Cassel HR brings clear, practical human resources guidance to Pennsylvania's small businesses — HR leadership, compliance, policies, and documentation handled by people who know what it's like to run lean.
No hidden fees, no corporate jargon — just dependable HR guidance sized to fit a small business budget and calendar.
Our Approach
We start with a plain-language review of where your HR stands today, then build a practical roadmap — no unnecessary complexity, no wasted time.
Our Values
Small businesses deserve the same clarity and protection as large enterprises. Good HR should be proactive, not a scramble after something goes wrong.
Our Commitment
Every policy, handbook, and document we deliver is compliant with current Pennsylvania and federal employment law.
What We Do
HR Services Built for Small Teams
Focused services that cover the HR fundamentals small businesses need most — without the overhead of hiring a full HR department.
Fractional HR Leadership
An HR leader in your corner — without the full-time headcount.
We plug in as your ongoing HR partner — catching people problems before they become legal problems, and giving you a direct line to real answers. Available at multiple levels, from a few hours a month to a near-embedded presence.
Most owners in the 20–150 employee range have crossed compliance thresholds they don't know exist. We run a straight-talk audit — FMLA, ADA, OSHA, wage and hour, EEO — and hand you a clear list of what's exposed, urgent, and what can wait.
Documentation that actually protects you if something goes wrong.
A handbook that's never been opened doesn't help you in a lawsuit. We build or fix the policies that matter most for operations-heavy businesses — attendance, safety, at-will language, anti-harassment, drug and alcohol — written in plain English and defensible when it counts.
The moment where most owners get burned — handled right.
Bad terminations are one of the biggest hidden liabilities in your business. We help you hire smarter, document performance issues the right way, and handle discipline and separations so they hold up — protecting you and treating your people fairly.
A specific problem, solved — no retainer required.
Not ready for ongoing support? We take on one-off projects — a handbook rebuild, a compliance fire drill, an HR system setup, a sticky investigation, a tough termination. Flat rate, clear scope, in and done.
A straightforward process, start to finish — built for business owners who don't have time to manage complicated people issues.
