Tiffany L.
Fractional HR Director | Multi-State HR Compliance
Founders and owners of small and mid-sized companies hire me when they need an HR director's judgment without the full-time salary. 12 years in HR. Master's in HR Management. Top Rated on Upwork. I've been the HR lead for healthcare, construction, agriculture, engineering, and tech companies, which means I've probably already handled the problem you're bringing me. What clients hire me for most: • Fractional HR leadership: a standing advisor to the owner or exec team on hiring, performance, terminations, pay, and compliance • Multi-state compliance, with deep experience in California (wage and hour, IIPP and Cal/OSHA safety programs, Fair Chance Act), Illinois, Washington, and Florida • Employee relations and terminations: investigations, documentation, risk assessment, and the actual conversation • HR infrastructure from scratch: handbooks, policies, onboarding, performance processes, manager toolkits • Restructuring: layoffs, RIFs, and contractor-to-employee conversions (most recently moving about 95 contractors to W-2) • Compensation frameworks and pay benchmarking How I work: direct and practical. I tell you what the risk actually is and what I would do in your position, then I build it. No HR jargon, and no 40-page deliverable when two pages will do. Typical engagements: one-hour consults, fixed-scope projects (handbook, investigation, comp framework), and monthly retainers. If you want an HR partner who has been in the room for the hard decisions, send me what you're dealing with and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
