Bethesda Green Luncheon Speaker Series: Hiring and Managing Your First Employees

Hiring and Managing Your First Employees: What the Entrepreneur Needs To Know

Speaker: Keith D. Hudolin, Jackson Lewis P.C.

Hiring, managing, and, when necessary, terminating employees is a critical part of running any business. This is especially true for new start-ups as they put in place policies and procedures for an expanding workforce. Yet start-ups often face the added burden of doing so without a human resources department and without experience in the laws governing discrimination, payment of employees and contractors, non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, workers' compensation, and many other aspects of the employment relationship. This presentation will provide a crash course in the federal, state, and local laws that start-ups must know, and some best practices they should keep in mind, as they hire their first employees and manage an expanding workforce.
