HR on Call+ gives you ongoing access to a senior HR advisor who knows your business, so you can make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and deal with issues before they grow, all for a predictable monthly fee.

Ideal for businesses that:

  • Want to discuss situations before they become bigger problems
  • Need practical HR guidance without hiring internal HR
  • Want ongoing access to HR expertise
  • Prefer having a trusted HR advisor who already knows their business
  • Regularly have employee or manager questions

Your HR support is provided by Sienna HR, from the team behind ConnectsUs HR. For 20 years and over 10,000 users, ConnectsUs has supported Canadian small businesses with practical HR tools and services.

You may already know us through the original ConnectsUs HR On Call program that was included with HR Complete. Sienna HR builds on that experience with an expanded HR On Call+ service that includes advice, templates and hands-on HR support.

You’ll be supported by seasoned HR advisors with at least 15 years in the field, providing practical HR support to businesses in BC, AB, SK, MB and ON.

We support employers in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario.

HR On Call+ is designed for brief, practical HR advice that can reasonably be provided within approximately 15 minutes per individual issue.

You can contact us about matters such as:

  • Accommodations
  • Employee performance and conduct
  • Attendance and absenteeism
  • Vacation and leaves
  • Hiring and onboarding
  • Discipline
  • Terminations
  • Employment standards
  • Workplace concerns
  • Day-to-day employee relations

Email Inquiries

  • Our hours of operation are Mon-Fri 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM ET.
  • We aim to respond within 4 business hours, and usually sooner, when your inquiry is received before 1:00 PM ET.
  • We often respond outside our regular hours and, when possible, on weekends.

Call Back

We reserve time each business day for HR On Call+ clients. Calls can be scheduled between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM ET, excluding office closures.

Why do I need to schedule a call instead of calling in?

Because we don’t run a call centre.

There are 24/7 HR hotlines that can offer near-instant access for very little money. That model usually depends on high call volumes, scripted responses and turning support calls into opportunities to sell additional services.

That’s not what we do.

Experienced HR professionals generally don’t spend their days waiting in a call queue. Our advisors are working HR professionals with at least 15 years of experience. We reserve dedicated time for HR On Call+ clients so you can speak directly with someone qualified to understand the issue, ask the right questions and give you practical advice.

Your call is the service. It isn’t the start of a sales pitch. 

We’ll tell you before doing the work.

Additional HR services are available directly from Sienna HR at preferred client rates.

There is no obligation to purchase additional services.

HR On Call+ is available to one designated individual per business.

When you enroll, you’ll identify the person who will use the service and provide their unique email address. Only that registered account holder can contact us for HR On Call+ support.

This helps ensure that management, or someone authorized to represent management, is aware of the HR issues being discussed and the advice being provided.

It also avoids conflicts where another employee might contact us independently for advice about a dispute or issue involving management or the business itself.

Sienna HR provides a no-marketing hassle guarantee. We won’t contact you with sales calls, marketing emails or pressure you to purchase additional services. If you need help beyond what’s included, we’ll explain your options and costs, and you decide whether you want to proceed.

The only regular communication you’ll receive is our Monthly Workplace Recap, featuring legislation updates, HR news and our Case Law Round Up.

Real calls. Real clients. Their words.

“Having HR on Call available whenever we need them has been like having an experienced HR department on call without the overhead of hiring one.

What we appreciate most is their responsiveness. When an employee issue arises, we know we can reach out and receive thoughtful, timely advice that helps us move forward quickly. They’ve gone above and beyond for us on many occasions, and it’s reassuring to know we always have an experienced HR partner we can count on.”
