Bevel HR runs the people function for Seattle 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 cloud and software, e-commerce and logistics, aerospace, biotech, and gaming across the Seattle 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.
Washington has Paid Family and Medical Leave (employer contributions), statewide paid sick leave, pay-transparency in postings, and strong non-compete restrictions. Seattle adds its own higher minimum wage, Paid Sick and Safe Time, secure-scheduling, and independent-contractor-protection ordinances. The Seattle city layer is where small employers most often fall short. 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 and HR compliance services.
Seattle's economy has its own texture, and it drives the HR work. Seattle's cloud, e-commerce, and aerospace giants set the pace, but it's the small firms in their orbit that get caught between Washington State law and Seattle's own aggressive ordinances.
We work with cloud and software, e-commerce and logistics, aerospace, biotech, and gaming, the kinds of Seattle-area employers where headcount has outrun the systems meant to support it.
Compliance is the quiet risk. Washington has Paid Family and Medical Leave (employer contributions), statewide paid sick leave, pay-transparency in postings, and strong non-compete restrictions. Seattle adds its own higher minimum wage, Paid Sick and Safe Time, secure-scheduling, and independent-contractor-protection ordinances. The Seattle city layer is where small employers most often fall short. We track it continuously so Seattle founders don't have to.
Seattle is a tech giant's hometown several times over (Amazon and Microsoft anchor the region), with a deep cloud, e-commerce, and software economy, aerospace heritage in Boeing, a major port, and a strong biotech and global-health sector.
Washington is strongly employee-protective and Seattle is stricter still: the state has paid family and medical leave, mandatory sick time, a high minimum wage, and Seattle layers on its own higher minimum wage, secure-scheduling rules, and the new app-based and gig-worker protections. No state income tax, but the labor-law load is heavy.
A Seattle company faces Washington's strict rules plus the city's own higher minimum wage and scheduling ordinances, often on the same employee. We keep both layers straight. See HR compliance.
