About Anchor Point
Founded by HR directors who left the corporate side
Anchor Point started in 2014 when two HR directors realized the companies most likely to make an expensive mistake were the ones too small to hire them full time. We support about 130 employers across the Carolinas, mostly between 10 and 200 people. We are practical, we document, and we tell you when a question needs an employment lawyer instead of us.
•A named consultant, not a call center queue
•State specific policy work for NC and SC employers
•We refer to employment counsel rather than guess at legal advice
Reviews
What client companies say
“Their audit found eleven employees misclassified as exempt. Fixing it cost us far less than a Department of Labor visit would have.”
Angela D., CFO, 90 person company
“We had to terminate a manager with a messy history. They walked us through documentation, the conversation and the day after.”
Ross T., Founder, services firm
“Our handbook actually reads like our company instead of a template someone bought online.”
Kim H., Operations director
FAQ
Questions employers ask us
At what headcount do we need HR help?
Most companies feel it around 15 to 25 employees, when managers start handling people problems without training. Certain federal obligations kick in at 15 and 50 employees, so if you are approaching either number, a compliance review is worth doing before you cross it.
Are you a PEO?
No. A PEO becomes a co employer and runs your payroll and benefits. We advise and build your internal HR function while you keep control of your own employment relationship. We work alongside PEOs regularly.
Can you give us legal advice?
No, and you should be careful with any HR consultant who says otherwise. We know the rules and where the risk sits, and we have employment attorneys we bring in when a matter needs actual legal counsel.
How fast can you help with an urgent issue?
Retainer clients get a same business day response and we will get on a call within a few hours for anything involving a termination, a threat or a safety concern. Project clients we take case by case depending on the calendar.
