Bevel HR runs the people function for Columbia companies with 10–75 employees, compliance, onboarding, payroll, and employee relations, so founders can get back to the business. Senior HR and people & culture support, starting at $1,800/month.
We work with higher education, healthcare, insurance, and research across Columbia and the surrounding metro. If you have 10–75 employees and HR keeps landing on the founder or ops lead, that's exactly who Bevel HR is built for.
Missouri follows federal wage law with a voter-raised minimum wage and specific wage-payment rules. For Columbia's healthcare and insurance employers, classification, overtime, and multi-state hiring are the compliance work that matters most. If you're also hiring remotely across state lines, the complexity compounds fast. We track state-specific requirements for every client so you're never blindsided by a rule you didn't know applied. See our multi-state hiring support.
Columbia's healthcare, insurance, and university-adjacent employers scale mixed workforces, and HR lands on a founder or office manager until compliance or hiring complexity forces a real system.
Across higher education, healthcare, insurance, and research, Columbia employers reach the same inflection point: too many people for ad-hoc HR, too few for a full department.
On the compliance side, Missouri follows federal wage law with a voter-raised minimum wage and specific wage-payment rules, staying moderate on mandates. For Columbia's university-adjacent, healthcare, and insurance employers, federal classification and overtime, plus multi-state rules as they hire beyond Missouri, carry the load. We keep that handled in the background so it never becomes the thing that blindsides you.
Columbia is a university-and-healthcare town anchored by the University of Missouri and its health system, with a significant insurance and financial-services presence and a research base tied to the university. It sits between Kansas City and St. Louis with a stable, institution-driven economy.
A Columbia company hiring across state lines for back-office or research roles is running multi-state compliance whether or not it planned to, on top of Missouri's wage-payment rules. We keep it straight. See our HR compliance work.
