Complete TrueStep HR System

One price for the core library. Bought separately, the kits and packs inside total over $1,600.

The Complete TrueStep HR System brings seventeen kits and four analytics packs together. They cover hiring, pay, managers, policy, sensitive HR systems, and HR metrics. The system includes individual kit Start Here guides and a Program Guide for the full set. The Program Guide connects every part of HR to the right tool and gives you a rollout order.

What is included in each area

All 96 files are numbered and organized in one folder. Start Here introduces the download, and the Program Guide maps the kits to eight areas of the HR lifecycle.

• Program Guide and Start Here. See how the system is organized, which kits belong to each area, and the recommended rollout sequence for building HR from scratch.
• Hiring and Onboarding. The Candidate Ghosting Prevention Kit, the Employee Referral Program Kit, the JD Classification and Pay Transparency Kit, and the New Hire Onboarding 30-60-90 Kit.
• Managing People and Performance. The People Manager Toolkit, the Performance Review and Calibration Toolkit, and the Training Matrix and Certification Tracker.
• Compensation and Pay. The Compensation Toolkit, which pairs the Salary Band Builder with the Merit Increase Matrix.
• Policy and Compliance. The AI in HR Policy and Risk Checklist, the HR Compliance Calendar and Document Audit Kit, and the HR Policy Starter Pack.
• Employee Relations and Leave. The Discipline and Termination Decision Kit, the Employee Relations and Workplace Investigations Kit, and the Leave and Accommodation Kit.
• Retention and Restructuring. The RIF and Restructure Planning Kit and the Retention and Stay Interview Action Kit.
• HR Operations. The HR Operations Binder, a ten-section records and forms system from hiring through offboarding.
• HR Metrics and Cost Analysis. Four analytics workbooks: the RIF and Restructuring Savings Planner, the Recruiting Analytics Pack, the Turnover and Absence Cost Pack, and the Workforce Planning Pack.

Where to begin

Start with the HR issue in front of you, or follow the Program Guide to build your HR foundation in order.

• Begin with the Program Guide. It maps every part of HR to the right tool and shows the recommended rollout order.
• Address an immediate need. Find the matching kit in the numbered file list in Start Here, then follow that kit's own Start Here.
• Build HR from the foundation up. Follow the guide's sequence: policy and compliance, then hiring, then pay, then managers, then the sensitive systems.
• Work with your numbers and records. Use the analytics packs when you need a figure, and the HR Operations Binder as the home for your records.

Using the system responsibly

These working tools and editable templates help you organize the facts and prepare a documented position. They are general HR information, not legal advice or a compliance guarantee.

• One coordinated library. Seventeen kits and four analytics packs that usually sell separately, organized to work together.
• Checked against named sources. The legal content reflects general federal practice as of the review date; state and local rules often go further.
• Calculations and editable templates. The analytics packs produce estimates from the inputs you enter, and every template gives you a starting point to adapt.
• Decisions requiring legal review. Use the tools to prepare your position, then consult qualified counsel before a termination, leave or accommodation denial, reduction selection or release, pay correction across a group, investigation finding, or close exempt or non-exempt classification call.

Before you buy

What format is it and can I edit it?

Your download includes numbered files, PDF guides, editable Word templates, and interactive Excel workbooks. You can adapt every editable file, and the workbooks also open in Google Sheets.

Is this legal advice?

No. These are working tools and editable templates, not legal advice, and not a compliance guarantee. Confirm what applies to you before you act.

Do I get every product in the catalog?

You get the seventeen kits and four analytics packs that make up the system, each with its own Start Here. The single-purpose calculators, the regional and specialty compliance kits, and the industry systems are sold separately.

Should I buy this or a single kit?

The system makes sense when you are building or replacing more than one area of HR. For one specific problem, the matching individual kit costs less and covers that need.

What is the refund policy?

Digital products are covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. To request a refund, email support@truestephr.com or reply to your receipt within 30 days of purchase.

What happens after I buy?

Checkout gives you an instant download link, and your email receipt includes the same link. Open Start Here, then the Program Guide to find the right tool for each area and follow the rollout order. For questions or setup help, email support@truestephr.com.

Want these in your company branding?

We can brand these files with your company logo and name for your team. Email support@truestephr.com with "Branded versions" in the subject, and we will follow up with options and pricing.

How the download works

Your files arrive as a single ZIP download, best opened on a computer. Save it, extract it (right-click and select Extract All on Windows, or double-click on a Mac), then open the Start Here file first. PDFs open in any reader, and editable files work in Microsoft Word and Excel or free equivalents, including LibreOffice, Google Docs, and Google Sheets. No other software is needed.
