Hiring Your First Employee Shouldn't Be This Terrifying

W-4s, I-9s, workers comp, state tax registration, new hire reporting — you don't know what you don't know. Comply gives you every form, deadline, and filing for your state. So you stop Googling at midnight.

Check your checklist below — and we'll email you when Comply launches.

$19/month at launch. No charge until then.

You're not the only one who finds this terrifying.

Every article lists 15 things you've never heard of. Every state is different. And the paperwork feels like a second full-time job.

"I don't even know where to start."

EIN, W-4, I-9, state withholding, new hire reporting — each with different deadlines. 70% of small business owners say understanding the rules is their biggest challenge.

"Do I need workers comp for just one person?"

Depends on your state. Some require it from employee #1. Others exempt you up to 5. Miss it and you're personally on the hook.

"Can I just 1099 them and skip the hassle?"

Tempting — but misclassification triggers back taxes, penalties, and IRS audits. The government doesn't care that you didn't know.

"The paperwork is keeping me up at night."

You built this business yourself. Bringing on help shouldn't feel like starting over. You don't need a $300/hour lawyer — you need a checklist.

Tell us your state. We tell you everything you need to do — in plain English, with deadlines, step by step.

Questions

No. Comply is an information tool that aggregates publicly available regulatory requirements from state and federal sources. For legal advice specific to your situation, consult a licensed attorney.

All 50 US states at launch. Requirements are sourced directly from state labor department and secretary of state websites, updated as regulations change.

That's the whole point. Comply monitors for regulatory changes and alerts you when something in your state updates that affects your business. You'll know before the deadline, not after.

Maybe — but probably not. The IRS has specific tests for contractor vs. employee classification. Get it wrong and you owe back taxes, penalties, and face an audit. Comply helps you understand the difference for your situation.

A compliance attorney costs $300/hour. One missed deadline can cost $30,000. At $19/month, Comply costs less than a single hour of legal consultation — and it watches your back every day.

Stop Googling. Start hiring the right way.

Get the step-by-step checklist for your state — every form, every deadline, every registration.
