What I help with
Six situations in plain words, what Nell does in each, and what it usually costs. Every fee is flat, typical for a business of one to fifty people, and confirmed on the first call, before any work starts.
-
Your first hire
You are about to hire your first employee and want to start right.
What Nell does
Writes the offer letter, lists the forms you must file in the first week, and sets pay, hours and overtime up the right way. One call before the interview, so you know what you can ask and what you cannot.
From $450 typical, confirmed after a call
-
The handbook
You need a handbook that someone will actually read.
What Nell does
Writes a short handbook in plain words: time off, pay, phones, complaints, discipline, and what happens when a rule is broken. Twenty pages, not eighty. Reviewed with you once a year.
From $1,200 typical, confirmed after a call
-
Contractor or employee
You pay people as contractors and are not sure that holds.
What Nell does
Tests each role against the rules that apply to you, then fixes what does not hold: a contractor agreement that will stand, or a clean move onto payroll with the back pay worked out.
From $600 typical, confirmed after a call
-
The first complaint
Someone complained about a coworker, a manager, or you.
What Nell does
Tells you what to do in the first forty-eight hours, runs the conversations or coaches you through them, and writes the record that shows you took it seriously.
From $900 typical, confirmed after a call
-
Letting someone go
You need to let someone go and do it right.
What Nell does
Checks the timing and the paper trail, writes the separation letter and the final pay, and sits with you before the meeting so it is short, calm and fair.
From $750 typical, confirmed after a call
-
A letter arrived
A letter from an agency or a lawyer is on your desk.
What Nell does
Reads it the same day, tells you what it means and what it could cost, and answers it on time. If it goes further, you will know before it does.
From $1,500 typical, confirmed after a call
The first call is twenty minutes and costs nothing. A fee does not change once it is agreed unless the matter does, and then you hear it from Nell before the work continues.
Not on the list
Most questions from a business with a handful of employees fit one of the six. If yours does not, say so on the call and Nell will tell you whether it is hers, or whose it is.
