Estimate the hours and dollars an in-house HR team reclaims per investigation cycle.
Drag the sliders to match team size and case volume. The calculator applies the same benchmarks Corestride ER's method is built against — 8 hrs saved per investigation cycle and a $75/hr blended HR rate — so the figure update with the case load, not against it.
Calculator
Two inputs. Five reactive figures.
Hours saved, dollar value, and per-seat impact — every output is a pure function of the team size and case-volume inputs. The math is the same across the HR-shop range: from a solo HR Pro handling investigations through a multi-seat HR Team running jurisdiction-aware compliance reviews.
In-house HR pros responsible for ER + investigations on this team.
Investigations + compliance reviews + ER coaching the team processes annually.

Time saved per investigation cycle by consolidating intake → dossier → draft → export into a single HR record.
Mid-band in-house HR generalist + manager review; not a guaranteed rate — actual $/investigation varies by matter.
$/year = HOURS_PER_CASE × BLENDED_RATE × casesPerYear; $/HR-seat = $/year ÷ team size.
Drafts are starting points for HR review. Severance and release language routes through employment counsel before sending — see the People's Approach on the methodology page.

Open a case against the method, walk a draft through HR review, then pick the tier that fits. The first case is on us.
Drafts are starting points for HR review. Severance and release language route through employment counsel; protected-class framing and FMLA-adjacent context get a second reviewer before any employment action. The People's Approach lives in the workspace — see the methodology page for the end-to-end method.
