Running a small or midsize business means wearing every hat — including HR. But outdated policies, vague job descriptions, and compliance gaps can quietly become expensive problems.
CDM HR Consulting helps small-to-midsize businesses build the HR foundation they need, without the overhead of a full-time HR hire. I handle the documents, policies, and compliance details — so you can focus on running your business.
Services
Whether you need a single policy or a full employee handbook, we create documents that reflect how your business actually operates — while staying aligned with current employment law.
What's included:
Custom employee handbook development or updates
Individual policy drafting (PTO, remote work, conduct, etc.)
Plain-language writing your employees will actually read
Annual review options to keep policies current
Best for: Businesses without a handbook, or those relying on an outdated one.
Employment law changes often, and small businesses rarely have the bandwidth to track it. We help you identify gaps and get documentation in order.
What's included:
Compliance document review (I-9s, employee files, postings)
Guidance on federal and state HR documentation requirements
Policy audits to flag outdated or risky language
Recommendations — not legal advice — with referral to counsel when needed
Best for: Businesses preparing for growth, audits, or simply wanting peace of mind.
New hires deserve a smooth start — and your business deserves a repeatable process. The HR Starter Package bundles everything you need to onboard a new employee correctly, from offer to first 90 days.
What's included:
Offer letter template
New hire paperwork checklist (I-9, W-4, state forms, direct deposit)
Employee handbook acknowledgment form
First-day orientation agenda/schedule
Welcome packet content (company overview, culture, key policy summary)
30-60-90 day onboarding plan
IT/equipment setup checklist, customized to your business
Best for: Businesses hiring their first employee, or those without a consistent onboarding process.
Retainer option: Hiring more than once a year? Add the Starter Package as a monthly or per-hire retainer. You get the full document set refreshed and customized for each new role, with priority turnaround since we already know your business. Ideal for businesses in a growth phase or with seasonal/recurring hiring needs.
