About Us
Beth O'Neill
I have been a member of a corporate HR team since 2011, in a company that has grown from 2,300 team members to a population of 5,000 team members, and I have expertise in payroll, benefits, and leave management in a multi-state environment. I have experience with HR laws and regulations in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, and Pennsylvania. I live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have taken Certified Employee Benefits Specialist (CEBS) classes, and I am in the process of gaining a multi-state Certified Leave Management Specialist (CLMS) designation through the Disability Management Employer Coalition.

Do you know your record retention requirements? Do you conduct sexual harrassment training sessions for your employees and supervisors? Contact me for a brief consultation regarding your HR requirements for your business in California. I will help you prevent employment dispute lawsuits.
Help for Medium to Large Employers in California
If you have 50 or more employees, there are more legal requirements to follow than Small Businesses. You have all of the same legal responsibilities as a small business, as well as responsibilities under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA also known as ACA or Obamacare) and Federal Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Contact me for a policy and handbook review.
