Common questions
Is my worker an employee or an independent contractor?
The label in the contract does not decide it. Agencies and courts look at how much control you have over the work and whether the person runs an independent business. Misclassification can lead to back taxes and penalties.
Do I need an employee handbook?
Not legally in every case, but written policies help you treat people consistently and defend your decisions if a dispute arises.
Can I make an employee sign a non-compete?
Employment restrictions are regulated, and the District limits non-competes for many workers. Have the agreement reviewed before you ask anyone to sign.
