Hiring is hard. If you fling yourself headfirst into expanding your business, you open yourself to a boatload of risk. But, if you proceed with too much caution, you severely limit your potential for growth. And that’s not even considering the legal necessities! Ignoring the legalities and technicalities of hiring may seem to simplify your hiring process, but this is one case where ignorance isn’t bliss. What you don’t know can hurt you, and that’s where we come in.

G & G Law’s Employment Toolkit: A Small Business Guide to Employment Law provides an overview of the legal landscape that alleviates the worry of the unknown and provides concrete steps you can take to protect your business and grow with confidence. We’ve reviewed the statutes, drawn from our own experience in employment law, and broken them down with three goals in mind:

• Prioritize the most important information for you. With an ocean of advice available online, it’s hard to find trustworthy answers if you don’t know what to look for. So, based on what we’ve seen, we’ve pulled out what will help you most. What issues do we encounter again and again? What are the most common questions?
• Educate you on the most overlooked and misunderstood aspects of employment. Through years of experience, we have peered into the dusty corners of employment law and know the nasty surprises that await unsuspecting employers.
• Simplify complicated and confusing laws, distilling them down to easy-to-implement action items and pitfalls to avoid.

This isn’t the end-all resource for all your employment needs, but it’s practical, it’s affordable, and it points you in the right direction. It’s a reliable resource (written in plain language, not legalese!) from attorneys who understand business owners.
