The questions our clients bring us most, answered.
Every answer here started as a real client question. Names and figures are changed; the method isn't. If you're dealing with it, you're probably not the first, and it's usually solvable.
Rippling or Gusto for a company our size?
Start with states, reporting and who will own the system, not the demo.
What happens if 401(k) contributions weren't deposited on time?
Reconcile payroll against the recordkeeper, find every gap, then correct it with your TPA.
Why did our health insurance renewal go up so much?
Trend, who's enrolled, plan changes and sometimes claims. Here's how to judge yours.
What HR do you need before your first hire?
Six things, in order, before day one.
Should we stay on a PEO or build our own HR setup?
There's no universal headcount. Compare the full cost, service and control.
No match yet. Ask it on a free call; useful questions often become new answers here.
Please don't include names, health details or other personal information in a search or question.
These are practical operating answers, not legal or tax advice. Where your state, plan documents or specific facts matter, the answer says so.
Not sure what you need? Good. That's where we come in.
Most companies come to us knowing something isn't working, not knowing which service to buy. We'll help you figure it out first.
