Get the employee to sign a contract. We're a small business with a few
employees and our contract is worded such that we would have no legal
hassle laying them off easily (not that we ever plan to!)

Put a sign up in the shop and ask around before going onto proper
adverts. When we wanted a full time employee we didnt actually need to
advertise. We just asked about and pretty quickly 2 of my mates were
interested! (and the one who we employed does a great job!)
