Formalize early — informal payroll creates tax and trust issues.

First controls
- Written offer letters and role descriptions
- Clear salary, allowances, and payment dates
- Attendance / leave records
- Proper contractor vs employee classification
- Basic grievance and termination process

Align payroll with tax withholding where applicable and keep records tidy. Consistency builds culture and reduces disputes when someone exits.
