Have another HR project in mind? Ask about it. Fit and availability are confirmed before starting. Handbooks and related guidance are practical HR support; legal questions should be reviewed by qualified counsel.

Start with the right fit

Useful support starts with a focused need.

This support is a good fit when…

  • You lead a small service business and HR falls to you
  • You need HR basics built or improved, with or without existing documents
  • You want clearer onboarding, manager expectations or people-process ownership
  • You want advice, a scoped project or ongoing help with agreed priorities

You’ll need a different service for…

  • Payroll, benefits administration or hands-on recruiting
  • HR systems, reporting or an employee helpdesk
  • Urgent employee issues or workplace investigations
  • Legal opinions, a compliance audit or certification

Practical HR advice and process improvement. Legal or specialist questions should go to the appropriate qualified adviser.

Straightforward from the start

A little structure. A lot less guessing.

  1. 01

    Have a fit conversation

    Spend 20 minutes discussing your business, the help you need and which type of engagement fits.

  2. 02

    Agree the boundaries

    Confirm the written scope, fee, start date and required inputs before work begins.

  3. 03

    Put the work to use

    Walk through the agreed deliverables together and discuss practical next steps for your business.

When ongoing support makes sense

A steady HR sounding board.

Get ongoing fractional HR support to put practical basics in place and improve how your business handles people questions. Work through one agreed small improvement priority at a time. You can begin directly; the $175 session is optional.

Before we talk

A few helpful answers.

Can I book just a handbook or another one-off project?

Yes. Employee handbooks, handbook updates and custom HR analyses can be booked as standalone projects. You do not need to book the $175 session or a monthly retainer first. Discuss your project.

How are custom projects priced?

Custom projects are quoted individually based on the work involved. The $175 session and $1,500 monthly support are separate offers. The session does not include implementation or handbook work. Scope, deliverables, fee and timing are agreed before starting.

Do I need to sign up for ongoing support?

No. The $175 session and custom projects are standalone engagements. Ongoing fractional HR support is separately scoped, and you can start it directly without booking a session first.

Is this a legal compliance audit?

No. These services provide practical HR advice and process improvement. They do not provide legal opinions, a compliance certification or a guarantee of compliance. Legal questions should be reviewed by qualified counsel.

What does the $175 session include?

A 30-minute conversation focused on one practical HR problem and a short written action plan. No existing documents are required. Implementation, handbook work and ongoing support are separate engagements. We agree the scope and timing before starting.

What information will you need?

Start with a plain-language description of one practical HR problem and what you would like to improve. No existing documents are needed. If useful, you may share one redacted document of up to five pages. Please remove employee names, medical information and confidential case details; do not send employee records.

What if I need urgent employee support?

This service is scheduled advisory and process improvement. It does not include urgent coverage, investigations or an employee helpdesk. Time-sensitive legal or specialist issues need the appropriate qualified professional.

How does the monthly advisory work?

You can start monthly support directly, without the $175 session. The $1,500 monthly engagement includes up to six hours across two 30-minute calls, preparation, research, documents, messages and one agreed small improvement priority. It is not unlimited support. Scope, availability and terms are agreed before starting.

Start with one conversation

What would you like to
stop figuring out alone?

A 20-minute fit conversation is a simple place to begin.

Tell us briefly about your business and the process or project you’d like help with. Your inquiry goes to JD HR Solutions through Google Forms and is processed by Google. Please don’t include employee names, medical information, payroll details, employee records or confidential case details.

Sending an inquiry does not book a service or take payment. Scope, availability and terms are agreed before work begins.
