SESCO’s professional staff, field consultants and in-house employment attorneys are dedicated to providing CATA members with timely, practical human resource consulting services and information dealers need to effectively compete in today’s marketplace.

CATA members receive the following services through SESCO’s Certified consulting and legal staff:

HR Systems and Practices Hotline — Discuss terminations and disciplinary matters, collective bargaining agreements, Federal and State employment regulations, difficult people matters and all other HR Systems and Practices. The hotline is designed to assist management with their initial needs; further support or representation may warrant a quoted fee/billable project, which will be discussed with the member for consideration and approval.

Should revisions need to be made and you request SESCO to do so, the $350.00 fee will be credited back to your approved quoted fee.
