Compensation & Benefits

• Benefit selection, enrollment and annual renewal process

Policies and Procedures

Having your organization’s expectations of employees and employment-related laws documented in an employee handbook or policy manual is critical to enforcing consistency in your employment practices. I In order to effectively perform their job, employees need to know what they can and cannot do, what benefits are offered and what they can expect from an organization.

Operations

Setting up your HR business function to run efficiently and properly is key. Establishing proper protocols for personnel files, new hire paperwork, Form I-9, performance management, discipline, benefit eligibility and leave of absence allowances will provide for consistency and prevent discrimination.

On-Call HR

Examples of these situations include: dealing with pandemics, terminations, layoffs, performance-related issues, various employee concerns, or claims of harassment or discrimination, to name a few.

Employee Exit

Change is inevitable. You don’t want to think about staff leaving your organization, but it happens. Having a plan in place for when change occurs can help you be better prepared. HR professionals can help you create exit documentation, severance packages and proper notifications.
