Who it’s for

Do you recognize yourself in one of those situations?

You need assistance with HR if:

  • HR is taken on by management, payroll, comptroller, leaving you with no real expertise in the field
  • Your existing HR team cannot handle everything, so you need extra support
  • You are doing the best you can based on your knowledge of the applicable laws, which sometimes can lead to mistakes or confusion
  • You count on the labour board info-line to help you make decisions about employees, but every call leaves you wanting more

You need assistance with legal if:

  • Your HR team has no legal background, so you would like to validate your HR decisions with a lawyer
  • You are concerned about your company’s exposure and liability with regards to decisions made in relation to your employees
  • You struggle justifying the budget to call a lawyer to validate your decisions

We've got you covered in both HR and legal
