The exposure math

The honest comparison isn't hours saved.

At small headcounts the time-saved math is a wash. The honest math is exposure: one FMLA violation carries automatic double damages, plaintiff attorney fees, and a personal claim against the supervisor who decided.

ROI calculator

What does one FMLA violation cost — vs Sentel running the workflow?

100
6

ONE FMLA violation pays for this many years of Sentel

18.5 years

$100,000 conservative single-violation floor vs $5,400/year for Sentel running 6 cases.

Violation floor is the conservative low-end estimate (administrative fine + plaintiff fees). Full litigation + judgment can reach $1.3M per case. Calculator excludes time-savings math intentionally — at <55 employees, the personal-liability exposure is the honest pitch, not hours-saved. Sentel covers FMLA cases inside the $4.50/employee/month line; cases-per-year affects exposure, not Sentel price.

How this works

The fine print, up front.

Billing
Annual upfront. One charge, one year of access.
Minimum term
1-year minimum. No 6- or 3-month options.
Renewal
No auto-renewal. Before your year ends we send a renewal reminder and book a 15-minute review of how Sentinel has performed. You decide whether to renew. We never charge a card without you saying yes again.
Renewal reminders
Renewal reminders sent 60 / 14 / 1 days before expiry, by email and SMS.
Satisfaction guarantee
30-day satisfaction guarantee on Standard, conditional on the four items below.
What we don't do

The traps HR managers get burned by.

Most HR software gets renewed because cancelling is harder than paying. We explicitly reject each of these patterns.

NoAuto-renewal traps

We never charge a renewal without your written yes. You decide every 12 months, after a 15-minute review of how Sentinel actually performed for you.

NoSeat traps

We price per active employee, not per unused seat. If your headcount drops or you over-provisioned, you pay for what you use — not the empty chairs.

No60-day cancellation windows

No "cancel in writing 60 days before renewal" trap. Annual term, opt-in renewal. If you do nothing, your access ends — not the other way around.

NoHidden fees

List price is the price. No setup fee. No "training seat" upcharge. The credit-card surcharge is the only line item you might see, and only if you pay by card instead of ACH.
