Frequently asked questions.
Q1: Our business is small. Do we really need HR support?
A: Yes. Even businesses with as few as 10 employees face compliance requirements and people challenges. HR isn’t just about “paperwork” - it’s about protecting your company from risk, creating consistency, and freeing leadership to focus on growth. Fractional HR lets you access professional support without the cost of a full-time hire.
Q2: Won’t HR slow us down with rules and red tape?
A: No. A good HR function actually helps you move faster by clarifying processes, reducing confusion, and handling the details that eat up your time. We build policies and systems that enable decision-making, not block it - and because we integrate with your existing systems, there’s no disruption.
Q3: We’ve never had issues before. Why fix what isn’t broken?
A: HR is like insurance - you don’t need it until you really need it. Waiting until there’s a lawsuit, an EEOC complaint, or a payroll mistake is expensive and stressful. Proactive HR ensures you’re compliant today and prepared for tomorrow, minimizing surprises down the road.
Q4: If we outsource HR, won’t we lose control?
A: Not at all. Outsourcing with HR Value Partners gives you more control because you have professionals dedicated to your success. We provide an on-site HR admin and an HR generalist who know your business, meet with you monthly, and are available by phone and email. You always set the priorities - we execute them.
Q5: Our managers use common sense. Isn’t that enough?
A: Common sense is valuable, but employment law and compliance are complex. Even well-intentioned decisions can create liability if not handled properly. We give your managers tools, training, and back-up so they can lead effectively while staying compliant.
Q6: How does fractional HR work with HR Value Partners?
A: Each client is assigned two dedicated professionals:
An HR Admin who takes on day-to-day tasks (benefits enrollment, new hire paperwork, PTO tracking, etc.).
An HR Generalist who provides compliance, strategic guidance, and project support.
Your team is onsite every month, works within your systems, and is available for questions in between visits. It’s like having an HR department - at a fraction of the cost.
Q7: What types of businesses are a good fit for HRVP?
A: We work best with small businesses and nonprofits that don’t have a full-time HR department but still need professional HR support. Most of our clients have between 15 and 100 employees. Whether you operate from a single office, multiple sites, or a fully remote setup, our model scales with you as you grow.
Q8: What does it cost?
A: Our service is far less expensive than hiring a full-time HR employee - with none of the overhead that comes with salary, benefits, or turnover. Instead of paying for one person, you gain access to a dedicated admin, an HR generalist, and the collective expertise of our entire HRVP team. That means you receive broad HR coverage at a predictable monthly rate, without the expense of adding headcount.
Q9: What’s the commitment?
A: We typically work on 12-month agreements, which allows us to fully integrate, document your processes, and complete key projects like handbook reviews or compliance audits. However, we also offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for new clients - if you’re not satisfied after the initial 60 day onboarding and first project, you can cancel and receive a 30 day refund.
Q10: How do we get started?
A: It starts with a conversation. We’ll talk through your current HR setup, challenges, and goals. From there, we’ll outline a tailored scope of work and onboarding plan. You can schedule a call directly https://calendly.com/hrvp/lets-talk or contact us at (262)842-5851 or brad@hrvaluepartners.com.
