Becoming an Employer: What you need to know with the Blackpool Growth Business Academy
Delivered on Zoom by Nikki Hesford 10am until 12
Hiring your first employee? It’s a big step — and it comes with important responsibilities. This 2-hour Zoom workshop is designed to guide small business owners through the key legal, financial, and practical considerations of becoming an employer in the UK.
Whether you’re bringing on your first team member or formalising a casual arrangement, this session will give you the confidence to recruit and onboard staff compliantly and effectively.
We’ll cover:
-
Legal obligations when becoming an employer
-
Registering with HMRC and understanding PAYE and payslips
-
Workplace pensions and minimum contributions
-
Writing a job description and advertising the role
-
Interviewing and selecting the right candidate so you don’t end up with a recruit you later regret hiring!
-
Contracts, onboarding, and right-to-work checks
You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the steps involved and practical templates and checklists to help you do it right — the first time.
Ideal for sole traders, growing businesses, or anyone considering taking on staff.
