MAIN Business Small Business Human Resources

Following the right path in Human Resources gets more complicated every day.

Providing health benefits, preventing company liability for discrimination, and defining who is a contractor and who is an employee - are just a few of the functions of HR.

These sites help to sort it all out...

Business Owners Toolkit - People Who Work for You - CCH shares advice and offers training through articles and free email courses designed to bring you up to speed on the latest best practices in hiring, firing, performance evaluations, discrimination, harassment and other HR tasks.

The HR Guide for Canadian Employers - Many HR issues are international, while some laws are for specific regions - this site covers Canadian information, but many of the articles are relevant anywhere.

Business Owner's Idea Cafe - This site covers much more than HR issues and does it in a relaxed setting. The HR section covers the issues you need to know about and offers a forum to discuss specifics with other business owners. Time well spent!

International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans - This site has excellent resources with a USA and Canada focus, but the InfoSource database of articles has international articles, though all are in English. Free regisitration is required for the search.

Social Security Programs Around the World - Each country has its own version of an enforced savings for retirement plan... and how much a business owner contributes or deducts from employee salaries changes, too. This recent info will help you make sure you are covered.
