SUPPORT ARRANGEMENTS, Ts&Cs AND PRICING

YOUR SUPPORT BANK

  • Our Your Support Bank option is by far the most popular arrangement with our clients. It provides you with ready access to cost-effective professional HR support as and when you need it, with no lock-in contracts or retainers, and at a fraction of the cost of engaging professional in-house HR capability
  • Clients pre-purchase a number of Support Units in blocks of 5 (minimum 5 units), at a discounted rate compared to our Ad Hoc Support rate. Check current rates below.

  • At the time of making a support request, you are of course welcome to request an estimate of the Support Units that may need to be allocated to provide the support you require
  • Your Support Bank can be “topped up” at any time
  • Unused Support Units are not refundable and expire after 2 years (though rest assured, we’ll let you know in advance if the 2 year period is approaching and you have unused units. We want you to get the value you’ve paid for!). Note that unused Support Units are not transferable (for example, if you sell your business).
