Small Business HR Kit, built by Glenn Murphy, drawing on a career that spans Law Enforcement, Retail Management, Human Resources (HR), and Asset Protection. Across all four paths, the work came down to the same discipline: setting clear expectations, documenting consistently, and handling difficult situations calmly and professionally.
That background shapes every document in this kit. These aren’t generic templates pulled from a legal library. They’re built the way an experienced HR and Operations Manager actually documents a hiring decision, a conduct issue, or a termination, because that’s the work this comes from.
Why This Exists
Small service businesses run on trust, hard work, and doing right by customers. What they usually don’t run on is a dedicated HR department.
That gap is where problems quietly build. Not from one big mistake, but from small ones:
- A hire made without a consistent process,
- A conduct issue that didn’t get documented,
- An incident report that was too vague to hold up later,
- A termination handled in the heat of the moment instead of with a plan.
None of these are failures of character. They’re the predictable result of running a business without the systems larger companies take for granted.
Small Business HR Kit | Built to Close That Gap
With practical, plain-language HR documents that a business owner can actually use, without hiring a consultant or an attorney for every routine decision.
Where This Comes From
This kit draws on real-world experience across Law Enforcement, Retail Management, Human Resources (HR), and Asset Protection.
Four fields built entirely around the same core discipline:
- Clear expectations, consistent documentation, and calm, professional handling of difficult situations.
- That background experience shapes every document here.
These are not generic templates pulled from a legal boilerplate library. They’re built the way an experienced HR or Operations Manager would actually document a hiring decision, a conduct issue, or a termination, because that’s exactly the kind of work these documents come from.

What We Believe
Good HR practices aren’t about creating more paperwork for their own sake. They’re about protecting the business, the owner, and the employees by replacing assumptions with clarity.
A written policy that everyone understands prevents more disputes than any amount of after-the-fact explaining ever will.
We also believe small business owners deserve tools that respect their time. Every document in this kit is built to be used, not just read…clear checklists, plain language, and no unnecessary complexity.
What This Isn’t
This isn’t legal advice, and it doesn’t replace an employment attorney.
Employment law varies by state, so have a licensed employment attorney in your state review your documents before you put them to use.
What it is
A solid, practical starting point that gets your HR documentation from “nonexistent or inconsistent” to “clear, professional, and defensible.” So that on the rare occasion something goes wrong, you’re not scrambling to create records after the fact.
Our Approach
No hype. No fear-based sales tactics. Just clear, honest documents built for the way small service businesses actually operate, one practical kit at a time. See which kit fits your situation.
