  2. Create a Personnel Action Form.
  3. Safety Policy
  4. Cell Phone Policy
  5. EEO Statement
  6. Employee Conduct
  7. Harassment
  8. Workplace Violence
  9. Performance Improvement
  10. Employee Leave
  11. Pay/Salary Administration
  12. Alcohol/Drug Free Workplace Policy
  13. Problem/Dispute Resolution Policy
  14. Cameras, PDA's and Video Equipment Policy
  15. Termination Policy
Not all of these may apply to your endeavor but they are the basics, and all companies need to be able to protect the decisions made and document their paper trail.
