Termination / RIF Pack
One-time. Scripted exit checklist, document pack outline, systems cutoff map, and handoff notes so separations are consistent and claim-ready.

The ugly HR desk when AI cuts headcount.
ai2HR is the employer-side HR practice inside AI Bloom. When automation, restructuring, or a hard quarter forces terminations, we run the work most teams avoid: RIF packs, unemployment claim responses, I-9 cleanup, and a monthly restructuring retainer—so your leadership stays on the business, not in DES portals.
The problem
AI Bloom builds the AI. Someone still has to clean up the people side.
Layoffs, role eliminations, and “efficiency” restructures leave a trail of paperwork, deadlines, and claim fights. Most 10–200 person companies do not have a bench for that work.
Termination packets get improvised. Separation agreements, final pay checklists, access cutoffs, and benefit COBRA notices get patched together at midnight—then a claim arrives and nothing matches.
Unemployment claims sit unanswered. NC DES (and out-of-state) notices have short clocks. A late or incomplete response often means you eat the charge.
I-9 and E-Verify drift for years. A restructure or audit request suddenly exposes missing forms, bad reverifications, and remote-hire gaps no one owns.
Leadership is the “HR department.” The COO or office manager becomes the claim desk while still running ops—and the AI project that caused the headcount change.
Core services
Four packages. Built for real exits, not brochure HR.
Direct employer-side support for RIF, claims, compliance cleanup, and ongoing restructuring ops.
Unemployment Claim Defense
Per claim or retainer. We draft and file employer responses, assemble evidence packets, and track deadlines so claims do not default against you.
Claim defense detailsI-9 / E-Verify Cleanup Sprint
Time-boxed audit of active and former-employee files, gap log, remediation plan, and process so the next hire does not recreate the mess.
Cleanup sprint detailsAI Restructuring Retainer
Monthly employer-side HR desk. Ongoing RIF coordination, claim queue, policy hygiene, and a named ops contact while AI Bloom (or your stack) changes the org chart.
Retainer detailsScenarios
What this looks like in a real Charlotte SMB.
No fake logos. No invented metrics. These are the situations we build packages around.
Scenario · Manufacturing / distribution
Twelve roles cut after a warehouse automation pilot
Owner needs same-week exit packets, consistent messaging to remaining staff, and a plan for the wave of unemployment claims that will follow. Termination Pack + claim retainer.
Scenario · Professional services
Fractional CFO finds three open DES notices in a shared inbox
Deadlines are days away. No documented performance file. We assemble what exists, file timely responses, and set a queue so the next notice does not vanish.
Scenario · Healthcare admin / clinic group
Remote hires left I-9s half-done for two years
Office manager owns E-Verify in name only. Cleanup Sprint inventories the file room, logs gaps, and installs a hire checklist before the next audit letter.
Scenario · Tech-enabled services
AI Bloom is rewriting workflows; headcount will drop over six months
COO wants one desk for staged RIFs, claim defense, and policy updates—without hiring a full-time HR director. AI Restructuring Retainer.

How we work
Fast scoping. Clear ownership. No theater.
Scope the mess
30–45 minute call: headcount change, claim backlog, file state, and who owns what today. We tell you what we can run and what needs counsel.
Stand up the pack or queue
You get a written scope, example pricing confirmed against your facts, and a kickoff checklist. Work starts on the ugliest deadline first.
Run and hand back
We execute, document, and leave you with templates and a clean queue—or keep the monthly desk if restructuring continues.
Have a RIF, a claim letter, or a file room you do not trust?
Book a scoping call. We will tell you straight whether a pack, a sprint, or a retainer fits—and what belongs with your employment attorney.
