Good read, a few things to add:

- Even when you think you are getting a great deal by buying something on Amazon and not paying taxes, you still owe the state those taxes. Your accountant will know more, but you should be filing a Use tax at least every quarter. Easy to get burned if you are buying tons of equipment for new hires and the state anything on it.

-Vacation policy: The 'take it when you need it' method works great. If you don't think it will work, be ready to keep track of all employees used days (it's a huge hassle) because it is a liability and you will owe them some cash on unused days if they split ways with the company.

-If you are going to fire someone, talk to your lawyer or HR connection first. The law can be strict on making sure that the employee is paid on the day you fire them through that time period. It's good to have a check ready for this before you sit them down.



Great! Happy to take a look at a pull request if you have one
