FAQ
Answers to common service questions
How do we get started?
Start with a free initial phone consultation to understand your goals, current challenges, and timeline. We’ll recommend a practical path forward—whether that’s help with leaves, accommodations, employee relations, performance, or wellbeing—and outline clear next steps before any work begins.
How is pricing structured?
You can choose a $3,000/month retainer for ongoing support or $300/hour for project-based help. After the free consult, we’ll confirm the scope, expectations, and billing approach in writing so you know what you’re getting and what it will cost.
Do you work with employers outside New York State?
At this time, services are available to employers within New York State only. If you’re unsure whether your situation qualifies, reach out—during the free consultation we can confirm fit and suggest an appropriate next step.
What kinds of leave and accommodation support do you provide?
We help you manage employee leaves and workplace accommodations from intake through documentation, interactive dialogue, communications, and return-to-work planning. The goal is a consistent, well-documented process that supports employees while reducing risk and disruption for your organization.
Can you help with employee relations and performance issues?
Yes. We support managers with investigations planning, documentation, difficult conversations, corrective action, and performance improvement plans. You’ll get practical, respectful guidance that aligns with your policies and helps you address issues early and consistently.
What if we’re not sure which service we need?
That’s common. Use the free initial call to talk through what’s happening and what outcome you want. We’ll help you identify the root issue, prioritize next steps, and recommend an approach that fits your team—whether it’s a short project, hourly support, or a retainer.
