Scary HR Myths That Could Be Costing Your Business

Halloween isn’t the only time myths can be spooky — plenty of small businesses fall for HR misconceptions that lead to real risks.

👻 Myth 1: “We’re too small to need HR.”

Truth: Compliance applies no matter your size. Even businesses with just one employee have obligations.

👻 Myth 2: “Employees are like family — we don’t need policies.”

Truth: Policies protect you and your people. They’re not cold, they’re clear.

👻 Myth 3: “Payroll takes care of compliance.”

Truth: Payroll handles paychecks, not employee relations, training, or legal updates.

When businesses rely on myths instead of facts, they expose themselves to fines, lawsuits, and turnover.

👉 Lynn HR Consulting helps small businesses replace spooky myths with solid strategies — so you can sleep at night instead of worrying about HR nightmares.
