Both levels of Consulting Services offer large agencies, with regular demands, all the benefits of the Subscription Services level as well as the ability to access CSSEA’s HRLR expertise on a regular basis, including collective bargaining, at a fixed cost.

Subscription Services offers smaller agencies access to CSSEA’s valuable HRLR resources like manuals, guides, templates and news updates with the flexibility of having an HRLR specialist on call at a low preferred rate.
