When you hear the words "turnover" and "churn" do your thoughts turn to chilly fall evenings with fresh-baked apple-filled pastries and a big scoop of ice-cream? Or do the words give you a staffing headache? A lot of small-business owners make the mistake of not interviewing to hire once. They don't know it, but their hiring practises mean that they have to go through the hiring cycle a couple of times before they find someone that is the rght fit for the job, and will stick around.
People lie in interviews. It's a fact, get over it. Sometimes they're small lies, like stretching the truth of what their experience is. Sometimes it's a big lie, like why they left their old job. Either way, as an employer, you want to be able to predict how a new hire will fit into your company, and the past is the best way to figure that out.
How do you process payroll for your employees? Almost nothing will sink the morale of your employees faster than screwing up their paychecks. People on tight budgets at home usually can't afford a one or two-week disruption in pay. Here's how the process works.
Tax credits vary from state to state, and from industry to industry. Do you know when to involve your CPA or tax preparation vendor? When do you involve your HR people? It's easy to make sure you're claiming as many of the credits your company qualifies for--hire a professional.
What should you consider when looking for a tax credit services provider. There is no substitute for track record and testimonials. And since there are only a few things that will sink your business faster than a bunch of IRS fines, penalties and liens, your provider's first priority should be to protect your business.
If you hire a lot of new hourly employees each year, it probably makes sense to outsource your tax credit management. But if you only hire a few people, it can be a smarter financial move to handle it yourself--just know that there's a learning curve, and you need to be very organized.
If you're looking for a company to help you maximize the number of tax credits you claim, and minimize your tax burden, here's a few pointers you might think about.
When should you consider outsourcing?
We think that only a violent catastrophe could damage employee morale and job satisfaction faster than a payroll problem. A substantial portion of the workforce lives paycheck-to-paycheck. Disrupt a pay cycle for more than a week, in the wrong week and many people would lose their home. No pressure, boss.
In Startup Boardroom's Day Ten, HR outsourcing leader Bruce Silver answers our question, " The question posed this month by the Startup Boardroom is �What is the worst business decision you see small business people make," by reminding us that no man or woman is an island.
