What is fractional HR?
Fractional HR gives you an experienced HR leader for a set number of hours each month. You get senior guidance on compliance, people strategy and hiring without the salary, benefits and overhead of a full-time HR executive.
When does a growing company need fractional HR?
Common triggers include passing 50 employees, when the federal FMLA and Affordable Care Act employer requirements typically begin to apply, opening new locations or states, a rise in employee relations issues, or a CEO spending too much time on HR.
How is fractional HR different from a PEO?
A PEO becomes a co-employer and bundles payroll and benefits. Fractional HR does not change who employs your people. You keep your own payroll, benefits and culture, and gain a senior HR partner who advises and executes alongside your team.
Does fractional HR include recruiting?
Yes. Every UBC fractional HR plan includes passive talent engagement hires each year, so HR and hiring work from the same plan.
How much does fractional HR cost?
UBC fractional HR plans range from $1,250 to $6,500 per month depending on hours and scope. Additional hours are billed from $225 to $275 per hour based on your plan.
Do you offer an HR audit?
Yes. Qualified businesses with five or more employees can request a free HR audit to identify compliance gaps and priorities before choosing a plan.
