Your HR Consultant Next Door

 Think of us as your behind-the-scenes people expert! HR Next Door helps small and medium size businesses handle everything from hiring and onboarding to terminations, workplace policies, and staying compliant with employment laws all without the cost of a full-time HR team. Whether you have 2 employees or 100, we've got your back so you can focus on what you do best: running your business. 

 Great question! Here are a few tell-tale signs it might be time to reach out: you're spending more time managing people problems than running your business, you're unsure about your employment standards obligations, you've had a termination (or are about to), your team is growing and things feel a little chaotic, or you've just never had any formal HR policies in place. Sound familiar? You're not alone — and help is closer than you think!  

 We offer a warm, hands-on approach to all things HR including employee handbook creation, onboarding programs, job description writing, termination support, HR compliance audits, performance management guidance, and day-to-day HR advice. Whether you need a one-time project or ongoing support, we tailor everything to fit your business and its specific needs. Not sure what you need? Let's chat; that's what the free consultation is for! 

 We totally understand that budget matters especially for small and medium size businesses! At HR Next Door, we believe every business deserves great HR support, which is why we offer flexible, affordable options based on what you actually need. No bloated retainers, no surprise fees. Pricing depends on the scope of work, so the best first step is booking a free consultation where we can talk through your needs and find a solution that works for you. 

 Absolutely — and this is one of the most important things we do! Employment law can feel like a maze, with rules that vary by industry and jurisdiction. We help small and medium size businesses navigate their obligations around overtime, leaves of absence, termination requirements, and human rights legislation so you're always on the right side of the law before a problem ever shows up at your door. 

 Yes 100%! We know it might feel like overkill when you only have a small team, but an employee handbook is one of the best investments you can make early on. It sets clear expectations, protects your business legally, and gives your employees confidence that there are fair, consistent policies in place. Plus, as your business grows, you'll be so glad it's already done! We create handbooks that reflect your specific employment standards and actually sound like you — not a boring legal document. 

 Yes, and please don't do this one alone! Terminations are one of the trickiest areas of employment law. Get it wrong and you could be facing a costly wrongful dismissal claim. We guide you through the entire process from determining the right amount of notice or severance pay, to ensuring your documentation is airtight. We approach terminations with both legal accuracy and genuine compassion, because how you treat people on the way out matters just as much as how you treat them on the way in. 

 Absolutely! We love a good project. Not every business needs ongoing HR support — sometimes you just need one thing done really well. Whether it's a custom employee handbook, a set of job descriptions, a termination letter, a policy review, or an HR audit, we're happy to roll up our sleeves for a one-time engagement. Of course, if you fall in love with having HR support (and many clients do!), we offer ongoing packages too. No pressure just great work either way. 

 The easiest part! Just reach out.  We promise we don't bite. Book a free consultation through our website or send us a DM on Instagram. We'll have a friendly, no-pressure chat about what's going on in your business and how we can help. Whether you're just curious or ready to dive in, we're happy to meet you wherever you're at. We can't wait to connect!
