Flexible Pricing

Our retainers are tailored to the size and needs of your business. We offer scalable packages based on headcount, sector, and anticipated usage. Custom packages are available for businesses with specific requirements.

We offer a 30 minute no obligation and complimentary meeting to discuss the retainer service and agree on the most suitable package for you.

Below are our packages to give an indication of our competitive offering. In our initial meeting we will discuss and discover any other variables that we can consider, as the number of employees is just one factor when assessing the needs of your business.

All retainers can be paused and time rolled over to the next month. Any unused time at the end of the retainer can be used to obtain a review/draft of existing employment documents such as contracts, handbook and policies.
