HR 101: Small Company - BIG HR Mistake

I've seen it a thousand times. Small company hires a Payroll clerk who, over time, inherits various - paperwork tasks for new hires and benefits enrollment. Lo and behold, they become the "HR person." Everyone buys into this comfortable illusion until there is a serious claim such as sexual harassment or overtime payment and the Payroll person doesn't have a clue. Where's that panic button?

Here's another story line. The small company has an on-going relationship with a very experienced Human Resources Manager to contact when the claim hits and the company pays a reasonable sum to have an HR expert investigate and resolve the claim successfully. Even better, the company has paid to have the HR expert set up a basic program so that the claim never even happens.
