When Counter was working out of his garage with a casual labour force made up of a few friends and acquaintances. employment issues were negligible to say the least. However. the expansion of his operation to leased premises meant he had to turn his mind to the expansion of his workforce. It was at this point when Benton realized that his training to become an accountant and his years working with Audit. lConniye and Calculate. had been almost wholly lacking in preparation for handling HR issues. He could figure out payroll and employee deduction for WEB. C.F.P. and El. but hiring and managing personnel was not something he had ever done. Well. it wasn't as though he was boldly going where no one had gone before. so surely all he needed to do was to follow in other's footsteps...As a first step he needed an employment application form. Benton visited a number of large businesses and picked up application forms he could copy- Sitting down at his desk in his study late one evening. he took a bite of a peanut butter sandwich and thought to himself. "No need to re-inyent the wheel. Let's start with the first form... name. address. telephone number .e-mail address. Hmmm? age. sex. preyious employment. education. references. hobbies. sports .associationsl groups and clubs. Nekt. religion and politics. Religious radical or political fanaticsned not apply" chuckled Beanie. He continued. "And.._.Wow! There's one I almost forgot toput down - criminal arrests and conyictions. I don't want any banditos in my operation! Let's see....IB-h yeah! Social Insurance number. i'll need that ifl hire the person."Counter sat back. pushed his glasses up onto his forehead and finished his sandwich and milk. Popping his glasses back down he hit 'spell check' and then admired his completed employment application form. resplendent with the colourful PFF logo on top and congratulated himself on not having to pay someone for the form
