That's a bit of an odd post.

The original post was by an owner/founder ("just hired a new biz person", "my existing employees", "my employee", "I'm one of the founders"), had they been big enough to have a dedicated HR department with any possible expertise in that (rather than, say, one person in charge of hiring and payroll) they'd naturally have gone through that rather than asked how to handle it on HN.

I thus assumed — and I think most others readers including patio11 did as well — that there was no such HR with any expertise on the subject which could handle the situation.
