How to hire an employee. I’ve spoken a lot about hiring employees here on erica.biz, and why it’s so important to start hiring early, especially if you are just starting out and you don’t have a lot of free time to pursue your business. But many people I speak to don’t know how to hire an employee.

With this post, I’ll take hiring an employee step-by-step and show you exactly how I hired someone to help me out at home.

The situation: Brian, my current boyfriend, moved in with me about 7 weeks ago. He’s a freelance graphic designer who builds custom WordPress websites. He works part-time on Whoosh Traffic and takes other client contracts part-time.

He also loves to cook, and we now eat most meals at home. Neither of us enjoy cleaning, and between our businesses, we barely have time to work on the house. If you’ve been reading erica.biz for a while, you know I’m a big fan of hiring out for housekeeping, yard maintenance, etc. We already have

Figures today have revealed Ireland’s economy returned to growth in the January to March period, following a 1.4% contraction in the final quarter of last year.

According to the Central Statistics Office, the economy grew by 1.3%, partly attributed to net exports, which grew 20% on an annual basis.

However, consumer demand continues to be weak, falling by 1.9% in the quarter – the worst in two years.

Furthermore, the construction sector suffered a sharp fall, contracting by 19% on an annual basis.

However, the latest figures will be regarded as encouraging for the former “Celtic Tiger” economy which suffered a prolonged recession and was one of the last euro zone nations to emerge from recession.

Gold, oil and other commodities priced in dollars also feel the pressure when the greenback strengthens.

The European debt crisis is certainly helping to drive the dollar higher as the euro weakens.

Some technical analysts are looking for a bounce in the dollar because it’s been so beaten up, and because so many speculative traders are betting against the dollar.

“Some market participants had speculated that the Fed might signal a further credit easing since the U.S. economy
