►Hourly Contracts for consultation, training & technical assistance --
Hourly consultation contracts are available. Generally, an hourly contract is the same as above, with a 'pay by the hour' structure. Clients that use this method may need to speak with a consultant on an infrequent basis - but prefer to maintain the contract so that they can reach a consultant quickly for important technical assistance. There is no minimum balance requirement, however technical assistance cannot begin without a signed contract. Hourly Clients can Call, Fax, or Email their 'emergency' technical assistance questions for priority assistance.

►ComplianceWatch® Contracts for consultation/training/technical assistance - After establishing a consultation relationship, organizations who place a high priority on using the best practices in human resource management and on compliance with wage and hour and EEO laws and requirements may be offered a ComplianceWatch® contract. A ComplianceWatch®  contract requires an annual retainer type payment with hours of service billed against the annual fee with a 20% discount over our standard hourly rates. The ComplianceWatch® contract enables a closer working relationship and provides the time for regular management and staff training, compliance reviews, policy/handbook review and writing and managing the employment process, including managing difficult employees. The ComplianceWatch®  contract is ideal for  employers who may want to augment their human resource function with technical information from our consultants. It is also ideal for organizations paying commensurate wages and holding an FLSA Section 14( c) Special Minimum Wage Certificate where regular reviews of time studies and hourly ratings are needed, annual reviews of prevailing rate surveys, and biannual reviews of the certificate renewal application before submission to the USDOL certification office. ComplianceWatch® Clients can Call, Fax, or Email their 'emergency' technical assistance questions for top priority assistance.                    

►Association Presenters, Training Sessions & In-House Customized Training --
MKAI consultants regularly present conferences to employer and other types of associations, including local chapter meetings of SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, and IPMA.  MKAI is an approved training provider by HRCI, the Human Resource Certification Institute, a division of SHRM, responsible for recertification of HRM professionals who have earned the PHR, SPHR, and GPHR certifications. Providing training at your association is the quickest and most economical way to get current compliance and authoritative technical information to your members. The combination of enforcement experience with the federal agencies and the consultation and training experienced of our presenters is unmatched by other trainers. Attendees consistently rate our associational training as the very best they have had. Fees are per attendee, with a minimum attendee number, depending on the length of the conference, travel expenses, and materials furnished. Associational attendee fees are about one-half our public conference rates which allow associations to generate significant revenue from the conference. All training conferences include a bound detailed manual with resources. For more information, call our office or complete the web form.
