A flexible way to buy HR support
Continuity changes the quality of HR advice.
When your adviser already understands your people, documents and priorities, you spend less time repeating context and more time resolving issues early.
Dekela’s rolling retainers combine predictable monthly cost with the flexibility to change support as your business evolves. Every plan is designed to give employers a dependable point of contact rather than an impersonal call centre.
This option works well for:
- Regular manager questions
- Growing teams and changing roles
- Proactive employment-law updates
- Contracts, policies and employee letters
- Ongoing employee-relations guidance
- Businesses without internal HR capacity
Simple monthly pricing

Common questions
30-Day HR Retainers questions, answered.
For advice about a live situation, speak to our team in confidence.
Is there a minimum contract period?
Dekela retainers operate on a rolling 30-day basis rather than a long-term contract, subject to the agreed terms and notice arrangements.
Can we change retainer package?
Yes. Your support level can be reviewed as headcount, workload and business needs change.
Which plan is right for us?
The right plan depends on the frequency of questions, amount of document support and how hands-on you need Dekela to be. A consultation helps match the plan to your current needs.
Are Workplace Investigations included?
Initial advice may be available within your plan, but independent investigation delivery is normally scoped separately so the work, timescale and cost are clear.
