Get help to run your practice smoothly.
Staff to consider hiring, either on a full-term or part-time basis:
- Receptionist (quite necessary full-time).
- Finance and accounts manager.
- Accounting firms and practice management bureaus tend to offer these services (see step 9).
- Otherwise, you can employ someone full- or part-time, depending on the size and requirements of your practice.
- Nurse or sister (very helpful and opens up many more services to offer).
- Cleaner.
NB! If you hire staff you must adhere to the Labour Law requirements, only one of which is to have a poster up with the latest Labour Laws visible to your staff members at all times. Such posters can be purchased online to place in your practice.
Also take a look at the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (SAICA) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to get an idea of the requirements, or consult a labour relations practitioner or lawyer.
