ONLINE WEBINAR

Course Description

Adding your first employee is one of the biggest milestones in small business growth, and one of the most misunderstood. This session walks you through the practical and legal steps of bringing someone on: understanding the difference between employees and independent contractors, completing required federal and state paperwork, setting up payroll, and staying compliant with North Carolina labor laws. You will also learn how to write a basic job description, conduct a compliant interview, and build a simple onboarding process that sets your new hire up for success. Whether you plan to hire this year or just want to be ready, this class gives you a confident, realistic roadmap.
