HR manages critical functions like hiring, employee relations, compliance with labor laws, payroll coordination, performance management, and training. Good HR practices protect your business from legal risk and improve employee retention.
An employee handbook sets expectations, documents key policies, and can be a legal safeguard in disputes. It’s also a tool for onboarding and maintaining consistency across your team.
Failing to comply with wage and hour laws, incorrect employee classification (exempt vs. non-exempt), poor documentation of performance issues, and inconsistent handling of employee complaints are some of the biggest risks.
We recommend updating your HR policies at least annually or any time there are changes in federal or state employment law. Businesses operating in multiple states may need more frequent updates due to differing local regulations.
No matter the size of your business, HR is incredibly valuable to its sustainability and growth. Neglecting HR policies or having owners or admins juggling HR alongside other duties can lead to legal exposure and burnout. Fractional HR or HR support ensures compliance, structure, and peace of mind while freeing up leadership to focus on growing the business.
Fractional HR means outsourcing part or all of your HR function to an external team. Instead of hiring a full-time HR employee, you get access to experienced professionals on a part-time, ongoing basis.

Most clients are on a monthly retainer customized based on business size, complexity, and need. This offers predictable pricing and flexibility compared to the cost of hiring a full-time HR professional.
We supplement internal HR teams with strategic expertise and serve as a “phone-a-friend” for complex or sensitive issues like terminations, investigations, or compliance changes. It's like having a fractional HR director on call.
