How To Create an HR Plan for a Startup Company

Building a strong foundation for your startup’s HR is crucial to long-term success. You may feel like developing an HR plan for a startup is like putting the cart before the horse, but it’s far more important than many founders realize. When you start with an excellent HR foundation, your organization will grow and thrive around it. A well-crafted HR plan ensures your startup attracts, retains, and develops the talent it needs to not just survive but thrive. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to create an effective HR plan tailored to startups’ unique needs, as well as how Mosey can help with business compliance.

Mosey Announces Sales Tax Registration Beta

We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta! Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax. There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration. That leaves a lot of grueling work to get your sales tax accounts set up across all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).

Introducing Automated Employee Handbooks

Meet Employee Handbooks—a new way for HR teams to maintain a fully compliant employee handbook, complete with state-specific policies and real-time updates as their business and legislation changes. Most handbooks aren’t compliant Many organizations lack sufficient HR resources to maintain their handbooks, exposing them to lawsuits, fines, and penalties. Keeping policies current requires coordination with lawyers across all states where employees work, plus regular updates for changing laws and regulations. Due to their complexity, handbooks demand significant time and resources to manage properly. When these resources aren’t available, critical updates get delayed or missed, creating compliance gaps. These gaps—and the associated risks—only grow larger the longer handbooks remain outdated.
