A membership built for small businesses, startups, mission-driven organizations, and ministries who carry every employment responsibility a large institution does, with none of the support.
See Charter Membership Reach OutWage and hour rules. At-will employment risk. The line between volunteer and employee, and what happens when it blurs. A harassment complaint that lands on your desk with no policy behind it. A termination that could go sideways without the right documentation. An unemployment claim you didn't see coming.
These are not hypotheticals. It's just Tuesday, for the person who ended up holding HR at a small organization, usually without training, without backup, and without anyone to call before a hard decision becomes an expensive or painful one.
Sela Commons exists so you are not carrying that alone.
You finally have someone to call.
Ninety minutes together each month. Members bring their real situations, and we work through them, so every member learns from every question.
Email counsel for the moments that cannot wait, including the "am I about to make a serious mistake?" moments before a termination or a hard conversation.
Handbook, hiring, termination, volunteer and employee boundaries, and conflict process, built for small organizations and refined by what members actually need.
One confidential one-to-one call per quarter for the matters that need a closed door.
When something crosses into legal, payroll, or benefits territory, we point you to specialists we trust, so you're not starting that search alone. Sela Commons provides HR guidance, not legal advice.
The monthly circle means you're learning from more than one perspective, other small-organization leaders working through the same categories of problems you are.
Kindly reach out and we will share full pricing and confirm the right fit for your organization.
Charter membership is limited to twelve organizations. Once filled, additional circles will open at standard membership rates, so every member, regardless of when they join, remains part of a small, focused group.

Sela Commons is built for small organizations, typically fifty or fewer total staff, including part-time and volunteer roles: small businesses, startups, mission-driven organizations, ministries, small health and human-services organizations, and schools, religious and secular alike.
If your organization is larger or has more complex HR needs, we will help you find the right level of support, whether that is Commons or something more tailored.
Serving small businesses, startups, mission-driven organizations, and ministries of every kind.
Let's do good work. Together.
We will hold a brief conversation to make sure Sela Commons fits your organization, share full charter pricing, and reserve your seat from there.
Sela Commons provides HR guidance and education. It does not provide legal advice, and membership does not create an attorney-client relationship.
