Overview: There are certain situations where there are pitfalls in employee relations in small businesses, like lacking policies and procedures, saying too much in employee handbooks, thereby creating implied contracts, absence of job descriptions, wrong classification of employees as exempt when they may be nonexempt, wrongly classifying employees as independent contractors, not bolstering an "at-will employment" doctrine, putting too much faith in at-will employment, inconsistencies in the application of policies, giving preferential treatment to an employee or group of employees, a lack of documentation, not evaluating performance, waiting too long to discharge an employee, etc. How the HR Department deals with these obstacles is what the article talks about.
