Template: the hiring checklist (AB 5-safe), from the decision to the first day

One page from "we need another person" to the end of the first day, with the decision that AB 5 forces at the top: employee, or licensed subcontractor under a written subcontract that meets every Labor Code 2781 condition. The employee path lists what must exist before the first day and what happens on it, in order, with the section behind each line. Fill it in for every hire and keep it in the personnel file.
