What do CPS’ HR consulting services cost?
Since each package contains a different level of offerings and support, the price will vary depending on which option you choose to best fit your needs.
- EssentialHR: The cost for EssentialHR is a flat $750 annual fee. This cost is the same no matter how many employees you have. While EssentialHR is an ideal solution to lay the groundwork for continued compliance, as you grow, you may have more complicated needs that require additional assistance. In these cases, one of our other packages may be the best choice.
- AdvancedHR: The annual cost for AdvancedHR is $1,800. You’ll see that it costs more than EssentialHR but it is a proactive service with more live support from a Senior HR Business Partner who is licensed and certified by industry organizations like the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) and the HR Certification Institute (HRCI). Plus, it features more compliance services to help you avoid costly fines and lawsuits.
- PremiumHR: The annual fee for the PremiumHR package is $3,800. The additional $2,000 cost associated with this package is due to the level of handbook customization that’s required. In the industry, the general range for an HR consulting professional to create an employee handbook is $1,500 to $3,000.
- UltimateHR: Our UltimateHR package costs $8,000 per year. While it is our most expensive package, it also provides the most one-on-one support and a higher level of guidance. This type of relationship may be particularly useful for companies who need more assistance and don’t have someone in-house who has the experience to handle the responsibilities.
