The HR risk small businesses ignore

HR mistakes are expensive — and most are preventable.

Most small business owners handle HR informally — and most of them don’t realize the exposure that creates until something goes wrong.

📄
No employee handbook — limited protection
Without documented policies, you have no consistent standard to point to when an employee dispute arises. A handbook protects you and sets clear expectations.
📋
Onboarding that happens in someone’s head
When onboarding is informal and undocumented, new hires miss critical information, forms don’t get signed, and compliance gaps appear from day one.
⚖️
Employment law that can change
States update their employment laws regularly. Minimum wage, leave policies, poster requirements — staying current is a full-time job.
🗂️
Employee files scattered everywhere
I-9s in a drawer, offer letters in email, performance notes in a notebook — when you need documentation fast, you can’t find anything.
🏥
ACA compliance flying under the radar
Employers with 50 or more full-time employees, counting part-time hours as full-time equivalents, must report their offers of health coverage to the IRS. Missing deadlines or filing incorrectly can mean penalties.
🆕
New hire paperwork that takes all day
Paper I-9s, W-4s, direct deposit forms, policy acknowledgments — electronic onboarding cuts the paper chase.
HR tools built into your payroll platform

Everything you need to manage your people — in one place.

Our HR tools are built into iSolved — the same platform as your payroll. No separate logins, no disconnected systems, no data entry twice.

✍️
Electronic employee onboarding
New hires complete all paperwork digitally before their first day — I-9, W-4, direct deposit, and policy acknowledgments all in one flow.
🗂️
HR document management
Store, organize, and retrieve every employee document in a secure, searchable system. No more digging through filing cabinets.
📌
Labor poster replacement
Replacement federal and state labor posters when the laws change, so you don’t have to track poster updates yourself. Included with every plan.
📱
Employee self-service portal
Employees update their own info, access documents, and manage their profile — reducing administrative burden on you.
📚
HR Basic: your HR library
Templates, policy guides, and compliance resources. Two months free with every plan; after that it’s $10 per month unless you cancel.
📞
HR Essentials: live HR support
Everything in HR Basic, plus live HR guidance, policy help, and compliance assistance, for $100 per month. HR support provides guidance, not legal advice.
🏥
ACA administration (Core Pro)
ACA administration and reporting through iSolved, including 1095-C reporting support. Included with Core Pro.
🏦
Benefits & open enrollment
Benefits administration comes with Core+ (Time or Benefits) and Core Pro (both), and electronic open enrollment comes with Core Pro.

What it costs

Transparent pricing, with every fee disclosed upfront.

The HR tools above come with your payroll plan. Payroll pricing is a base fee per payroll run — $45 weekly, $64 bi-weekly or semi-monthly, or $95 monthly — plus a per-employee rate of $3.35 on Core, $5.30 on Core+, or $9.70 on Core Pro.

HR Basic is free for your first 2 months, then $10 per month unless you cancel, and HR Essentials is $100 per month. For example, a 10-person team on a bi-weekly Core plan pays $97.50 per payroll, and adding HR Essentials adds $100 per month.
