Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s what employers often ask about our HR membership:

Can I add HR Advice to an existing membership? Yes, you can either add HR Advice to your current Business Canterbury membership or bundle it with another service-focused membership for a discounted rate.
What types of issues can I call the Adviceline about? Our HR Adviceline supports a wide range of queries - from employment agreements and performance concerns to leave entitlements, restructures, disciplinary processes and more.
Is the HR Health Check customised to my business? Absolutely. We assess your current HR practices and provide a tailored report with recommendations to strengthen your compliance and systems.
How often are the check-ins and what’s covered? You’ll receive quarterly check-ins with our HR team to review your needs, track progress, and discuss any emerging HR or employment relations issues.
What’s the difference between HR Advice and HR Premium? HR Premium offers unlimited Adviceline calls, more consultancy time, and the same great tools and support - ideal for businesses with more complex or ongoing needs.
Can I try this membership before committing? We’re happy to talk through your needs first. While we don’t offer a trial, we can guide you through the features and help determine if HR Advice is the right fit.
