Services / Outsourced HR
Outsourced HR for your growing business.
We establish and manage your HR infrastructure so you can focus on running your business. Ongoing monthly HR support for businesses across Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts that need more than occasional advice.
An ongoing HR partner—not an advice hotline.
Work with an HR professional who becomes familiar with your company, its people, and its processes. We help build the foundation, manage recurring HR work, and support decisions as the business changes.
What this can include
Keep day-to-day HR work moving.
Your monthly partnership is tailored to the work you need help managing. The agreed scope can include:
Administer and process payroll through your payroll system, with agreed responsibilities for employee changes, timekeeping inputs, review, and approval.
Support role descriptions, hiring workflows, candidate communication, and the transition from an accepted offer to a start date.
Establish checklists, employee documentation, and handoffs to payroll, benefits, managers, and other providers.
Help managers address concerns, document conversations, and approach attendance, conduct, and disciplinary situations thoughtfully.
Establish and maintain practical policies, organized employee records, and consistent documentation processes.
Support enrollment workflows and coordination with your broker, carrier, and payroll provider.
Provide a consistent point of contact for people decisions, expectations, and changing business needs.
The services, responsibilities, and working arrangements are agreed before the engagement begins. A monthly partnership does not automatically include every service listed.
Who we help
When informal HR is no longer enough.
You may have an office manager handling HR alongside other responsibilities, supervisors making decisions without consistent guidance, or an owner spending too much time on employee administration.
Our ideal clients typically have 10–75 employees, although the right fit depends on the business and its needs—not a strict employee-count requirement. Outsourced HR brings professional structure and ongoing support without immediately hiring a full-time HR employee.
Your leadership team retains employer responsibilities and final employment decisions. Legal, tax, accounting, and licensed benefits advice remain with appropriately qualified professionals. We do not guarantee specific savings or compliance outcomes.
How we work
Assess. Establish. Manage.
- Assess
- Review the HR practices in scope: personnel files, payroll and onboarding processes, policies, employee-relations needs, and compliance considerations. Understand what is working and what needs attention first.
- Establish
- Develop a practical plan and put the agreed systems in place. Clarify documentation, workflows, payroll-system access and approval responsibilities, and the handoffs between your team and existing providers.
- Manage
- Provide ongoing HR administration and guidance through a monthly partnership. Agree on priorities, working arrangements, and responsibilities, then maintain and improve processes as your business changes.
Common questions
Practical answers about outsourced HR.
What is outsourced HR?
Outsourced HR means working with an external HR professional to establish and manage your people processes. Depending on the agreed scope, it can include ongoing administration, payroll processing, policies, employee relations, hiring, onboarding, and manager guidance—not just occasional advice.
How much does outsourced HR cost?
Pricing depends on the work included, the size and complexity of your team, and the support your business needs. We discuss those needs and propose a scope and pricing before work begins. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Can you administer and process our payroll?
Yes. We can administer and process payroll through client payroll systems. Before work begins, we agree on who supplies information, reviews changes, and approves payroll. Tax-filing responsibilities must be confirmed with your payroll provider and qualified tax professionals; we do not promise tax-filing services or guaranteed compliance.
Can you help with employee discipline and terminations?
We can help with the process, documentation, and communication involved in sensitive employee matters. Your business makes the final employment decisions. Issues requiring legal advice should involve qualified employment counsel.
Can you work alongside our office manager?
An outsourced HR arrangement can complement an office manager rather than replace them. We define which responsibilities stay with your team and where professional HR administration and guidance would be most useful.
Can we use Innovative HR Partners for individual projects?
Yes. Alongside ongoing monthly partnerships, we offer focused HR projects, audits, and consulting support. A project can address a defined need without assuming a continuing engagement.
Do you support businesses in New Hampshire and Massachusetts?
Yes. We support businesses throughout Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts, particularly along the Nashua–Chelmsford corridor. We’ll discuss your business locations and agree on the appropriate scope of HR support. HR support does not replace qualified employment counsel.
Tell us a little about your business and what's happening with your HR. We'll discuss your needs, answer your questions, and explore how we can help—whether that's ongoing support or a specific project.
If an ongoing partnership makes sense, the next step is a proposed scope covering priorities, responsibilities, working arrangements, and pricing. Individual projects, audits, and consulting remain available when you need help with a defined issue.
