📊 Small Business Owners: What does it really cost to hire someone?
Spoiler alert: It’s more than just salary.

Before that new hire even starts producing, here’s what you’re spending on average:

🗓 49 days – Time to fill the role
💸 $1,433 – Training cost in a small business
📈 29.5% – Benefits on top of salary
🕐 6 months – Time to break even on your investment
🚩 And a bad hire? That could cost 30% of their annual salary

🧠 If you’re hiring without a strategy, you’re putting your operations—and profit—at risk.
That’s why we partner with small businesses to make smarter hiring decisions, reduce turnover, and align talent with long-term growth.

🚨 Leadership Scandals Start with Policy Gaps 🚨

We’ve all seen the headlines: a CEO and HR Director caught in a workplace scandal. And while the story might make for juicy gossip, for business owners, it’s a wake-up call.

When the people responsible for protecting your business are the ones crossing the line, who’s holding them accountable?

This is exactly why having clear, enforced HR policies matters—at every level of the organization.

✅ Do your policies apply to leadership—or just frontline staff?
✅ Is there a real process in place to address misconduct from the top?
✅ Are you set up to protect your people and your reputation?

This isn’t about red tape—it’s about protecting your team, your culture, and your business. We work with business owners to make sure you’re not left exposed when internal trust breaks down.

If this story hit a nerve, let’s talk. Because hoping for the best is not a strategy.

🚨 Attention Small Business Owners — Important E-Verify Update! 🚨

As of July 15, 2025, E-Verify has enhanced the Status Change Report to now include a "Revoked Document Number" field. This change directly impacts any current employees who originally presented an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) that has since been revoked by DHS.

✅ What this means for you:
If an employee's EAD appears on the updated Status Change Report, you are legally required to complete a reverification using Form I-9, Supplement B.
Do not create a new E-Verify case — simply compare the original EAD number used for the I-9 with the number listed in the report.

⏱️ Timely action is critical. Employers must reverify employees within a reasonable timeframe to remain compliant with federal employment verification laws.

🔍 Not sure how to review your cases or interpret the report?

📩 Let MS Consulting Firm handle it for you.
We can take this off your plate and ensure full compliance with DHS and E-Verify requirements—saving you time, risk, and unnecessary stress.

⏳ How Much Time Are You Spending on Employee Documentation? ⏳

The average small business owner spends 4–8 hours per employee every month managing HR files, compliance documents, disciplinary actions, and onboarding paperwork.

Let’s do the math:
📂 10 employees = up to 80 hours/month
💸 That’s nearly 2 full workweeks you could spend on growth, not admin.

At MS Consulting Firm, we streamline your entire employee file management process with:
✅ Legally compliant documentation systems
✅ Organized digital records & audit-ready files
✅ Policies that prevent costly mistakes
✅ On-demand HR support so you’re never guessing

💼 What that means for your business:
✔️ Time back in your week
✔️ Reduced legal risk
✔️ Peace of mind

💰 Time is money — we help you reclaim both.

🚨 Small Business Owners: Let’s Talk HR! 🚨

You didn’t launch your business to manage employee files, chase down I-9s, or decipher compliance codes—but we did. 🙌

💡 Here’s the truth:
The average small business spends up to 25 hours/month managing HR tasks manually. That’s 300 hours a year—time you could reinvest into sales, strategy, or scaling your business.

💸 And when HR goes wrong?
Misclassification penalties, EEOC claims, or missed documentation deadlines can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000—or more.

✨ At MS Consulting Firm, we give you time and peace of mind back.
From hiring to handbooks, compliance to culture, we handle the people part so you can stay focused on the profit part.

⚠️ Business Owners, Are You Protected Against Retaliation Claims? ⚠️

Retaliation remains the #1 claim filed with the EEOC year after year — and most employers don’t see it coming until it’s too late.

Whether it’s disciplining an employee after a complaint, mishandling internal investigations, or unclear policies, even well-meaning businesses can end up in legal trouble.

At MS Consulting Firm, we help small businesses navigate these gray areas with:
✅ Clear retaliation prevention policies
✅ Manager and supervisor training
✅ Support with internal investigations
✅ Documentation best practices that stand up under scrutiny

🛡️ Don’t let a simple misstep become a costly legal battle. We partner with you to protect your people and your business.
