HR Explained is for anyone with a small to mid-sized business, even if you think you have all your rules in place. There are many laws surrounding employment, so an owner should have a basic understanding of them to keep their business out of trouble. It’s for anyone new to managing other people or unsure of what you can and can’t ask your employees. It also covers the hardest part: how to legally terminate people so you hopefully don’t get sued.
