SERVICES
You face serious fines or disruption if your company is in violation of federal or state labor regulations. Attorneys prosper from confusing rules and regulations, and small businesses are prime targets. A down economy also tends to bring more claims and suits from employees, who can't easily jump ship and go to a new employer if they are disgruntled.

PRICING
All small businesses need HR support but likely don't need that support all the time. Unlike traditional firms, there are no retainers. Pay only for the support you need, only when you need it.
1) Hourly Rate -- Our rates are competitive to ensure cost is never a reason for you to not obtain the support or guidance you need.
2) Flat Fee -- Designed for projects, such as developing handbooks, conducting training, or other needs where billing an hourly rate is not cost-effective for you.
Let us provide you with a free consultation to review your needs. We're just a click or a call away. Call Charlotte Jensen, President, directly at (804) 339-5576 or email at cjensen@colejamesassociates.com.
