How a retainer works

We work alongside you and take real responsibility.

At JHG we provide full-service personnel support with the expertise, consistency and legal protection your business needs.

We take responsibility for your HR, your compliance and your labour risk in a way that is practical, reliable and built around your business. From your first hire to complex disciplinary matters and CCMA representation, your HR is properly managed, compliant and handled with care, and it keeps pace as your business evolves.
  • We implement, not just advise. Your practitioner drafts the contract, chairs the hearing and sits at the CCMA. You're never handed a memo and left to it.
  • Built around your business. Practical processes sized for how you actually operate, not textbook HR.
  • Real accountability. Dismissal processes are backed by insurance. If our process is tested, we stand behind it.
What's included

Everything a retainer covers, across the whole employment lifecycle.

Twenty-six services, grouped by the moment you'll need them. Pick a stage, or let it play.

Get the foundations right before anything goes wrong.

Most labour disputes are lost on paperwork that was never done. Stage one is where we close those gaps.

Outcome: a compliant HR file for every employee.
  • HR needs analysis
  • Strategic HR planning and structuring
  • Employment contracts
  • HR compliance audit
  • HR manual: policies and procedures
  • HR practices aligned to compliance and business needs

JHG is built for businesses that need structured, compliant HR with real accountability. If that's you, the next step takes two minutes.

Why a retainer

The same situations, handled two ways.

Most employers only call for help once something has already gone wrong. A retainer changes when we get involved.

Situation
Without a retainer
With a JHG retainer
A manager wants to dismiss someone today
Someone searches for a template, holds a quick meeting and hopes it stands up at the CCMA.
One call to your practitioner. A proper process is run, the hearing is chaired, and the dismissal is insured.
A CCMA referral arrives
Find a lawyer, brief them from scratch, pay by the hour, and discover the file has gaps.
We already hold the file. Your practitioner represents you, without briefing anyone from scratch.
The EE or WSP/ATR deadline is next week
A late scramble, a rushed submission, or a missed grant and a possible penalty.
Already tracked and filed as part of the retainer, with the grant claimed.
A new hire starts on Monday
An old contract is reused and edited in a hurry. Policies are "somewhere".
Correct contract, onboarding pack and policies issued before day one.
