Labor Relations

Cost in minutes, not weeks.

Ask Holly what a proposal costs and get an answer traced to your salary schedules.

What does one added holiday cost? $0.17M Across the three-year term. It’s pensionable, so PERS adds another $0.03M on top.
What does the hazmat differential cost? $0.21M 38 people in four classifications get it. It’s a flat rate, so it doesn’t compound when you add the across-the-board.
How much is the health cap increase? $1.05M That’s $120 a month for three years. It costs you more than the salary increase does.
Cost the full package on the table right now. $3.88M Salary, health, and every special pay, with your payroll tax and PERS on top.
What if we go 2% / 2% / 3% instead? $1.14M You save $0.12M against a flat 3%, but most of it comes back in year three when the 3% lands on a bigger base.
Swap the holiday for a $500 stipend. −$0.09M A flat stipend isn’t pensionable, so you drop another $0.02M of PERS with it.
Add the longevity step back at year 15. +$0.90M That’s on top of the 3%. 148 of your 412 people hit year 15 before the contract ends.
How much of payroll is special pay? 6.8% About $1.9M a year across 11 of them. Bilingual and standby account for most of it.
How much of this is pensionable? $2.71M of $3.88M About 70% of the package flows into PERS. Longevity and holiday pay count toward it, the stipend doesn’t.

Prepare

Start with what you have.

The data you need before you sit down at the bargaining table lives everywhere — in salary schedules, current MOUs, side letters, HRIS exports, and the costing spreadsheet someone rebuilt last cycle and never shared. Holly does the legwork, pulling it into one clean, easily-accessible source of truth: headcount, steps, current terms, and total compensation, already reconciled and ready to cost against.

Negotiate

Cost in the moment.

Labor negotiations happen live. Now, your costing can too. No more staring at a spreadsheet until the early hours of the morning. No more long breaks until you figure out if your agency can actually afford a 3% COLA or walk-backs on agreements you thought you could fit into budget.

Holly answers costing questions as they come up, so you're able to cost every proposal that comes to the table, even when pressed for time.

Verify

Check our math.

Holly isn't magic: it's an AI-powered calculation engine that shows its work. Every number traces back to real data. Every formula is inspectable. Every result holds up when a union rep, an auditor, or your own team asks "how did you get that?"

No invented figures. No unexplained assumptions. Just math you can verify, start to finish, directly in Excel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need to upload our HRIS data to get started?

No. Holly can start from your published MOUs, salary schedules, and adopted budget and give you directionally accurate numbers right away. Employee-level payroll exports are what make it dollar-accurate — getting those right, against your agency's own rules, is what implementation is for.

Which HRIS systems does Holly support?

Tyler, Workday, OpenGov, and several payroll systems including Springbrook. We extract from clean exports — no integration build required to start.

How long does implementation take?

Implementation is typically 2–6 weeks depending on payroll system and data quality.

How is Holly different from a labor-costing consultant?

A consultant costs a scenario. Holly costs every scenario, as many times as your bargaining team needs.

Consultants also start from zero on your classifications and departments each engagement — you spend weeks bringing them up to speed, they come back asking whether the output looks right, and the answer arrives once, months later, often after the numbers have moved. Holly already has your class specs and comparator data, returns a directionally accurate cost in minutes, and lets your analyst re-run it the morning after a bargaining session.

Is our data secure?

Yes. Holly is SAML supported SOC II compliant. Current details are in our Trust Center

What does it cost?

Pricing is based on agency size and module mix. Reach out and we'll scope it against your population, bargaining-unit count, and existing Holly footprint
