SOP Starter Pack
For owners of service businesses with staff, such as salons, clinics, cleaning and home service companies, whose procedures live in their head
Two arcs in one pack. Hire to day 28: a tracker that works the three federal paperwork deadlines out from the start date, counting business days, and a card naming who does each step at each location. Day 1 to 90: an hourly offer letter, a first-week shift plan, a role scorecard, skill sign-offs, four scripted check-ins and a ninety-day review that ends in a decision with the reason recorded.
Each onboarding costs an owner four or five hours and the paperwork gets done because somebody remembered. This pack names one person per step per location and works the dates out for you: the employer section of the work-authorization form within three business days of the first day of paid work — business days, so a Friday start is due the following Wednesday — the new-hire report within whatever interval your own register says, and a tax-credit pre-screening form within twenty-eight days if you claim one.
It states those three structures and nothing else. No penalty figure, no state named, no form edition date and no view on whether a tax credit program is currently certifying: all four change, and all four are numbered rows on a compliance register you complete once with your own adviser. It reproduces no government form either — the day-one checklist names them and tracks that each was done, while you download the current edition from the issuing agency. The ninety-day review calls day 90 a management checkpoint rather than a probationary period, because what it means depends on where you are, and it carries a review block so your adviser can sign the master copy.
