HR Consultant for Kansas City Small Businesses
HR Solutions On-Call is an HR consulting firm based in Lee’s Summit, Missouri that serves as the outsourced HR department for Kansas City-area small businesses. Owners get 24/7 phone and email access to veteran HR professionals, plus policy manuals, hiring and firing guidance, investigations and training, starting at $499/month.
Where is HR Solutions On-Call located?
Our office is at 210 SW Market St, #101, Lee's Summit, MO 64063, in the Kansas City metro. We work with employers across the metro — including Lee’s Summit, Kansas City, Independence, Blue Springs, Overland Park and Olathe — and with organizations across the US remotely by phone, email and video.
Does my small business need an HR consultant?
If you have employees but no dedicated HR person, the answer is usually yes. Common warning signs: no up-to-date employee handbook, job descriptions that don’t match the work, inconsistent discipline, a termination you’re nervous about, or a complaint you aren’t sure how to investigate. A consultant fixes the foundation and is there when something goes wrong.
How much does an HR consultant cost in Kansas City?
Our pricing is published:

What does outsourced HR include?
Hiring and termination guidance, activity-based job descriptions, performance appraisals, wage & salary plans, policy manuals, investigations, help with EEOC, DOL, unemployment and workers’ comp claims, and training such as sexual harassment prevention and management training.
Why not just hire an HR manager?
A full-time HR manager is a large fixed cost for a small business. Our subscription gives you a team led by Dr. Steve Cohen (40+ years in HR) for a predictable monthly fee, available day or night, with no recruiting or turnover risk.
