Once a month, we have a team lunch in the payroll office and order takeout from one of our terrific local restaurant clients. This month was At Long Last! Check them out when you're in Auburn!

Thanks for the great meal!

Did you know HR One works with towns, villages, and other public-sector employers across New York?

We help municipalities review their HR practices, update employee handbooks and policies, train supervisors, navigate employee issues, improve recruiting, and access ongoing HR guidance.

With many municipalities now preparing their 2027 budgets, this is also a good time to consider a Municipal HR Audit. The audit can help identify HR priorities and potential expenses before you finalize next year’s budget.

If your NYS town or village could benefit from practical, experienced HR support, let’s start a conversation.

Would you rather identify a workplace safety issue during a voluntary consultation or after an accident or OSHA inspection?

The New York State Department of Labor offers a FREE AND CONFIDENTIAL On-Site Consultation Program for eligible small and medium-sized employers engaged in high-hazard industries or activities.

Most importantly, this is a consultation, NOT an enforcement inspection. The program is separate from OSHA enforcement, and consultants do not issue citations or fines when they identify a safety or health violation. Instead, employers receive guidance and an opportunity to correct identified hazards. Employers must agree to correct serious hazards within established timeframes. A referral to enforcement may occur if a serious hazard is not corrected as agreed or employees are not protected from an imminent danger.

The consultation can help employers:
• Identify potential workplace hazards
• Review OSHA-required programs and injury records
• Evaluate safety policies and workplace practices
• Assess exposure to noise, air contaminants, and other hazards
• Determine where additional safety training may be needed

A strong safety program is more than a policy sitting in a binder. This program gives eligible employers an opportunity to find and address concerns before they lead to an injury, complaint, inspection, or costly violation.

Learn more and request a consultation through the NYS Department of Labor.

A free resource for businesses to assist with safety and health consultation and training.

When was the last time you reviewed your employee handbook?

Employment requirements change. Workplace practices evolve. Your organization grows. If your handbook hasn’t kept pace, it may no longer provide the guidance your employees and supervisors need.

HR One recently updated our employee handbook template. Whether your current handbook needs a refresh or your organization is ready to put one in place, now is a good time to take a closer look.

Contact HR One to learn how we can help you build a handbook that reflects your workplace today.
