What is the HR on Demand Service?
The HR on Demand Service is Incorporation Attorney’s solution to help a small business get access to affordable consultation with a human resources expert.
What’s the Purpose of Having a Human Resources Department?
Having an HR department is important because all businesses will encounter internal problems with their employees one way or another. There are many cases in California where companies have gone bankrupt from paying settlements with disgruntled employees. Most of the time, these issues could have been avoided if the enterprises involved had competent HR personnel managing the workers’ concerns.
The Problem: Why Many Small Businesses Have No HR Staff
A lot of micro and small businesses in California choose not to hire HR personnel. The usual reason is that hiring them is very expensive. Typically, an HR expert costs around 2500 to 5000 dollars a month. Many companies, especially solo entrepreneurs and family-owned enterprises, cannot afford this amount.
The Solution: Cost-Effective On-Call HR Expert
Incorporation Attorney created the HR on Demand Service to help micro and small business owners. Instead of hiring HR staff to work for them full-time, entrepreneurs can now avail themselves of this on-call consultation service. They can contact our experts whenever they need them for only 300 to 400 dollars a month.
California Small Business Owner’s Testimony on the HR on Demand Service
We had a client who is a small business owner in California. She availed herself of the HR on Demand Service because she needed help in constructing her company’s Employee Handbook. Jenny Arthur, one of our human resources experts, guided her through each of the steps of creating a comprehensive handbook. The business owner spent an hour of consultation with our HR specialist. Jenny was willing to spend more than the allotted meeting time to address the client’s concerns.
Jenny made sure that the client’s handbook included the details and subtleties in fine print that will protect the employee and the employer from future problems. For example, she made sure the terms of allowable break claims were established in the document. All employees are granted break periods of 20 minutes every working day. This regulation is based on the federal law that states that all employees should be given break-times that are 20 minutes in length at most. These time periods are compensable and should be included in the sum of hours that an employee completes in a week.
The client found Jenny’s services very helpful and informative. Not only was the handbook completed, but all of the parts of the document were clearly explained and elaborated. The business owner was very pleased with the output.
The Employee Handbook is an essential document that all businesses should have. Ideally, an entrepreneur should have his or her employees sign a copy of this guidebook to signify their agreement to the terms of their employment. The handbook is necessary to protect a company from employee-related problems.
How Important is an Employee Handbook?
The Employee Handbook is a document that is best prepared by an HR expert. The contents of the guidebook vary from one business to another, depending on the company’s needs. Typically, having an expert construct a handbook would cost around 1200 to 2500 dollars. But with the HR on Demand Service, an entrepreneur only has to pay 300 to 400 dollars a month to get unlimited HR consultation services regarding various employee-related issues, including thorough guidance on how to create a full Employee Handbook.
A business must have an Employee Handbook because this document contains all the expectations of both the employee and the employer. Ideally, employees have to sign this manual at the beginning of their employment, if they agree with the employer’s terms and conditions.
Without a properly constructed Employee Handbook, a business is at risk of having serious employee-related problems. Angry workers can raise their complaints to the California Labor Department and file lawsuits against their employers. A company can suffer massive financial losses from the cost of these litigations and their settlements.
Ongoing HR Consultation On-Call
The consultation regarding the Employee Handbook was only a preliminary service. Our HR expert offered the client to come back after the guidebook was completed. Jenny also encouraged the business owner to call her if the company needed to fire a worker, so that she could guide the client through the correct process of dismissing an employee. The client is very happy that there is a continuous working relationship with our on-call HR specialist after their initial consultation meeting.
Larger companies hire a human resources department to work for them full-time. If you’re a small business owner, the cost of hiring an HR professional might be beyond your budget. The HR on Demand is a very affordable alternative. For only 10% of the typical cost of an HR department, you can experience ongoing consultation services with an expert. Our HR specialists are always ready to answer your calls as needed.
