FAQs About AskHR

  • You'll receive up to three hours per month of support with your AskHR subscription.

  • While we’re here to support you with anything under the People & Culture umbrella, our most commonly asked questions revolve around employee performance and terminations and navigating changes in employment standards to stay up to date. We’re experts at supporting you through the basics to the very complex or simply lending an ear. Ask us anything!

    Some common questions:

    • My employee hasn't shown up for a number of shifts. Can I terminate them and what is the process to do so?

    • My employee is harassing another team member. Can I terminate them today?

    • One of my employees is struggling with mental health and is feeling unsupported. Where do I start?

    • One of my employees has been on leave and is ready to come back to work. What are the implications given that her role no longer exists?

    • How do I coach an under-performing team member?

    • We're experiencing an increase in employee theft. What should I do?

    • Employment standards in my province have mandated a new policy. Can you create this for me?

  • Hiring a full-time in-house HR professional or retaining the services of a lawyer will cost you tens of thousands of dollars each year. While you may need the services of a lawyer from time to time to handle especially complex situations, most HR questions are routine and well within the scope of our team’s expertise and experience. Beacon HR services will save you time and money in the long run while providing you with sound advice, reducing risk and setting you up for success.

  • We service all of Canada, from Coast to Coast.

  • Yes! We’ve grown through word of mouth and really appreciate your referrals. Ask us about our 5% referral bonus.

  • You’ll have access to the AskHR team, and not necessarily one dedicated point of contact. Our AskHR team treats each issue as a ‘case’ and refers to documentation from previous calls. When you’re ready for your first dedicated fractional team member, our Fractional HR service may be the better fit. This service starts at 25 hours per month of support.

  • Pay easily through credit card. We offer month to month or annual billing.

  • We will respond to your question within 24 business hours. Our regular working hours are 6:00 am - 6:00 pm Pacific Time, Monday through Friday.
