Before you hire an HR Manager — know exactly what you're hiring into

 

Is this you?

- Someone just quit out of the blue...

- I'm afraid I'll get sued.

- I don't know if we're compliant with employment laws.

- My managers keep creating problems...

- I can't afford a $120,000 HR Director

- I just had an employee complaint but don't know how to handle it...

- I just terminated someone but I'm not confident the paperwork holds up, if there's paper work!

- I hired my first HR person — but handing them company situations I don't fully understand yourself.

I'm Natsona C. (aka MentorShelly) — a Fractional HR Consultant with 21 years of experience across Delta Air Lines, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, multi-state healthcare systems, and a PEO serving 65,000 client employees.

I help small and mid-size businesses — 5 to 500 employees — get the HR expertise of a senior HR director without the $90,000–$110,000 full-time hire. If you have employees and no one dedicated to HR, you have exposure. I find it, fix it, and keep it from becoming a lawsuit.

DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?→ You just had an employee complaint and aren't sure how to handle it without getting sued. You might be in the right place if:

→ You just had an employee complaint and aren't sure how to handle it without getting sued
→ You let someone go and aren't confident the documentation holds up
→ You're about to post — or just posted — for an HR Manager and don't know what gaps they'll inherit
→ Your managers make decisions on instinct and nobody's writing anything down
→ You lost an unemployment claim and didn't know you could fight it
→ Your employee handbook hasn't been updated since before COVID
→ You have contractors who've worked with you over a year doing employee-level work
→ You're expanding to a new state and have no idea what employment laws apply there

If you nodded at any of these — you have HR exposure. Here's how I fix it.

HERE'S HOW I WORK WITH BUSINESS OWNERS

Start here: HR Liability Exposure Audit — $2,500 to $4,500 flat
A structured 30-day diagnostic across 8 compliance domains — I-9s, employee relations, leave management, wage and hour, handbook, benefits, HRIS, and manager risk. You receive a written gap report, risk scoring by domain, and a 90-day prioritized action list. Delivered in a 60-minute debrief. No retainer required.

Ongoing: Fractional HR Retainer — $3,500 to $8,000/month
Embedded HR leadership available to your business every week. Employee relations and investigations, FMLA/ADA/Leave Administration, policy guidance, benefits coordination, recruiting, and unemployment claims management — without adding a full-time employee.

Full build: 90-Day HR Infrastructure — $18,000 to $35,000
For companies scaling into new locations, absorbing acquisitions, or building HR from the ground up. I come in as your de facto VP of HR and build your complete people infrastructure — handbook, policies, HRIS, onboarding, leave programs, compensation structure, and manager training.

Here's what ignoring HR Exposure actually costs:

A single I-9 violation: Up to $2,789 per form
A wrongful termination defense: $40,000–$200,000 before you know if you'll win
A missed COBRA notice: $110 per day, uncapped
Worker misclassification — 3 contractors, 2 years: $50,000+ in back pay and penalties

The HR Liability Exposure Audit is $2,500 to $4,500. Flat. One time.
That's not a consulting fee. That's the cheapest insurance your business will ever buy.
