Why this exists.
The problem I saw
When I started cleaning up HR compliance across multiple companies, I needed templates and procedures fast. What I found was either generic content written for any business in any state — and therefore useful for none — or expensive consulting engagements that built one document at a time. Neither approach worked for businesses moving quickly.
The realization
California's employment law is unusually specific. Generic templates don't account for our state's overtime rules, meal and rest period requirements, paid sick leave structures, anti-retaliation provisions, or the dozens of nuances that make California different from anywhere else. Small businesses in California are essentially flying blind unless they hire a $400-an-hour attorney or buy a generic template library that misses what matters.
What I built
MHR Products is the resource I wish I'd had. State-by-state compliance, starting with California — HR templates organized by company size, kept current as laws change, with the context to explain why each document matters, not just how to fill it out.
Why now, why this way
Most HR tools are built for large companies with full HR departments. MHR Products is for the operator handling HR alongside everything else: the office manager who got pulled into compliance, the founder doing it themselves, the small HR team without legal counsel on speed dial. The people I built this for are the people I worked alongside.
