Flexible HR Expertise, Without the Overheads

Get expert HR support without the cost of a full-time HR department. Our fractional HR services give your business ongoing access to qualified HR advisors, so you stay compliant, protect your people, and free up time to focus on running the business.
Whether you need help on an ad hoc basis or want a dedicated advisor working with you month to month, we build a package around what your business actually needs, not a fixed template.

What Is Fractional HR Support?

Fractional HR means you get access to senior HR expertise on a part-time or as-needed basis, rather than hiring a full-time HR manager. It's a practical option for small and medium-sized businesses that need reliable HR guidance but don't have the volume of work (or budget) to justify an in-house hire.
With Fig HR, that support scales with you. Start with pay as you go cover for one-off issues, then move to a retainer as your team grows and your HR needs become more regular.

How Our HR Support Packages Work

Pay As You Go
For businesses that need HR advice on an ad hoc basis without committing to a monthly contract. You pay an hourly rate only when you need us, making this a good starting point if you're not yet sure how much support you'll need.

What’s included

Hourly rate from £135
No contract or minimum commitment
Ideal for one-off queries, single cases, or occasional cover
Proposal issued following an initial Discovery Call - email us at flex@fig-hr.com

Monthly Retainer Support

Our most popular option for businesses that want consistent, proactive HR support built into how they operate. Every retainer is tailored following a Discovery Call, and includes a package built around your needs.

Here are some of the highlights:

Offers of employment and contracts of employment
Best practice handbook and policy updates
Initial HR audit reviewing all documentation for compliance
Monthly employment law newsletter covering legislative changes
There's no fixed package here. We scope your retainer around your business size, sector, and current HR maturity, and there's no tie-in contract.
£135 per hour or £850 day rate

Why Choose Fractional HR Over an In-House Hire?

Cost-effective: access senior-level HR expertise without a full-time salary, National Insurance, and benefits costs
Compliance confidence: employment law changes frequently, and our team keeps your documentation and processes current
Scalable: start small and increase support as your headcount or risk exposure grows
No recruitment risk: no need to hire, train, or manage HR staff turnover yourself

Is Fractional HR Right for Your Business?

This service is built for businesses typically employing between 5 and 100 people that don't have an in-house HR manager, or have outgrown the HR support they currently have in place. It works well if any of the following sound familiar:
You're relying on a mix of templates, guesswork, and Google searches to handle contracts and policies
You've had a recent employee relations issue and realised you don't have proper processes in place
Your business is growing quickly and HR has become a bigger risk than it used to be
You've outgrown a bookkeeper or accountant handling HR as a side task
You want proactive compliance support rather than only reacting when something goes wrong
If you're dealing with an active, complex case right now, our Investigations, Disciplinaries & Grievances service may be a better starting point, with retainer support picked up afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fractional HR support cost?

Pay as you go starts from £135 per hour. Monthly retainer pricing is tailored to your business following a free Discovery Call, so you only pay for the level of support you actually need.

What's included in the initial HR audit?

We review your existing HR documentation, contracts, handbooks, and policies against current employment law to flag any gaps or compliance risks before your retainer support begins.

Can I change my package as my business grows?

Yes, packages are reviewed and adjusted as your needs change, so you're never paying for more support than you need.
