The minute you hire an employee, your life changes. You are suddenly responsible for a lot of things. Payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, Workers compensation. Are we having fun yet?

As a small business owner, every other Friday brings a sense of panic. You are constantly asking yourself: “Can I make payroll on Friday?” Welcome to Management. Managing people is a challenging task. Employees have been known to lie, cheat, steal money, etc. You probably can’t afford the best employees within your startup budget. You have to hire who can afford to take your low paying job. Additionally, No one will care about your small business venture like you do. You cannot expect employees to do so.
