Why Franchisees Rely on Us

Focus on Growing Your Business With Confidence. We’ve Got the Compliance.

Becoming a business owner and becoming an employer are two different jobs. We support you on the second. Hiring, terminations, wage and hour, HR documentation and rapidly changing employment regulations can carry real risk without HR and employment law compliance support at your fingertips.

What Franchisees Say

★★★★★

“myHRcounsel is an invaluable tool. When I’m looking to understand the legality or risks of potential HR actions, it is reassuring to know that I can rely on this legal team for guidance. Just like their website stated, I received responses within 2 hours, and those responses provided clear explanations I could act on.”

If your question falls within the scope of HR and employment law, we can help.
What HR documents can myHRcounsel review or create for my business?

This includes offer letters, employment agreements, termination letters, performance improvement plans, disciplinary forms, separation agreements, required workplace notices, job descriptions, non-solicitation agreements, and more.
What is included in the employee handbook?
Your handbook is built to reflect federal requirements and the employment laws in your operating states. It covers the core policies every employer needs: at-will employment, EEO, harassment and discrimination, leave policies, wage and hour, and more. As employment laws change, we can update your handbook to keep it current. You receive it within 7 to 10 business days of completing the handbook questionnaire.
How quickly will I hear back from an attorney?
myHRcounsel guarantees a response within 2 hours during business hours. Most responses come faster. You submit questions through the portal, and a licensed employment attorney responds directly.
I operate multiple locations. Does one subscription cover all of them?
Coverage is structured per location, with one flat monthly fee for each location and volume discounts for multi-unit owners. You will see full pricing on the sign-up page. The best way to understand the right structure for your portfolio is to schedule a demo or reach out at info@myhrcounsel.com.
Do I have to belong to a specific franchise brand?
No. Any franchisee can subscribe directly, whether or not your brand has a program in place. If you operate an entire brand or a large multi-unit portfolio, see our solutions for franchisors.
How do I get started?
Sign up at our sign-up page or schedule a demo if you would like to see the platform first. We provision your portal access within one business day, and your handbook is delivered within 7 to 10 days of completing the handbook questionnaire. From there, you can start submitting questions to an employment attorney any time.
