Ad-Hoc HR Support
Expert HR Advice and Support — No Contracts, No Commitment, Just When You Need It
Get Expert HR Help — Only When You Need It
Not every business needs ongoing HR support. Sometimes, you just need someone to step in, solve a problem, and get out of your way.
That’s exactly what our Ad-Hoc HR Support is for.
Whether you’re facing a staff issue, dealing with employee paperwork, or just want to make sure you’re handling things correctly — we’re here when you need us, and only when you need us.
No contracts. No packages. Just expert help at a fair hourly rate.
Why Businesses Choose Ad-Hoc Support
You don’t always need a full HR audit or a support package. Sometimes, you need:
-
Help writing a letter to an employee
-
Someone to review a contract or handbook
-
Guidance on handling a grievance or complaint
-
A sounding board for an ongoing staffing issue
-
Admin help issuing documents or tracking leave
Our ad-hoc service gives you fast, tailored support for whatever HR or employment law challenge you’re dealing with — without having to commit to anything long-term.
Transparent Pricing That Makes Sense
We offer two levels of support:
🧠 HR Consultancy & Employment Law Advice: £65/hour + VAT
📋 HR Administrative Support (Letters, trackers, templates, etc.): £25/hour + VAT
That’s significantly lower than many UK HR consultancies, which typically charge £75–£150+ per hour — and that’s often just for general advice.
We deliver:
- Bespoke guidance, not generic templates
- Clear action plans, not waffle
- Real answers, not automated scripts
💡 Perspective Check: Your Time. Your Team’s Time. What’s It Worth?
If your hourly rate — or that of your managers — is more than £25–£65/hour, you’re already losing money trying to handle HR tasks yourself.
Spend your time growing your business. We’ll handle the compliance, documentation, and headaches.
What You Can Use Ad-Hoc Support For
Examples of Consultancy Support (£65/hour):
- Managing a disciplinary or grievance
- Navigating sick leave and long absences
- Planning a restructure or redundancy
- Investigating employee misconduct
- Reviewing or drafting bespoke contracts and policies
Examples of Admin Support (£25/hour):
- Drafting letters, trackers, and onboarding docs
- Formatting job descriptions and adverts
- Setting up absence trackers or induction plans
- Logging documents or updating personnel files
And if your need overlaps with one of our service packages? No problem — we’ll still tailor it to your exact situation.
Step 1: Book Your Free Introduction Call
We’ll have a short (free) 15-minute call to understand what you need. Based on that, we’ll:
-
Suggest the most efficient route forward
-
Provide a fixed quote or estimate based on time required
-
Agree milestones or deliverables where needed
No pressure, no hard sell — just a helpful chat to see where you stand and whether we can help.
Step 2: Pay As You Go
Once you’re happy, we get to work. You only pay for the time used — nothing more.
-
We can support you remotely via email, phone, or Teams
-
We can also visit you in person (travel costs apply — we’re based near Rochdale)
You stay in control — no subscriptions, no surprise invoices, and no minimum spend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I use ad-hoc support for?
Just about anything HR-related. Whether it’s a quick check of a letter, support handling a grievance, or help drafting bespoke documents — we’re here when you need us. You only pay for the time you use.
What’s the difference between consultancy and admin support?
Consultancy support (£65/hour +VAT) covers HR advice, employment law guidance, and higher-level work like policies, investigations, or strategy.
Admin support (£25/hour +VAT) is for practical tasks like document formatting, trackers, onboarding paperwork, etc.
How do I know how much it will cost?
We start with a free intro call to understand what you need. Then we provide a fixed quote or estimated hours depending on the task. You’ll always know the cost upfront — no surprises.
Is there a minimum spend?
Nope. If you only need 30 minutes of admin support, that’s all you pay for. We track time carefully and only bill what’s used.
Can I use this service for the same things as your other fixed-fee services?
Yes. If you don’t want a full package, we can provide bespoke support on a pay-as-you-go basis for things like disciplinaries, redundancies, hiring, or absence.
Can you visit my site?
We’re based near Rochdale and can attend site visits if needed. Travel costs apply, and we’ll agree those with you upfront. Most work can be done remotely over phone, email or Teams.
What if I need help again later?
Just give us a call. You can come back to us any time for more ad-hoc support — or if your needs grow, we can talk about our Retained Support Packages.
How are you different from helplines or template providers?
We don’t just send you a document and leave you to it. We give you tailored advice, explain what to do (and why), and write documents that match your specific situation. We’re hands-on, not hotline.
