Free Guides

Welcome to Saltwater HR’s collection of free resources – a regularly updated library of practical guides, checklists and templates for small businesses.

Each resource is designed to help you handle everyday people challenges with confidence – from setting up HR foundations and managing leave, to supporting wellbeing and planning for the unexpected. The content is written for real businesses, not large corporates, with straightforward steps you can use straight away.

You’ll find topics such as maternity and family leave, HR for start-ups, winter wellbeing, business continuity, and much more. Every guide is clear, compliant and focused on what actually works in a small business environment.

All downloads are completely free – there’s no catch, no forms to fill in and no need to hand over your details. Just practical HR support, ready when you need it.

New content is added regularly as employment law and workplace trends evolve, so the advice always stays current and relevant. We also update existing guides to reflect legal changes and lessons learned from the small businesses we support day to day.

If there’s a topic you’d like us to cover next, get in touch – we’re always open to ideas that help make small business HR that little bit easier.
