How Can I Use My HRB

Consulting Hours?

HR Branches consulting hours can seem a bit confusing,

but they are actually quite simple...

What can I use my consulting hours for?


Did you know that we designed our consulting hours to allow you ultimate flexibility?  Here's the deal, no two businesses operate the same, no two employment situations are the same, and we have yet to find a plug-and-play solution that meets everyone's needs (probably because we lost our magic wand).

Here's the deal with your consulting hours, you can use them as you need them (for the most part).  Here are some ways our clients like to use their consulting hours:

  • Phone consults
  • Email questions
  • Recruiting strategies
  • Interview guide development
  • Job descriptions 
  • Compensation analysis
  • Legal consult on your behalf

*Please note that there may be situations where research is necessary.  Research time will be deducted from your consulting hours.   

Are there any limits to my consulting hours?


Yes there are particular services that we just can not wrap into consulting hours.  However, not many.   Of course, these services are available to you at an additional fee (if not already included in your membership).

Here are the biggies...

  • On-site audit
  • Employee handbook
  • Premium employee handbook design
  • Boutique recruiting
  • Training
  • Apprenticeship buildout and registration

See, not many at all.  Please keep in mind, that we are constantly listening to you and adding new services.  This list may grow as we grow.
