Real HR professionals protecting your business — for a fraction of what an in-house HR manager costs. Available right now, no software required.
California has some of the strictest labor laws in the country. Most small businesses don't have an HR expert — and it shows up when it's too late.
California requires specific break rules. Missing them means one premium penalty per employee, per day — and they add up fast.
Without a proper employee handbook or documented process, a termination dispute can quickly become a six-figure legal exposure.
California requires up-to-date federal, state, and OSHA posters at every workplace. Outdated or missing posters carry real fines.
Every Escochecks HR Advisory plan gives you direct access to our HR team — not a chatbot, not a ticketing system. Real people who know California labor law.
Call, email, or chat with our HR professionals whenever a question comes up — employee disputes, terminations, policy questions, or anything in between.
We monitor California and federal law changes and update you proactively — so you're never caught off-guard by a new requirement.
Employee handbooks, offer letters, disciplinary forms, termination checklists, and a full library of California-compliant HR templates — ready to use.
Every subscriber receives a current, laminated California Labor Law, Federal, and OSHA-compliant poster — shipped to your office, updated when the law changes.
We walk you through onboarding checklists, required notices, and compliant termination processes — so every hire and departure is handled correctly.
