In Europe, it is generally hard to lay-off people. In the US, you can be sued by your employees at any time. While employing outside sales personnel is relatively risk free, employing office staff is not (sales people are generally bound by objectives and can easily be laid-off, even in Europe.)

Employees can sue you for discrimination, wrongful termination or contract breach. Litigation can be triggered by your recruiting process, performance evaluations, and the way you handle grievances or impose disciplinary actions. Legal disputes may be extremely time consuming and costly in expenses, attorney fees and compensatory or punitive damage awards.

The best way to limit your exposure to employee litigation risks is to rely on Iphen for your sales support staff.
