GCADA's Dealer HR Services Program is the leading provider of human resource solutions for the franchised motor vehicle dealership.  The goal of this program is to help build personnel operations, increase efficiency and profitability with an emphasis on keeping dealerships in regulatory compliance.  

Services Incude: 

  • Employment & regulatory legal counsel
  • Hiring & pre-employment screening practices
  • Disciplinary & termination procedures
  • Job description development
  • Employee handbook policies & procedures
  • Management training 
  • Conflict resolution and internal investigations
  • Performance and pay plan management

HR Audit Available Exclusively to Dealer HR Services Program Members:
The heart of GCADA's Dealer HR Services Program is the compliance Audit. The audit will be used as a tool and should provide answers to several important questions regarding the application of your dealership's policies.  The review's goals are to determine whether your policies are being applied consistently, and whether these policies are consistently communicated to all employees.  Most lawsuits can be traced to four distinct stages of the employment relationship: hiring, employee evaluation, employee discipline and/or termination, and post employment.  The audit will concentrate in these areas.  We will also look at Federal and State regulations.

Contact Nick Hanna or Pat Harrington at 440-746-1500 or email gcada@gcada.org for more information.
