Employees add another layer of complexity to your business that requires careful consideration and planning.  It is important to hire the right people, train them well, keep them happy so they will stay, and be aware of taxes and legal requirements.  It is wise to consult an accountant and attorney to ensure that good record keeping systems are in place, all the necessary paperwork is completed and legal requirements are met before hiring employees.  Hiring outside contractors or temporary help is also an option.  However, be sure to satisfy IRS requirements for contractors.
