A La Carte HR SolutionsBuild the HR Support Your Business Actually Needs.
You don’t always need everything. And you shouldn’t have to pay for everything just to get the HR support you do need.
With A La Carte HR Solutions, you can mix and match Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources support at the Administration, Management, and Advisor levels to create a solution that fits your organization.
Need help with payroll administration but want us to manage benefits? We can do that. Have your day-to-day HR covered but need experienced HR guidance for more complex situations? We can do that too.
You choose what you need. We build the support around it.
Think of it as building your own Right-Sized HR™ solution.
How A La Carte HR Works
Your Business. Your Needs. Your HR Solution.
Not every part of your HR function needs the same level of support.
With A La Carte HR Solutions, you can choose Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources support individually, then select the level of support you need in each area.
You don’t have to choose Administration across the board. You don’t have to choose Management across the board. And you don’t have to pay for a higher level of support in an area where you simply don’t need it.
For example, your Right-Sized HR™ solution might include:
Payroll Administration
We handle the administrative payroll work.
Benefits Management
We manage your day-to-day benefits function and employee support.
HR Advisor
You have full HR support, including experienced guidance and compliance expertise.
One Organization. Three Different Needs. One Right-Sized HR™ Solution.
Whether you need help with one area or all three, A La Carte HR Solutions gives you the flexibility to build the combination that makes sense for your organization.

A La Carte HR Solutions FAQs
Who are A La Carte HR Solutions designed for?
A La Carte HR Solutions are designed for organizations that want ongoing HR support but don’t need the same type or level of support across Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources.
You may need support in only one or two areas, or you may need all three at different levels. We’ll talk through what you’re currently handling, where you need additional support or expertise, and what you want to keep in-house. Then we’ll help you build the combination of services that fits your organization.
That’s Right-Sized HR™.
Do I have to choose the same level of support for Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources?
No. That’s exactly what makes A La Carte HR Solutions flexible.
You can mix and match Administration, Management, and Advisor services based on what you need in each area. For example, you might choose Payroll Administration, Benefits Management, and HR Advisor. Your Right-Sized HR™ solution is built around your organization’s needs.
Do I have to choose Payroll, Benefits, and Human Resources?
No. You can choose the individual services your organization needs. You may need support in just one area, two areas, or all three.

Management includes the corresponding Administration services and adds ongoing oversight, coordination, and day-to-day employee support.
Advisor includes the corresponding Administration and Management services and adds experienced HR guidance, compliance expertise, and support for more complex workplace situations.
Can my level of HR support change as my needs change?
Yes. Right-Sized HR™ is designed around the level of support your organization needs. As those needs change, we can evaluate your services and determine whether a different level of support makes more sense.
