What's included in the 56-document Library?

The public Library is a free, browse-able collection of HR and life-planning templates, guides, checklists, and trackers. Today it spans five categories:

  • HR — ADA accommodation letters, FMLA guides, severance worksheets.
  • Caregiver — caregiver binders, doctor-visit templates, symptom trackers.
  • Government Benefits — Medicare / Medicaid / COBRA / ACA explainers and checklists.
  • Life Planning — Power of attorney, living wills, caregiver binders.
  • Death Planning — survivorship checklists and family-after-loss guides.

Browse the full library at /catalog. Single downloads start at $3, or grab the Full Library Bundle for $29 (one-time, lifetime access, includes new items for free).

How does HR Director booking work?

The HR Director tier includes bi-weekly 1:1 sessions with Ariel — the founder behind Friendly HR Professional™ — every other week, included with your subscription. Sessions are 30 minutes, confidential, and prepped from whatever you send ahead (a draft email, a PIP, a severance letter, etc.).

Members schedule bi-weekly sessions from the booking page at /session. Non-members can also book a single 30-minute Director session for $30 on the same page.

What does the Masterclass include?

Masterclasses are short, practical video trainings — one-time purchase or included with your subscription — covering HR topics most workplaces don't teach well:

  • FMLA — what the law actually requires and how to use it.
  • ADA Accommodations — requesting, documenting, and negotiating.
  • Workplace Rights — retaliation, PIP survival, severance review.
  • Benefits — PPO vs HMO, HSA vs FSA, Medicare enrollment.

Browse every class on the Masterclass page. Some classes are free; paid classes are $20–$47 one-time purchases.

What's the refund policy?

One-time PDF purchases (the Playbook, individual templates, the Full Library Bundle, Masterclass videos) are digital goods and delivered instantly — we can't accept returns once the file has been delivered and the download link emailed to you.

That said, if a file is broken, mis-described, or didn't open — email us within 14 days and we'll replace it or refund it. Subscriptions are refundable pro-rata in the first 30 days — just reply to your welcome email and we'll handle it.

How do upgrades and cancellations work?

Monthly or annual billing — your choice — is set on the pricing page. Annual is 10× the monthly rate (saves ~17%). You can switch at any time.

To upgrade (Free → Coordinator, or Coordinator → Generalist, etc.), pick a new tier — your existing access stays active until the cycle ends, then the new tier takes over.

To downgrade or cancel, click the customer portal link inside your welcome email — or email friendlyhr@polsia.app. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle, so you keep what you've paid for. No fees, no friction.

How is PDF delivery secured?

For every PDF purchase, we mint a signed download link with a 15-minute TTL, scoped to the buyer's email. The link is HMAC-signed — it can't be re-used, re-shared, or replayed after it expires, and it doesn't expose the underlying file URL.

There is no public S3 or R2 link in your inbox — just a private, time-bound signed path tied to your account. We mention this in the delivery email so you know it's safe to click.

Do I need a subscription to buy from the store?

No. The Document Store is one-time purchase — you can buy any single template, the Full Library Bundle, or a Masterclass without subscribing to anything. Individual templates, the Bundle, and Masterclass videos are fulfilled from friendlyhrpro.com; printable planners, the HR meme calendar, and the coloring books are fulfilled by Payhip (opens in a new tab). You'll get an immediate download or receipt email either way.

Subscribing is only useful if you want unlimited re-renders of the templates, the full Knowledge Base, the Emergency Triage tool, and AI chat. Browse plans at /pricing.
