THREE WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Work with Sarah

Three common engagements — all with the same calm pace, the same private portal, and the same promise to translate every policy before you adopt it.

01 · Fractional engagement

Fractional Head of People

The core of Sarah’s practice. Most founders arrive between 15 and 50 employees, holding a Notion doc that calls itself a handbook, and unsure if they’re classifying contractors right. Sarah’s job is to make sure they are.

Two days/week embedded with the founders, weekly office hours
Compensation bands & leveling matrix maintained quarterly
Hiring loops, interviewer training, debrief calibration
Performance reviews, comp letters, and PIPs when they happen
On-call for the messy people stuff — tracked in your portal

02 · Compliance sprint

People Audit & Compliance

Headcount grew, paperwork didn’t. Sarah runs a 4-week sprint to map your current state, fix the cracks, and hand you a written remediation plan you can show a board, a CFO, or an EDD examiner.

Employee vs. contractor classification audit (FLSA + state)
Multi-state employment setup — CA, NY, WA, TX, MA defaults
I-9, E-Verify, and required state notice cleanup
Payroll, PTO, and benefits structure review

4 weeks, fixed scope $22k flat · written memo

03 · Build sprint

Handbook & Onboarding Build

Not ready for a full fractional engagement? Sarah runs 6-week handbook + onboarding builds for founders crossing the 10-employee mark. You leave with documents your engineers will actually read.

A handbook drafted in your voice — not lawyer boilerplate
Day-1 packet: laptop, accounts, intros, first-week reading list
30/60/90 onboarding template — role × team agnostic
A Meridian portal seat to track each new hire’s ramp
