Our Services

The moment you hire that first employee you are subject to most California and Federal Employment Laws and the more employees you have, the more laws that apply to you. The administrative portion of HR is the simplest part of compliance but the more complex part of compliance is observed in your day-to-day practices and behaviors toward employees.

So, how do you know whether or not you're compliant? Ask us about our HR Assessment and we'll let you know where you might be out of compliance plus offer other suggestions that could reduce your risk.

Are you using several online systems? Maybe even doing everything by hand and filing it away in some old binder? Carter Consulting can assist in merging all systems together so you have a one log in platform to access employee information, payroll, workers compensation insurance, time tracking and more. Do not overcomplicate! Plus, when it comes for yearly audits and reporting you will be so pleased to have a one stop platform to pull from, also much more cost efficient. I partner with various platforms that will give you the best bang for you buck!

Maintaining compliance and identifying vulnerabilities are critical to the success of any organization. At Carter Consulting HR, we offer comprehensive audit services tailored to your business needs, including:

• SOC Audits: Evaluating your service organization’s controls and compliance to ensure transparency and build trust with your clients.

• Security Audits: Identifying and mitigating risks through a thorough review of your company's information security measures and protocols.

• EEOC Employment Audits: Ensuring compliance with Equal Employment Opportunity regulations to foster a fair and inclusive workplace while reducing legal risks.

Pressuring employees to work harder or throwing more money at them is, at best, a band-aid to an immediate problem. It's not a long-term solution that will benefit your company. Learning what motivates each employee and how to provide that motivation is more complicated but will result in employees who will readily give their all to helping the company succeed.

Competitive compensation packages ensure a company attracts the top talent available in the industry. When deciding between potential job offers, employees often look to the compensation & total benefits package first. The total package also encourages current employees to stay with a company. Competitive benefits and compensation packages often pay for themselves with the amount of money the company saves on headhunting and training costs of acquiring new employees. Engage with employees each year and find out what benefits they are seeking, what they have used the most, and what is new on the horizon.

Finding the right talent for your organization can be a challenge. At Carter Consulting HR, we leverage our expertise and partner with specialized recruiting firms to connect you with the best candidates for your unique needs. Strategic Recruitment Support: Collaborating with top-tier recruiting firms to ensure a seamless and efficient hiring process. Tailored Talent Searches: Identifying candidates who align with your company’s culture, values, and technical requirements. End-to-End Guidance: Providing support throughout the hiring journey, from job description creation to onboarding strategies. Let us simplify the recruitment process and help you secure the right person for the role, so you can focus on driving your business forward.

Keep in mind that supervisory skills aren't magically acquired with the title. Newly hired or promoted supervisors require training on how to be a supervisor, including their legal responsibilities. A review of your current supervisors may find that they, too, require more training beyond California's mandatory sexual harassment training.

Learning how to make the mental transition from employee to management is critical to a supervisor's success. Investing in training for your employees results in a gain for your company because you'll end up with more knowledgeable and productive employees.

Human Resources Representatives are always known to be “a people person”, that’s a small sliver of who I am but I love meeting other business owners and those passionate about their employees or the field of HR! Book me to speak on a topic I am passionate and knowledgable about- it’s all about networking, making connections and learning through others. People impact me just as much as I hope to impact yours!

Here are the most common options available for businesses without a dedicated HR representative, designed for those who need 5–25 hours of HR support per month. By paying a flat fee, you can allocate these hours as needed to fit your specific requirements.

For example, services could include running payroll, drafting new policies, assisting with ongoing projects, supporting recruitment and hiring efforts, or providing an "HR Hotline" for real-time guidance and support.
