Or maybe you’re ready to hire someone to assist you right from the outset.  The laws surrounding hiring can get quite complicated, to say the least. In this Legal (not-so) Quickie episode, I’m sitting down with Lonnie GIamela, a partner at the labor and employment law firm of Fisher & Phillips and we’re diving into the most common questions that come up when you’re ready to hire. Even if you’re not planning on hiring anytime soon, you’ll still want to have a listen so when the day comes – and trust me, it will – you’ll have a good understanding of the issues you need to address before you say “you’re hired.”
