HOW IT WORKS

Two line items. No base charge. You pay a one-time onboarding fee to get started, then a monthly PEPM rate for the services you select.

A four-step guide to HR service packages, including selecting service pairs, paying onboarding fees, monthly PEPM rates, and bundling for discounts.

STEP ONE

Choose Your Service Pairs

Select the lifecycle stages you need. Each pair is priced per employee per month (PEPM) with a monthly minimum, so smaller teams never overpay.

Job advertisement for attraction and hiring services, priced at $12 per employee per month with a minimum of $300 monthly, listing services like employer branding, talent marketing, pay transparency, ATS setup, structured interviews, and hiring metrics.
Welcome & Grow section outlining onboarding benefits and costs, including a $10 monthly fee per employee, minimum $250, with features like 90-day onboarding, team integration, performance review, feedback frameworks, and manager coaching.

STEP TWO

One-time Onboarding Fee

Every engagement starts with a one-time onboarding fee per service pair. This covers your initial audit, system setup, client portal, direct messaging, monthly reporting, dedicated relationship management, and the first 30 days of foundation building.

DISCOUNT PROGRAMS

Nonprofit Discount promotional text about 50% off onboarding fees and details about PEPM rates for nonprofit organizations.

Lantern was built around access. These discounts exist because great HR support shouldn’t be exclusive to companies with big budgets.

Text about a small business discount of 50% off onboarding fees for businesses with fewer than 10 employees.

STEP THREE (OPTIONAL)

The more you build, the more you save.

A discount chart displaying savings levels based on the number of pairs purchased, with details for 1 pair, 2 pairs, 3-4 pairs, and all 6 pairs.

Bundle discounts apply automatically to all service pair fees when you add multiple pairs. No negotiating required.

QUESTIONS

Things people ask before getting started.

  • PEPM stands for per employee per month.

    You multiply your employee count by the rate for each service pair you select. If the result is below the monthly minimum, you pay the minimum. If it's above, you pay the calculated amount.

    Your price adjusts quarterly as your headcount changes.

  • Absolutely.

    Most clients start with one or two pairs — usually Pay & Protect or Welcome & Grow — and add more as we show you results.

    You’re never locked into more than you need right now.

  • Headcount is reviewed quarterly.

    If your count moves into a new tier, pricing adjusts on the next invoice cycle. We’ll always notify you 30 days before any change so there are no surprises.

  • For most industries yes — our PEPM model is designed to be fair across the board.

    Highly regulated industries or organizations with complex compliance requirements may have custom pricing. Book a discovery call and we'll be transparent about what applies to you.

  • No. All engagements are month-to-month by default with 30-day written notice to cancel.
