Live HR Workshops for Small-Business Owners

The Four Classes

Each class. One topic. End-to-end.

Every class stands on its own. No prerequisites. Take what you need. Skip what you don't.

Hiring, Classification & Onboarding

The hiring playbook for small-business owners.

$197

2 hours · live

Compliant job postings — pay-transparency laws, age-neutral language, multi-state traps
Interview questions — 100+ banned, safe alternatives, standardized scoring rubrics
Background checks — FCRA compliance, ban-the-box laws and how to check your own state and city, adverse action procedures
Drug testing — pre-employment, random, post-incident, and the marijuana-protection laws now on the books in many states
1099 vs. W-2 — the ABC test, the common-law test, and how to find which one your state applies
Exempt vs. non-exempt classification (the duties test, in plain English)
I-9 compliance and the 3-business-day rule
Day-one onboarding documents and the 90-day documentation cadence

Live Q&A: Bring your open roles, candidate scenarios, and current contractor relationships. We'll work through them together.

Compliance, Leave Laws & Arbitration

The compliance scaffolding most owners are missing.

$197

2 hours · live

Federal leave — FMLA basics, ADA accommodation framework, the interactive process
State leave overlays — paid sick leave, paid family leave, jury, military and voting time, and how to find your state's version
Building one leave policy that satisfies federal and your state at the same time
Multi-state teams — whose leave law applies when your employees are spread across states
Arbitration agreements — when they hold up, when they don't, and the state-by-state enforceability traps
Required state postings (and where to get them free)
Mandatory harassment-training laws — which states require it, and the ones with no headcount minimum
Employee handbook essentials — what to include, what gets you sued

Live Q&A: Bring your leave situations, arbitration questions, and policy gaps. Real cases get real answers.

Wages, Tips, Bonuses & Pay Decisions

The wage trap that costs owners 5 figures.

$197

Tip laws — recent DOL changes, the 80/20 rule, manager-in-tip-pool prohibition
State tip overlays and tipped employee protections
Bonuses — discretionary vs. non-discretionary, regular rate calculations
Sign-on bonuses and clawback enforceability per state
Raises, salary decreases, FT/PT reclassification — how to communicate without exposure
Offer letters vs. employment contracts — when you need which, and why
Off-the-clock work, meal breaks, on-call time, travel time, training time
Final pay timing per state — the rule that catches most owners

Live Q&A: Bring your real pay structures, bonus plans, and reclassification questions. We'll pressure-test them live.

Harassment, Investigations, Title VII & Termination

The most legally consequential class. The first 24 hours decide the lawsuit.

$247

3 hours · live

Title VII coverage plus state overlays — and how to find your state's fair-employment law
The first 24 hours of a complaint — the moment that decides the lawsuit
Investigation framework — intake, witness interviews, documentation, outcome communication

Pre-termination audit checklist (12 things to verify before any meeting)
Termination meeting scripts — performance, immediate-cause, role elimination
Separation agreements — what's enforceable, what's not, what to never include
Self-audit framework for ongoing protection

Live Q&A with real case walkthroughs: Bring real situations from your business — past, present, or hypothetical. This class runs longer specifically to leave room for them.

Live vs. on-demand

The framework you can watch. The judgment you can't.

Recordings teach the framework. Live solves the situation.

Our On-Demand Library teaches you the frameworks on your own schedule, from any state — and that’s genuinely useful. But the moments that actually cost owners money aren’t framework moments.

They're situation moments. A complaint just came in. A worker's classification just got challenged. A termination just got messy. In those moments, you don't need a definition. You need someone who's been there.

Live workshops let you bring your real situations into the room and walk out with a real path forward. That's what AI cannot replicate. Pattern recognition from 500+ real cases. Reading the nuance of a specific situation. Hearing other owners' similar challenges and learning from them too.

That's why every class is live. Every class has Q&A. Every class has the room to handle the situation you brought in with you.

Honest Self-Check

Who this is for.

These workshops are sharply focused. Here's whether they fit.

This is for you if…

You own a business with 1–50 employees, in any state
You want answers to your specific situations, not generic theory
You're concerned about compliance but don't know what you're missing
You'd rather prevent a $50K mistake than litigate one
You want to learn alongside other owners facing the same challenges
You value live expertise over pre-recorded videos

This isn't for you if…

You already have an in-house HR team or fractional CHRO
You want a generic, fill-in-the-blank course (this is built around your real questions)
You're in active employment litigation — call an attorney first
You want one-on-one help with your specific company (that's the retainer, not a workshop)
You're looking for a lawyer, not HR guidance
You're looking for legal advice (this is education — different lane)

From Colleagues & Reports

Jennifer Mueller

Chief Operating Officer, Resort Lifestyle Communities

"Her flexibility to move from operations, to Employee Relations, to tax and state laws, is a truly remarkable ability. Meghan is extremely approachable — making any Open Door Policy truly work."

Common Questions

Before you enroll.

I’m not in NJ, NY, or PA — is this still for me?

Yes. Every class teaches the federal framework that applies everywhere, plus how to find and handle your state’s overlays — and the live Q&A works through your state’s specifics case by case.

Why no free webinar or trial class?

Live time is the most valuable thing about these workshops. We don't give it away. The Penny case study (free, on the homepage) and the 90-second risk quiz are designed to help you decide whether the curriculum fits your situation before you spend a dollar.

What if I miss a class I bought?

Every class is recorded and posted within 24 hours. Bundle buyers can also attend any future cycle of the same class within 12 months — so missing one date doesn't mean missing the class. Single-class buyers get the recording and the workbook.

Can I take just one class, or do I have to do all four?

Single classes are $197 each ($247 for Class 4). Each class is built to stand on its own — no prerequisites. Most owners start with the class that addresses their most pressing concern and add others later.

How big are the classes?

Capped at 30 attendees. Larger classes can't sustain real Q&A — and Q&A is the entire point. Once a class hits cap, you go on the waitlist for the next cycle (which is no more than 8 weeks away).

Is this a substitute for a lawyer?

No. This is HR education, not legal advice. When you need legal counsel — especially during active investigations or pending litigation — we'll tell you, and we have a network of employment attorneys to refer to. The workshops are designed to help you avoid the situations that need lawyers in the first place.

Refund policy?

Live workshops: full refund up to 48 hours before the session. Inside 48 hours, no refund — but you can transfer your seat to any future cycle of the same class. Class recordings and workbooks remain accessible regardless. Digital products are delivered instantly, so all sales on those are final.

Can I get an invoice for my bookkeeping?

Yes. Stripe automatically generates a receipt at checkout. For a custom invoice, email meghan@luman-group.com and one will be issued same-day.

Real situations. Real Q&A. Real expertise.

Each class. One topic. End-to-end.
