You are after all in "Business". Start slow, don't give away the world right away. Save some for incentive purpose. I give, after a year of employment one week paid vacation and six paid holidays after two years I give two weeks. Remember, especially in a small company when one of your employees is on vacation the others have to make up the difference and that often means overtime and delays. Expenses go up considerably. Employees are the backbone of any company so treat them well but you must stay in business or you are helping no one. Don't offer any medical benefits until the employee has been there a substantial period. One year at the least. There are so many hidden expenses with employees that it will make your head spin. Be very careful and go slow.
