A New Way to Assess Sales Hires

Managers often incorrectly base their sales hiring decisions on characteristics like looks or industry knowledge. While these can admittedly contribute to a salesperson's success, they don't adequately measure if an employee can actually sell. In fact, not even a traditional sales personality test does that. DanJoy helps remove some of the guesswork from sales hiring with its Joy Tests of Total Sales Ability. The company offers a free trial, which gives you access to 10 free sales assessment tests.  --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Health Care Reform Could Impact Small Business

The House of Representatives and the Senate Health, Education, Labor, & Pensions Committee (HELP) have each submitted health care reform bills that could have major implications on your small business. The House legislation requires companies with a payroll of $250,000 or more to provide coverage to their employees. The HELP Committee's bill would penalize employers with more than 25 workers that pay for less than 60 percent of their premiums. Both plans also call for self-employed individuals to purchase health insurance or face a fee. To help ease these costs, each proposal also includes different measures on tax credits for small businesses and public plan options for individuals. Next up, the Senate Finance Committee submits its version of the bill. It's far from a done deal, however; the NASE, NFIB, and NSBA are currently lobbying against "employer mandates." --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Tips on Hiring Teens for Summer Jobs

Young workers - especially those in their first summer jobs - suffer a disproportionate share of on-the-job injuries because of their inexperience. And also because, well, they are teenagers who may hesitate to ask questions and may fail to recognize workplace dangers. That can put your business at risk. Injuries often occur in businesses you might not think of. More than 75 percent of incidents happen in the retail and service industries - not sectors usually considered more injury-prone such as manufacturing and construction. For tips on how to prevent the accidents and protect your business when hiring teenagers, visit the What Works for Business Blog. --Brian Luskey, Associate Editor

Update Your I-9 Forms

As of April 3, you must use the revised federal Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, for your new hires. The only significant change in the form: a requirement that all ID documents have not expired. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) says that expired documents are 'prone to tampering and fraudulent use.' This only affects dated documents; a Social Security card, for instance, is considered unexpired. Download the new form and handbook from the USCIS or call 1-800-375-5283. --Jeff B. Copeland, Content Product Manager
