2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Dominguez Consulting Services LLC provides professional business consulting services focused on workplace safety compliance, OSHA regulatory guidance, safety program development, compliance auditing, and payroll management support. Our Services are designed to assist small and medium-sized businesses operating in California and other jurisdictions within the United States.

2.1 Service Categories Include:

Workplace Safety Consulting: OSHA compliance guidance, safety program development, job site safety evaluations, and safety policy creation.
Safety Training Programs: OSHA-certified training, hazard awareness education, equipment safety instruction, and customized employee training sessions.
Compliance Audits: Workplace safety inspections, regulatory assessments, documentation reviews, and corrective action planning.
Payroll Services: Payroll processing, employee payment tracking, record management, compliance assistance, W-2 preparation, and payroll reporting support.

Ongoing Consulting & Support: On-demand safety consulting, payroll process guidance, compliance assistance, documentation support, and incident investigation services.

2.2 Service Limitations:

Our consulting Services provide guidance, recommendations, and support based on current regulatory frameworks and industry best practices. However, we do not guarantee specific regulatory outcomes, inspection results, or legal protections.
Payroll Services are administrative support services. We are not a bank, financial institution, or employer of record. Clients remain solely responsible for final approval of payroll data, tax filings, employee classifications, and compliance with wage and hour laws.
Safety training and program development Services are educational and advisory in nature. Implementation, enforcement, and ongoing maintenance of safety protocols remain the responsibility of the client.
Services are tailored to client needs but are based on information provided by the client. Inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information may affect the effectiveness of our recommendations.

3. ENGAGEMENT AND PAYMENT TERMS

3.1 Service Agreements: Specific scope, deliverables, timelines, and fees for consulting or payroll engagements will be detailed in a separate Statement of Work (“SOW”) or Service Agreement executed between the Company and the Client. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a signed SOW, the SOW shall control with respect to the specific engagement.

3.2 Fees and Invoicing:

Fees for Services are outlined in proposals, quotes, or SOWs provided prior to engagement.
Payroll Services may be billed monthly based on the number of employees processed or pursuant to a fixed monthly retainer.
Consulting Services may be billed hourly, per project, or via retainer, as specified in the applicable SOW.
All invoices are due within fifteen (15) days of receipt unless otherwise specified in writing.
Late payments may incur interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the maximum rate permitted by California law, if lower) or reasonable collection costs.

3.3 Expenses: Client agrees to reimburse Company for reasonable, pre-approved out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing Services, including travel, lodging, materials, or third-party fees.

3.4 Payment Methods: Payments may be made via check, bank transfer, credit card, or other methods approved by Company. Client is responsible for all transaction fees associated with their chosen payment method unless otherwise agreed.

3.5 Taxes: Fees quoted are exclusive of applicable sales, use, gross receipts, or other taxes. Client is responsible for all taxes associated with the Services, excluding taxes based solely on the Company’s net income.

4. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

To ensure the effectiveness of our Services, Client agrees to:

Provide accurate, complete, and timely information, documentation, and access to personnel, facilities, or records as reasonably requested by Company;
Designate a primary point of contact authorized to make decisions and provide feedback regarding the engagement;
Maintain compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards independent of the Company’s advisory role;
Implement safety protocols, payroll procedures, or compliance measures as recommended, understanding that final implementation and enforcement rest with Client;
Notify Company promptly of any changes in business operations, workforce size, regulatory status, or other factors that may impact the scope or delivery of Services.

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may limit the effectiveness of our Services and does not relieve the Client of their independent legal obligations.
