PRICING FAQ

Pricing questions, answered

What’s included in the free initial phone consultation?

We’ll talk through your goals, current HR pain points, and the level of support you need. You’ll get a clear recommendation (retainer vs. hourly), an estimated scope, and next steps—no pressure to move forward.

What are your rates for retainer and hourly support?

Retainer support is $3,000 per month. Hourly consulting is $300 per hour. After the free consultation, we’ll confirm the best approach and document the scope so you know what you’re paying for.

Do you require a minimum number of hours for hourly work?

No minimum is required. Hourly support is a good fit for targeted needs like a leave question, an accommodation process, a manager coaching session, or reviewing a performance plan.

How does billing work, and when are payments due?

Retainers are billed monthly. Hourly work is billed based on time spent, with clear timekeeping and straightforward invoices. We’ll confirm billing cadence and payment terms before any work begins.

Can you support employers outside New York State?

At this time, Leaf and Lantern HR Consulting LLC serves clients within New York State only. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, reach out and we’ll clarify during the free call.

Which services do clients typically use retainer support for?

Retainers work well for ongoing employee relations support, leave and accommodation management, performance improvement guidance, and workplace wellness & wellbeing initiatives. If your needs are occasional or project-based, hourly support may be the better fit.
