Ellie Zambrano has founded a beauty and personal care business. Distinguishing her brand is the exclusive use of organic ingredients in affordable makeup products for women and a new line for men. The company has achieved $1 million in gross revenues in the fiscal year 2022 and operates from a medium-sized factory in the Bronx with 18 employees. In light of business growth, Ms. Zambrano is initiating the development of personnel policies, starting with a total rewards compensation program covering salaries and benefits. She has approached Harvard University for student teams to propose compensation programs, with the top two submissions receiving additional points in their final grades. The chosen proposal may also lead to the team securing the project.

Can you suggest "in addition to your fee, provide a reasonable time frame, including payment schedule, for doing this work."

Thank you
