Small Business HR Doesn’t Matter? (Hot Take… and Why It’s Wrong)
Is HR “not important” for small businesses? That’s the most common objection we hear and it’s the fastest way to rack up fines, burnout, and back-office chaos.
In this quick wake-up call, we run through the HR and payroll realities every SMB leader faces: overtime rules, new compliance changes, mandatory retirement programs, paid sick time, paid family leave, and—yes—the Department of Labor.
