Because we work with companies like yours every day (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage doors) we know and understand the laws that impact you. The problems you address on a daily basis, from incentive pay to OSHA requirements to the use of company-owned vehicles, are topics that a standard HR firm just doesn’t understand. Not only do we know your industry, as a small family-owned company ourselves we can relate to many of the challenges you might face. We get to know you personally and offer honest advice that's easy to understand and specific to your needs. We guarantee no canned responses or AI-generated content... just real expertise from real HR pros.

While we can offer one-off advice in a pinch, this will only get your business so far. We prefer that clients keep us on retainer so we can provide you with ongoing advice, essential resources, and proactive tips as your business progresses. This way we can help you get to the root of the issue and solve it, instead of just putting a band-aid on it, and ensure your company documents (employee handbook, safety manual, required employee paperwork) align with the decisions you make. 

Retainer accounts are flexible, affordable, and require no long-term commitment. Check out our services page to learn more.

Even the best templates don’t take into account your industry, company size, state-specific legislation, and personal business preferences. And they are often written in "legalese" so they're impossible to understand. These details matter when it comes to putting policies into daily practice and keeping your company legally protected. Because we specialize in handbooks and safety manuals for the Trades, we make sure they do exactly what you need. Plus, we offer advice on best practices so you're not just compliant but also competitive in the industry, giving you an advantage in recruiting and retention.

Unless you're paying pure hourly wages - or your employees never work overtime - you may be getting it wrong. Overtime pay is tied to the average an employee earns over the pay period, not their base hourly rate. So if an employee gets performance pay (spiffs, bonuses, etc.) on top of their hourly rate, you need to add BOTH when calculating overtime. Most payroll software doesn't make this easy on you, so if you're not taking extra steps to be compliant, you probably aren't!

We can help your business by making sure your payroll is compliant, easy to manage, sustainable, pays your employees fairly, and makes you competitive in the industry. Let us do the hard work for you!
