Submit your Testimonial"We have been a subscriber to Personnel Advisor for many years. When in doubt I always go to the "book" and love getting the updates on line of changes in the law, etc. We have several offices in 4 states and I have recently purchased the Illinois book and online service. This is a wonderful GO TO, so much so I recommended it to a friend for her job at the Catholic Cathedral which she purchased/joined."

Helen Mannarino, Owner, Pierogies Plus, McKees Rocks, PA
“Great Product. Love the ease for finding information relative to our situation, printing posters for posting rather than ordering from other companies. I would definitely recommend this to any company wanting to find answers to Human Resource concerns, required postings for employee notifications and keeping it current without the expense and wait of receiving posters. ”
Sharon Christopher, Finance Business Director, Waverly, Ohio
“From time to time questions arise in the HR department. My little Texas Personnel Advisor book is so handy. I have received numerous answers from it. We also were able to create a handbook using the employee handbook template. Of course, we downloaded it from the Personnel Advisor website. This information has saved me from making mistakes. Thank you!! ”
Toni Soto, Office Manager, El Paso, TX
“I used The Personnel Advisor in my previous job for approximately 4 years and loved it. I am a Certified PHRM and I must say that "The Personnel Advisor" was a must have with my previous employer and have now introduced it to my new employer. The Personnel Advisor is an HR Bible with great features. I previously used the Employee Handbook Template and will use it again with my current employer. With the template a lot of time is saved and you can tailor for your company. I love the manual, it is so easy to use. I highly recommend "The Personnel Advisor" to all businesses and/or HR Personnel. ”
Mary Pena, Bookkeeper/HR, Waco, Texas
“Our company has been subscribing to The Personnel Advisor for at least 8 years. When I received a call from my customer service representative (Mike Lane) this morning, I told him how much I appreciate the hard copy manual and the website—they help me find all the information I need. I actually call this my HR bible. This company really makes it fast and easy for me to keep up on the latest information. I will continue to subscribe to them and actually have made it one of a very few of my resources. Great people to work with! ”
Joyce Myers, VP-HR, Portsmouth, OH
“Using the Personnel Advisor Reference Manual is so easy: the index is the very first tab, so you can quickly find the section you are looking for. Plus, updating the book is very simple by pulling out the OLD section and replacing it with the NEW section. The updating instructions included with any change are so easy-to-follow; just do what it says: "remove this" and "replace with" that. Have you already done the March 2014 update? If not, try it now! ”
Art Stemmermann, Director Of Operations, Kingwood, TX
“I wanted to let you know how useful I find your service. The periodic emails are very useful, yet infrequent enough that I read them. While the service is not something that I use every day, the Personnel Advisor is a great reference to have on hand whenever I need it! ”
Mike Burns, President, MAI Services Corporation, Cuyahoga Falls, OH
“The Personal Advisor works very well to keep us informed of the ever changing requirements. ”
Tim Meyer, Office Manager, Defiance, OH
“The Personnel Advisor is my 'go to' for updated information. I have others that call offering additional information, free trials, etc. I tell them I have The Personnel Advisor which I feel is the only 'guide' book I need. I have confidence that The Personnel Advisor has the most current and accurate information. ”
Linda Dunlap, Administrative Services Manager, Sinton, TX
“The Personnel Advisor has been and continues to be a great asset to me and my company. As HR director of a small business, I am frequently asked advice on any number of issues. After coming to my company nearly 7 years ago and using the Personnel Advisor almost as many years, I am very grateful that I have a place to go to in order to answer any questions that come my way—even from people outside my company. The Personnel Advisor has helped me many times and I would recommend this resource to anyone. ”
Lewis Kasko, HR/Safety Supervisor, Diversified Industrial Service Company, Borger, Texas
“The Personnel Advisor is such an invaluable tool for the beginner to the experienced Office Manager or HR personnel. You cannot find a better resource at your fingertips in print and website form for current laws, rules, regulations, or any information that pertains to employee matters. The up-to-date information that you receive via the email newsletters gives the management a real time look at issues that may affect them and supplies an enormous amount of reference material to work with for a total understanding of the topic at hand. This service is a must for any business and it will save you time, money, and effort as The Personnel Advisor will be your number one go to resource! ”
Karen Dillhoff, Office Manager, Dayton, Ohio
“This has been a wonderful tool saving us many hours as they do a great job of organizing and updating information in a very user friendly format! We also love the knowledgeable support staff who check in on us and our changing needs with regard to human resources. Thanks again Personnel Advisor for letting us stay focused on our mission by making the HR side so easy! ”

“Whenever there is any question concerning employment issues, I grab the "gray book." It's never let me down. The best reference book money can buy! ”
Marta Kimber, HR Manager, Fountain Valley, CA
“Thank you, thank you and thank you again! The Texas Personnel Advisor is truly my life-saver. The reference manual is my “HR Bible" and is always up-to-date, thanks to you guys. Also, your website is AWESOME...I love all the forms and free posters. ”
Connie Rigby Angelle, HR/Office Manager, Beaumont, Texas
“I have had this service for two years now. I love the fact all the information is on my desk. The book is wonderful and the web site is easy to use. I receive updates and the latest news on all aspects of safety rules and employment regulations. This also helped me on a Workers’ Compensation case that is active. Thanks so much for the information. This is a service we will keep for a long time. ”
Cindy Gregory, Office Manager, Grove City, Ohio
“I really want to thank The Personnel Advisor for not only the written guide but especially the on-line services. Our company is working on a much leaner workforce recently and it is very difficult to keep up with changes in California without the resources that are available through the on-line services. I check in a few minutes what the latest human resource developments are and I am able to keep my forms current and always available through The Personnel Advisor on-line. I've been receiving your services for several years and have found that the value has become more and more important to our company.”
Shera Williamson, Office Manager, Los Angeles, CA
“We used the handbook template provided with your subscription service for our new company policy manual. It was awesome! It saved us valuable time in researching many human resource topics. We ended up with a super Employee Policy Manual.”
Beverly Griffith, VP, Buckeye Trailer Center LLC, Baltic, Ohio
“Our company has subscribed to The Personnel Advisor for many years, and it is our "Go-To" source for all of our HR questions. We routinely receive offers for other publications; however, we have been able to research all pertinent issues in the Advisor. There is no reason to subscribe to another publication. Keep up the good work!”
Jay Traversi, Vice President, Beaumont Machine Works, Inc., Beaumont, Texas
“Not only is your product competitively priced, it is always current and useful. I use sections from the manual to create framework leadership training for our supervisors. It has proved to be an excellent source of concise information that has greatly benefited our lower and mid-level supervisors. Additionally, when in doubt or my memory is fuzzy, I turn to the Texas Personnel Advisor first, even after 19 years in human resources.”
Martin Brubaker, Director of Human Resources, Temple, Texas
“The Personnel Advisor is an invaluable tool for our organization! It would be impossible to adequately manage our human resources without the guidance that we receive from the Personnel Advisor. We routinely use the forms from the New Hire Packet and greatly appreciate the updated posters that keep us in compliance with federal and state laws. The monthly newsletters keep us up-to-date on issues that we need to monitor. It is wonderful to have such a tool that streamlines compliance! ”
Trina Jackson, Vice President, The Peoples Savings Bank, New Matamoras, Ohio
“The Personnel Advisor has been a huge help to me. I have no formal education in HR and was thrust into the position of overseeing and doing HR functions in our business. The Advisor has helped in so many instances when we have been faced with various issues involving legalities for employees. Our company refers to the Advisor on a regular basis, and the email newsletters keep us constantly updated. I know many of us out there have no former education in HR, and are placed in positions for our companies dealing with employee issues on a daily basis. Thanks for such a great product.”
Elaine Gebauer, Administrative Manager, Pittsburgh, PA
“Your e-newsletter sent out on December 22, 2011, included an article “Payroll Reminders & Changes For 2012” that was particularly helpful. I found this information valuable and very important to share with our employees. So I used your idea and created my own newsletter to use as a payroll stuffer. Working for a public sector I have limited funds/resources so I value my membership with Texas Personnel Advisor. Thank you for keeping me up to date with such valuable information.”
Juanita Espino, Human Resource Director, Kendall County, Boerne, TX
“I have many books in my office in regards to running a business and managing employees. However, the “number 1” book I refer to most often is my Texas Personnel Advisor. It has everything and then some to operate smoothly on a daily basis. Our company handbook is straight out of the Texas Personnel Advisor and it tackled everything we needed. I appreciate how comprehensive and easy the Advisor is, and it’s the one thing I will never be without. I have told many of my fellow business owners about this company and what they can do for them. The customer service is as great as the product. Thanks Texas Personnel Advisor for making my job easier!”
Judy Woolf, Precision Hydraulic Technology, Inc, Odessa, TX
“Within our company when we have a HR question the first place we go is The Personnel Advisor. Even if we know the answer, we do a double check to make sure. It is easy to use -- comprehensive of any situation we have come across -- and has been a great teaching tool for new office employees, supervisors and our HR department. As company controller, I have used it to keep our handbook up-to-date and to answer or get ideas on different situations that arise in the course of business. Recently I attended a seminar on HR and took the book along and showed it to many of the attendees at lunch break -- we used it to check on what we had discussed during the morning session.”
Joan Stemmer, Controller, Brooklyn Heights, OH
“Our company has been a subscriber to the Personnel Advisor for several years now. We recently updated our policy manual and used the Personnel Advisor as a reference for many of our policies; it is an invaluable source of information, especially with the changes in the ADA and health care reform. I also use Personnel Advisor to ensure that all of our required postings are up to date and have ordered the laminated posters for several years for the four locations we need to post them. I really like the "Hot News" section and the monthly newsletters. I personally reference Personnel Advisor several times a week as does our HR department.”
Belinda Sweeney, QA Manager, Warren, Ohio
“Deciding to subscribe to the Texas Personnel Advisor has been one of the best decisions I have made. It has been well worth the investment, saving our Center both time and money. I recently updated our policies and procedures and the Advisor's templates saved me weeks of time in research and writing. I also rely on the Advisor for up to date information on legal issues, which is helpful a smaller agency like ours! The emails and online services is just an added benefit. Thanks for your help.”
Doak Givan, Executive Director, Family Services Center, Inc., Brownwood, Texas
From a new subscriber in Pennsylvania:
“I have already used the manual two times since I bought it yesterday. My payroll biller also loves it. She did not understand weighted averages, looked it up in the book, and there it was. The Personnel Advisor also has answered my questions on the status of the recent NLRB ruling. The website is very useful and user friendly and covers a lot. I feel I have a personal adviser at my fingertips.”
Barbara Graver, President, Quality Personal Care, Inc, Lehighton, PA
“I have subscribed to The Personnel Advisor for several years and have found that their manual, newsletter and regular updates keep me informed of what changes are happening in the industry on a very timely basis. It is so easy to look up a question in the manual or go online and research. Having both the laminated posters for sale at a very reasonable price and the option to print out the current posters based on the business size is extremely helpful! I recommend their products to all my HR and business friends.”
Mary Jean George, Owner & Principal Consultant, HR-PRN, LLC, San Antonio, TX
“The Personnel Advisor is a great tool for my HR Department. We are a small company with less than 50 employees. The Personnel Advisor keeps us updated on the regulatory changes and the Reference Manual, or “Little Black Book” as I call it, is a convenient tool for a quick look up to questions that we have about such things as employment of a 17-year-old, overtime pay, in-service training pay, holiday pay, travel reimbursement, and more. I have been a subscriber to The Personnel Advisor for almost 10 years and it is well worth the money. I would recommend this for any HR Department.”
Deborah Voiers-Akers, BA, NHA, CEO, Voiers Enterprises, Inc, McDermott, OH
“The Personnel Advisor has been an extremely helpful resource. Managing employee issues in a small business can be very sensitive and having The Personnel Advisor is a blessing. I have utilized their templates from the website on numerous occasions along with the New Hire Packet to insure all required documentation is handled correctly. Being a small business, we don't have a full time human resource department. So when I have any questions I open my Personnel Advisor binder and find all the answers I need!”
Doug Galley, General Manager, Kasparian's Paint Center, Fresno, CA
“The Personnel Advisor is an outstanding service. It provides small business owners such as myself with the resources to effectively administer HR policies and to know when compliance may be an issue. Furthermore, the customer service team is outstanding. They make it very easy to keep up with the most current information. The day I signed on with The Personnel Advisor was a great day for my company.”
Darren Rodia, President, Kinetic Physical Therapy, Chester Springs, PA
“The PA Personnel Advisor is an excellent resource. It is the best HR tool that I have encountered in the 28 years that I have been in the HR business.”
Victor Nardo, Human Resources Manager, Bridgeville, PA
“I was very skeptical when I was first contacted by phone from a member of your company. I had endless questions that I posed to the sales rep, but he answered each one with knowledge and patience. I had always searched for a resource that would answer questions with the employer in mind. This is the one! I continue to find more and more ways to use the Personnel Advisor. From the website, I printed all our required posters, printed w4's, employee hire packages, and will soon finish our employee handbook. This is well worth the money!”
Roberta Roberts, Co-owner, Roberts Agency, Arcanum, Ohio
“Our HR Department has used The Personnel Advisor as our primary information source for 5 or more years. We do so because the beginners and the well-experienced can quickly and easily find the information necessary. The updates are timely and the forms are easily accessible on the internet.”
Corby Barrett, HR Manager, Perryton, Texas
“I am in the process of developing a new employee handbook for our company. I found The Personnel Advisor's Employee Handbook Template to be exceptionally well written and very user-friendly. Having access to this comprehensive outline saves me a significant amount of time and energy. And, the price was right! Thanks to the Personnel Advisor for their contribution to our organization.”
Thomas A. Thornton, President, Key Builders Construction Inc., Princeton, IL
“With varied duties, including HR, in our agency I have spent a lot of time in the past researching "legalities." Fortunately, several years ago we subscribed to the Pennsylvania Personnel Advisor and will continue to renew. The PA Advisor is on my shelf, always available for current and timely reference. It has allowed me and our management team to provide correct information at the time of question, making the PA Advisor an invaluable and appreciated resource.”
Gayle Padfield, Administrative Assistant, Olyphant, Pennsylvania
“I have been subscribing to the Texas Personnel Advisor since 2005 and have found it to be a very beneficial resource for our personnel department. I like having the ability to have access online as well as having my trusty reference book on the bookshelf.”
Kathy Bancuch, Office & Human Resource Manager, Victoria, Texas
“Many thanks your organization for the opportunity to review for free this impressive manual. As a previous business owner I would highly recommend this product. Having all this information at an arms reach is invaluable for today’s busy successful owner.”
Andrew Justice, Camp Hill, PA
“I have been in Human Resource and EHS for well over 20 years. I constantly look for a "tangible" manual that would support my efforts. Finally, I have found one in "The Personnel Advisor." Skeptical at first, I used this little brown notebook and with updates it has become essential. I have renewed 2 times, and would recommend the service to anyone. Thanks!”
Joe Nash, Operations Support Manager, Fralo Industries, Inc., Erie, PA
