Steady HR help for busy owners

HR Buttoned Up makes ready-to-use HR templates, trackers, and guides for small businesses. We write the way a steady HR person talks to a busy owner: short sentences, plain words, no alarm.

We're part of Ridge Studio LLC. Our work is for owners with 5 to 49 people who don't have an HR department and don't want to build one from scratch.

How it works

Three steps, with a finish line

You don't run a tool. You tell us about your business, and we hand back something finished.

  1. You give us the basics

    A short set of facts about your business that are easy to provide: your team, your industry, how you run things.

  2. We customize it

    We shape the deliverable to your business and your industry, so it reads like yours and not like a blank template.

  3. A person signs off

    Before custom work reaches you, a person on our team reviews it and signs off. Then it's yours to keep.

What we are not

Not a law firm. Not a PEO. Not another login.

Not a law firm

We make working HR documents for running a business. For a legal question, talk to an employment attorney.

Not a PEO

We don't take over your HR or become a co-employer. You stay in charge of your business and your people.

Not another login

No account, no app, no monthly seat. You get finished documents to keep and use.

Who it's for

Employers with 5 to 49 people

Our tools are sized for small teams: a shop, a crew, an office, a kitchen. Most industries are welcome. We don't serve healthcare employers right now, and if you have 50 or more people, we're not the right fit yet.

  • Seven tools at $199 each, paid once
  • A custom employee handbook at $599, paid once
  • An optional handbook update at $199 a year
