The Better Solution for Today’s HR Challenges

“If you think it’s too expensive to hire a professional, wait until you hire an amateur.” – Red Adair

Whose advice do you trust when faced with a decision that will impact your greatest asset – your workforce? Typical employment law firms can help you navigate a lawsuit but not complex and ongoing HR management. Typical consulting firms are notorious for promising top-level service during the sales pitch but then assigning a junior representative to your account. Typical in-house HR teams leave you reliant on the manager’s limited scope of knowledge and experience.

You deserve better.

At CLS, you receive premium, affordable, and comprehensive HR services and guaranteed access to a long-established HR Pro – protecting you against the risk of being sued (and losing), improving your company culture, and helping you become more profitable. Backed by more credentials & experience than 99% of ‘typical’ options, CLS delivers the dynamic HR solutions you need to thrive in a competitive landscape.

Why choose California Labor Solutions?
