Did you catch the Advisor articles about hiring entire teams? If not, you can catch up here for part 1 and here for part 2.

In that article, we talked about some of the benefits of hiring entire teams instead of individuals. These benefits include:

  • An entire team may be able to integrate more quickly into the organization.
  • Hiring an entire team is more likely to bring in complementary skill sets, all at once.
  • There may be a shortened time to full productivity.

If these types of benefits sound appealing, perhaps your organization should consider hiring teams. If hiring an entire team or group is something your organization is interested in, you may be wondering about the logistics of it. How would you go about hiring an entire team of people rather than looking for each person individually?

The DOL also confirmed that its current enforcement guidance does not impose a percentage-based limit on the time a tipped employee may spend performing related, non-tip-producing duties. Instead, the inquiry focuses on whether the employee’s duties are related to the employee’s tipped occupation.
