How it works:
- Retained arrangements offer a monthly cost; we can look at the key services you require and advise on rates accordingly. Prices start at £75 per month.
- You pay a monthly fee for an agreed number of hours or days required each month, allowing you to use our HR services on a regular basis. You can use us as your own HR department or complement and support your existing HR team. Flexible to the level of service you are looking for, the monthly retainer will ensure a priority response to your needs as well as dedicated meeting time (if required).
- The size of a monthly retainer is dependent on the level of service support you require, ranging from the basic HR support and administration service to the full HR business partner support.
- Save your unused HR time for up to 2 months when you aren’t busy with your HR and it when you are busy. Time is recorded to the nearest ten minutes with transparent billing,
