Greetings.
This post is for business owners and/or employers --- basically, anyone who has ever employed another individual to work for him/her here in Panama............regardless of which sector, or the nature of the business itself :
(a) what sort of paperwork did you require from the prospective individual?
(b) obviously, a contract was drawn up. What details did you, as the employer, take into account?
(c) did you require references?
(d) is it wise to engage the services of a lawyer when employing someone? Or is that a bit overkill?
(e) what --- if any --- unfortunate incidents occured with someone you employed? What would you advise another potential employer to watch out for?
Thanks
