Stop Risking $50,000+ Compliance Penalties

The complete HR operations system that transforms HR chaos into compliance confidence—with zero guesswork and without $15,000 in consulting fees

You know your organization needs proper HR infrastructure. What you don’t have is $10,000 for a consultant, months to figure it out yourself, or the luxury of risking a compliance violation that could shut you down.

The Minor Method gives you everything a $15,000 consulting engagement would—templates, frameworks, checklists, and a step-by-step implementation plan—for less than the cost of one hour of professional HR guidance.

Does This Sound Familiar?

You’re a COO, CFO, Executive Director, or small business owner wearing the HR hat…

You're keeping employees on spreadsheets and hoping you're doing payroll correctly
You've been "meaning to create" an employee handbook for months (or years)
You Google HR compliance questions at 11 PM and get conflicting answers
You're approaching 50 employees and know the compliance requirements are about to get serious

Here’s the truth: Every day without proper HR systems is a day you’re exposed to catastrophic risk.

The Real Cost of "Figuring It Out Later"

Single EEOC complaint settlement:

$50,000 - $200,000

Wage & hour violation penalties:

$10,000 - $100,000

Wrongful termination lawsuit:

$50,000 - $200,000

OSHA safety violation:

$15,000 - $145,000 per violation

Misclassification penalties:

$5,000+ per employee

Your reputation:

Priceless (and impossible to rebuild)

And that doesn’t count attorney fees, lost productivity, or the stress of litigation.

The question isn’t whether you can afford to build proper HR infrastructure.
The question is whether you can afford NOT to.

Introducing: The Minor Method

A complete, done-for-you HR operations system designed specifically for small businesses and nonprofits with limited resources but unlimited compliance exposure.

No fluff. No theory. No generic advice you could find on Google.

Just the exact frameworks, templates, checklists, and step-by-step guidance that Dr. Jacqueline Minor has used to help hundreds of organizations build compliant, sustainable HR infrastructure over her 20+ year career.

What Makes The Minor Method Different?

Most HR resources give you one piece of the puzzle:

Books give you concepts (but no implementation tools)
Software gives you templates (but no strategy or context)
Consultants give you custom plans (but cost $10,000-$25,000)
Generic compliance checklists leave you guessing what applies to YOUR situation

The Minor Method gives you THE COMPLETE SYSTEM:

Strategic Framework - The proven methodology for building HR infrastructure that scales
Compliance Roadmap - Navigate federal, state, and local requirements without a law degree
Ready-to-Use Templates - Policies, forms, and documents you can implement immediately
Assessment Tools - Audit checklists to identify your compliance gaps TODAY
90-Day Implementation Plan - Exact steps to go from chaos to compliance in 3 months
Nonprofit-Specific Guidance - Because nonprofits face unique HR challenges
Expert Insights - 250 pages of real-world case studies and solutions from an I/O Psychology PhD

This isn’t a book. It’s your HR department in a box.

Stop Guessing. Get a Complete, State-Aware HR System You Can Implement Fast

Skip the 40+ hours of conflicting research and expensive trial-and-error. Get the same frameworks consultants use — structured, current, and ready to implement.

"But Can't I Just Google This Stuff?"

Sure. And here’s what will happen:

You'll spend 40+ hours researching
You'll find contradictory advice from random blogs
You'll wonder if the information is current or accurate
You'll miss state-specific requirements
You'll waste money implementing the wrong solutions
You'll still worry if you did it right

OR: You can get the complete, up-to-date, state-aware system from a PhD-level expert who’s done this hundreds of times—and start implementing TODAY.

Your time is worth something. How much is 40 hours of your time worth?

"I'll Just Hire a Consultant When I Need One"

Smart thinking. Except:

By the time you "need" a consultant, you're often already facing a problem
Consultants charge $150-$300/hour
A basic HR audit: $2,500-$5,000
Policy development: $3,000-$7,500
90-day implementation support: $10,000-$15,000

The Minor Method gives you the same frameworks consultants use—for a fraction of the cost.

Plus, you’ll know WHEN to bring in a consultant and how to work with them effectively (Chapter 12 covers this).

"We're Too Small to Need This"

Actually, small organizations face THE HIGHEST risk:

The smaller you are, the MORE you need systematic HR infrastructure.

"Can't I Just Use a PEO?"

PEOs can be great. They also:

The Minor Method builds YOUR capability. Use a PEO if it makes sense—but you’ll still benefit from understanding how HR actually works.

"What If I'm Not an HR Person?"

PERFECT. This system was designed for you.

Dr. Minor wrote this specifically for:

Business owners wearing the HR hat
Finance leaders managing HR compliance
Executive Directors without dedicated HR staff
Operations managers handling people issues
Anyone who "doesn't speak HR" but needs to get it right

No HR jargon. No assumptions of prior knowledge. Just clear, step-by-step guidance anyone can follow.
