Marketplace FAQ
BBBS Agency FAQs – Choosing Your Service Option
Fractional HR solutions for nonprofit employers. The only provider that integrates experienced HR professionals and seasoned employment lawyers — in every engagement, from day one.
What are the four options?
The Firm offers 4 marketplace fixed-fee options for BBBS agencies:
- the Workplace Essentials Program (five foundational services, bundled and significantly discounted);
- A la Carte (select and build what you need from one or more of 19 service options);
- the HR Function Outsourcing Program (outsourcing of HR function operation, oversight, and risk management); and
- Do It Yourself HR (templates, and toolkits — including notices, policies, sample letters, flow charts — that you implement plus monthly and quarterly employment news updates at a significant discount).
How do I know which option is right for my agency?
If you need help with a specific one or a few projects or issues — a handbook, an audit, a toolkit — the A la Carte menu lets you select exactly those services at BBBS-discounted fixed fees.
If you want the core HR structure and employment law protection all employers need for one fixed monthly fee, the Workplace Essentials Program bundles the five foundational services at a further discount.
If your agency needs to elevate and expand its current HR function — with day-to-day support across recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, compliance, benefits, and reporting — the HR Function Outsourcing Program provides that, along with immediate access to both an HR professional and an employment lawyer.
If you want to implement best practices on the major HR issues and receive state and local specific updates, the Do It Yourself program is for your Agency.
What is included in the Workplace Essentials Program?
Five foundational services over a twelve-month period: the Employment Counsel On-Call Triage Service, the HR On-Duty Service, the Core Handbook Service, the Diagnostic Compliance Audit of Employment Practices, and the Employment Law Compliance and HR Risk Management Templates, Toolkits, and Updates.
See the Workplace Essentials Program page for full details.
Can you provide a broader summary of the A la Carte options?
Proceeding A la Carte allows you to select precisely what your agency needs. There are 19 defined proactive risk management services, or we can build another or more tailored menu to meet your team's priorities.
The 19 defined services include: Virtual In-House Employment Counsel level of protection via email and phone with no cap on utilization; Employee Handbook Preparation and Updating Service; Employment Law Compliance state specific Hot Topics Resource document, monthly Employment Law Report with quarterly updates; various compliance, training and education programs; a comprehensive attorney guided or self-audit of employment practices and more.
What does the HR Function Outsourcing Program add?
The HR Function Outsourcing Program adds hands on support and covers the operation of the HR function itself — including recruiting and onboarding support, employee relations, compliance and employment law, benefits administration, policy and handbook support, training coordination, HRIS and reporting — plus immediate access to an HR professional and employment lawyer with no cap on utilization.
What does the Do It Yourself Program provide?
The Do It Yourself HR Program gives you the tools you need to implement best practices for compliance with Sexual Harassment, Reasonable Accommodation, Pregnancy Non-Discrimination, Protecting Personnel Information, Onboarding, and Employment Termination.
Plus, you receive a State-Specific Hot Topics Resource Document, quarterly email updates on federal, state and local law changes and landmark court decisions and the Firm's monthly Employment Law Corner Report.
