HR for Small Businesses
You Don't Need a Full HR Department. You Need PSC.
Compliance, hiring, and employee relations support built for small businesses in Massachusetts — sized, priced, and scoped for teams without a dedicated HR person.
Right now, HR is probably someone's "other duties as assigned"
At most small businesses, HR isn't a department — it's the owner, the office manager, or whoever has five spare minutes. That works until it doesn't: a leave request nobody knows how to handle, a handbook that hasn't been touched in years, or a hire that goes sideways because there was no real process behind it.
PSC plugs in exactly where you need it — without the cost or commitment of a full-time HR hire.
Built for How Small Businesses Actually Run
Support that scales with your headcount, not against it
Pay for What You Need
No retainer minimums built for enterprise budgets — start with a single project and add support only as it makes sense.
Real Compliance Coverage
Small businesses carry the same federal and Massachusetts compliance exposure as larger ones — handbooks, leave law, and wage rules handled correctly.
One Point of Contact
You work directly with Natalie — no account managers, no ticket queue, no relearning your business every time.
Common questions from small business owners
How small is too small for this?
If you have even one employee, you have HR compliance obligations. PSC works with businesses at exactly this stage — often before they'd consider hiring dedicated HR help.
What if we're not ready for ongoing support?
Most small-business engagements start as a single, defined project — a handbook, an offer letter template, a compliance check — with no obligation beyond that.
Can you help us hire our first employee?
Yes — job descriptions, offer letters, background checks, and I-9 compliance are exactly the kind of "first hire" work PSC handles regularly.
Do you understand small-business budgets?
Every engagement is scoped and quoted upfront specifically for what a small business needs — not a package built for a 200-person company.
