SHRM HELPS YOU STAY LEGAL AND COMPETITIVE If you interview people for a job in your company, Do you know the questions you can’t ask? If you have a difficult employee, Do you know how to manage this person up or out? If you keep records on your employees, Do you know what cannot be in their file? If you have an unemployment claim, Do you know how to defend and protect your company? If you are losing employees for a 25 cent difference in pay? Do you know what you can do to keep your people?

If your company has up to 14 employees Are you in compliance with these 20 federal laws?
