Most small businesses run fine until the moment they don't. Those moments are where the lawsuits come from, and they're exactly when searching online isn't good enough. HR on Call puts a 20-year HR executive on your team before the problem starts.
One call. You find out exactly what you're legally required to do, and what you must not say, before you accidentally create a discrimination claim.
We walk you through the conversation and review the separation agreement before you sign anything, so the termination is clean, documented and defensible.
You're legally on the clock the moment you know. We tell you what you're required to do, help you respond the right way, and keep you out of the territory of having ignored it.
Guidance on where you actually stand and how to respond, before it turns into a Department of Labor problem you didn't see coming.
Reviewed before they go out, so you're not building tomorrow's liability into today's hires. Misclassification and bad offer terms are some of the most expensive mistakes a small employer makes.
Most fractional HR firms make you book a call to learn the number. Luman Group publishes it. Pick the level of cover you need.

Meghan would rather lose a call than take a company she is wrong for. Read both lists honestly.
Same or next business day for On Call, with priority response for Fractional HR. If something is truly urgent, like a termination tomorrow or a complaint today, reach out and we will make it work.
We flag it before you do, so there are no surprise invoices. Extra time is billed at your member rate, or you move up a tier if you are consistently using more.
The templates give you the documents. HR on Call gives you the documents and a person, someone to call when a template is not enough and you need judgment on your specific situation. The full template library is included in every retainer.
Retainers run month to month after a short initial term, and you can cancel with notice. The goal is to be worth keeping, not to lock you in.
No. It is HR guidance from a 20-year HR executive, not legal advice. When a matter genuinely needs an attorney, we tell you plainly and can refer vetted employment counsel.
No. Payroll processes payroll, and a PEO (a professional employer organization) handles benefits and admin. Neither tells you whether a termination is a lawsuit, or whether your manager is owed overtime. Luman Group is the HR judgment over whatever you already have.
That is fine. Handbook rebuilds, classification audits, pay reviews and workplace investigations all run as standalone projects. Tell us what you need and we will quote it, with no retainer required.
Send the form and Meghan will point you to the right-sized help, from a single template to a full HR partnership. Prefer to talk? Call or text.
