Hiring your first employee?
Let’s get it right from day one.
Taking on your first employee is exciting, but it comes with responsibilities that most business owners aren’t taught.
Contracts, policies, payroll, holiday entitlement, sick leave, probation periods… it can quickly feel overwhelming.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
At Lowarn HR, I help small businesses across Cornwall and Devon put the right foundations in place so you can hire with confidence.
No jargon. No scare tactics. No unnecessary paperwork.
Just practical advice and everything you need to get started properly.
