Overview

Payroll & HR Administration for California Small Businesses

Payroll and HR administration in California carries real detail: timekeeping, breaks, required notices, new-hire reporting and records that need to be kept in order. Mistakes are stressful for everyone.

We coordinate your payroll provider, keep employee files complete, manage onboarding and offboarding checklists and maintain a simple employee handbook. For legal questions we work with your employment attorney — we keep the operations side clean so those conversations are short.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you replace our payroll software?

No. We work with providers like Gusto, ADP or Paychex and make sure the inputs are right every cycle.

Do you give legal advice?

No. We're not a law firm. We handle HR administration and coordinate with an employment attorney for legal guidance.

Can you help with our first hire?

Absolutely — first hires are a great time to set up payroll, files and onboarding the right way.
