What is an HR Consultant invoice?

An HR consultant invoice covers human resources advisory and outsourced HR management services for organisations that do not have a full-time HR function. Services include HR audits, employment contract and handbook writing, disciplinary and grievance support, recruitment consulting, performance management, redundancy management, TUPE guidance, and ongoing HR advisory retainers. CIPD qualification (Level 5 or Level 7) is the professional standard. HR consultants must remain current with employment law changes and are effectively providing legal guidance adjacent to actual employment law advice. Clear limitation of liability clauses are important. Monthly HR retainers are the most common model for small business clients.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HR consulting and employment law advice?
HR consultants advise on people management, process, and best practice. Employment law advice is a reserved legal activity. Make clear in your terms that you provide HR guidance, not legal advice, and recommend clients consult a solicitor for high-risk employment law matters.
How do I price an HR retainer?
Price by number of employees: £200-£400/month for 1-10 employees; £400-£800 for 10-25 employees; higher for larger organisations. Define the included service hours and what triggers an out-of-scope charge.
Should I charge for employee handbook creation?
Yes. Employee handbooks are a significant time investment. Invoice as a fixed project with a defined scope (number of policies included, number of revision rounds).
How do I invoice for redundancy support?
Redundancy projects have a defined scope and should be invoiced as a fixed project fee, or on an hourly basis for ongoing support. This is often emotionally charged work; sensitive and professional handling is essential.
Is HR consulting subject to VAT?
Yes. HR consulting services are subject to 20% VAT for registered businesses.
