Almost all the time, I hear that employees are a company’s best asset, in some cases I admit but in other cases I just believe there some might be problematic which means more of a liability to the company than an asset. Hiring as well as dealing with the myriad of issues and troubles that arise, and letting go of the problem ones can be very time consuming as well as stressful. In other not to a company’s most important asset become the biggest problem of a company, I will be writing about how to hire and fire an employee

Before going, I need to make something clear. Not everyone one working in a company is a full employee or full staff as you may call them. There are the independent contractors/contract staffs and there are employees/full staff. The difference between this two set of workers isn’t much as they both do the same work and perform similar duties in a company.
Unlike a full staff, a contract staff isn’t much of an obligation to the employer. There is really no need for an insurance payment for a contract staff, in most cases no need for insurance compensation and no need for medicare taxes and social security payments. This is because a full employee is supposed to follow instructions and guidelines in a company while independent contractors are they are called decides when, how and where to work. In the cases of controlling how a full employee uses their time, the only thing that can be done to an independent contractor is request for result at the end of the specific time given, the employer cannot control when they do the job or how they do it but instead gets result. Not to forget, the employer can approve and disapprove the result of an independent contractor since literarily they work for the company.

Getting a large number of files and CVs from people looking to get employed can be something very enjoyable but finding the right people to work together to push the company’s vision and goal as well as dealing with customers is a very important thing for business owners. For a few people having problem with hiring employees, let me help with a simple process when employing.
First, the employer or HRM needs to understand the position available and what it entails. The employer needs to make the employee know what their duties will be in the organization, how many hours the employee will have to be available and when the employee will be leaving office. The employer need to state clearly the educational level and work experience needed to be possessed by the employee as well as the skills needed to be known by the employee. It is most advisable that these things are properly started in the employment application.

Never make mistakes of taking the interviews if you aren’t good at doing it or you do not understand the position the employee is going to be occupying, you can sit there and make final decisions. When taking the interview, determine that the interviewees are in good standing in their previous jobs, finding out why they left their previous jobs is a good start. Make sure you give very good illustrations to the interviewee to be sure if they have the company first at heart or their pay first at heart (Trust every employee cares about their pay but they should be concerned about the growth of the company as that is a growth for them as well). Never overlook the interviewee’s personalities and how well they can get along with people who will be working together. Never forget to get references in their resumes. During the interview, make sure you take note of the interviewee’s honesty, intelligence, skill, and affability, it is very important.
Hiring a good employee is a plus to a company as it becomes either a new profit center or an extra valuable hands in the duties of the company. In most cases, new good employees often cause increase in sales, morale, more assistance to clients and a positive environment while employing to wrong person could be a travesty and at such become a very big liability to the organization. I would have love to continue but for the sake of post length, I will talk about termination in my next post. Terminating the employment of a bad employee could be hot fire for an employer if it isn’t done the right way as the employee could sue for wrongful termination even when you thought you termination was legal and right.
