24/7 On-Call HR Support for Maine Small Businesses
Local HR Expertise When You Need It the Most
HR emergencies don't wait for business hours. Employee conflicts, workplace injuries, sudden terminations, and compliance questions happen at 6 PM on Friday, over the weekend, and on holidays. When you're running a small business in Maine, you need immediate access to expert HR guidance, not a voicemail or a generic 1-800 number.
Seneca HR provides local, on-call HR support to Maine restaurants, retailers, healthcare practices, and small businesses across the state. I'm not a call center in another state. I'm your neighbor, I understand Maine employment law, and I'm invested in your success.
What On-Call HR Support Includes
Immediate Guidance When Issues Arise:
Employee discipline and termination support
Workplace injury response and documentation
Harassment or discrimination complaint handling
Sudden resignation or no-show situations
Policy interpretation and application
Maine employment law questions (wage and hour, leave laws, breaks)
Documentation guidance to protect your business
How It Works: When an urgent HR situation occurs, call or email me. I typically respond within a few hours, and often within minutes. I'll talk you through the issue, provide clear guidance on next steps, and help you document everything properly. No waiting until Monday morning.
Why Choose Local Maine HR Support
I Know Maine Employment Law: Maine has unique requirements: earned paid leave, specific meal break rules, whistleblower protections, and mandatory harassment training for certain employers. I stay current on Maine Department of Labor regulations and help you stay compliant with both state and federal law.
Personalized Service, Not a Call Center: I take time to learn your business, your management style, your team, and your industry. When you call, you're talking to the same HR professional who knows your situation, not reading from a script. This is relationship-based support.
In-Person When You Need It: Unlike national HR hotlines, I can be on-site when situations require it. Need help conducting a termination meeting? Responding to a serious workplace incident? Leading an investigation? I'm local and available.
Cost-Effective HR Expertise: Most small businesses can't afford a full-time HR director (salaries range from $70K-$100K+). My on-call support gives you experienced HR guidance at a fraction of that cost. You get professional expertise without the full-time overhead.
Industry Experience: I specialize in restaurants, hospitality, and small businesses with unique challenges: high turnover, tipped employees, seasonal staff, front-line managers promoted from within, and tight labor markets. I understand what you're dealing with.
Who This Helps
On-call HR support is ideal for Maine businesses with 5-100 employees who:
Don't have a dedicated HR person on staff
Need expert guidance but can't justify full-time HR
Want peace of mind for after-hours emergencies
Are tired of generic advice that doesn't account for Maine law
Value a local partner who understands their business
Common industries I support: Restaurants and bars, hotels and inns, retail stores, healthcare practices, professional services, nonprofits, manufacturers, and contractors.
Investment
Seneca HR offers flexible pricing to fit your needs and budget:
Monthly Retainer Packages: Pricing is based on the average number of hours you anticipate using per month. This gives you predictable costs and priority access when HR issues arise.
Hourly/Per Diem Support: Need occasional help without a monthly commitment? I offer services at a low hourly rate - a fraction of what other HR consultancy firms charge. Pay only for the time you use.
Flat-Fee Projects: Some services, like employee handbook development, compliance audits, and policy creation, are available for a flat fee so you know exactly what you'll pay upfront. Every business is different. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your specific needs and create a pricing structure that works for your budget.
