Question 1

What does 'fractional HR' mean?

Accepted Answer

Fractional HR means you get the expertise of a senior HR professional without hiring full-time. We act as your HR department on a part-time or project basis, handling everything from payroll administration to compliance and employee relations.

Question 2

What payroll systems do you support?

Accepted Answer

We're platform-agnostic. We specialize in Rippling and iSolved (including through providers like Paragon), but we also work with ADP, Paychex, Gusto, and others. If you're on a different system, we can often work with it or help you migrate to a platform better suited to your needs.

Question 3

Can you help us stay compliant with labor laws?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We maintain current employee handbooks, conduct compliance training, and keep your documentation audit-ready. We cover federal requirements like FMLA and ADA, plus state-specific regulations for every state you operate in.

Question 4

How is this different from a PEO?

Accepted Answer

Unlike a PEO, you maintain full control of your employees and don't share employer responsibilities. We're an extension of your team, not a co-employer. You keep your own workers' comp policy and benefits plans while we handle the administrative burden.

Question 5

What size companies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work best with growing businesses between 10-250 employees. Below 10, the fractional model may not be cost-effective. Above 250, you likely need full-time dedicated HR staff. Our sweet spot is companies that have outgrown their startup systems but aren't ready for an enterprise HR team.

Question 6

What if we eventually need to hire a full-time HR person?

Accepted Answer

That's often the goal. We help you build the systems and documentation so that when you're ready to hire a full-time HR Director, they can hit the ground running. We can even help recruit and onboard them, then transition to an advisory role.
