Welcome to another Listener Q&A with The Team at HR Stories! Today's episode goes into these questions:

  1. Can you start an employee as a contractor then transition them to full time?
  2. When an employee changes from part time to full time, do you need to fill out new paperwork or can you just update their status in the HRIS?
  3. How do I prepare myself for the next HR role?
