What is fractional HR?

Senior HR that knows field labor. Part-time commitment.

Fractional HR means a senior HR professional embeds with your company on a part-time monthly retainer — not a vendor, not a temp. They know your team, your situation, and your goals.

You get the same HR leadership a 500-person company has — at the cost that makes sense for a 20-person company. Most small businesses pay between $1,800 and $6,500/month for fractional HR, compared to $70,000–$90,000 per year fully loaded for a full-time hire.

Who we work with

Sound familiar?

We work with growing companies across every industry — and we go especially deep where HR gets messy. Construction, trades, and industrial operators deal with field crews across state lines, prevailing wage, workers comp, and staffing-agency labor. That operational, compliance-heavy work is our specialty. But if you have 10–75 employees and HR keeps landing on you, we can help regardless of what you do.

  • 01Crews in multiple states mean payroll tax, registration, and labor law obligations in every one. Most operators find out they are non-compliant after the fact, not before.
  • 02Workers comp and safety documentation pile up fast with field labor. One gap in the paper trail turns a claim into a real problem.
  • 03Prevailing wage and certified payroll on public jobs is unforgiving. Get the fringe calculations or reporting wrong and it costs you the contract.
  • 04Staffing-agency and blended labor creates classification risk. Who is an employee, who is a contractor, and who is the agency’s problem is rarely as clear as it should be.
  • 05A full-time HR hire doesn’t make sense yet. $70–80k fully loaded for someone junior is a lot for a company that needs deep field-labor expertise a few days a month.

Common questions

Everything founders ask before they book a call.

What exactly is fractional HR?

+
Fractional HR means you get a senior HR professional embedded in your company on a part-time retainer. Not a vendor, not a temp. They know your team, your culture, your situation. The difference from hiring someone full-time: a $70k HR manager is usually junior. Your fractional HR partner has 10+ years of experience across multiple companies, costs $1,800–6,500/month, and you can scale up or down as you need.

How much does it cost?

+
Retainers start at $1,800/month for foundational support and go up to $6,500/month for an embedded fractional CHRO. Most clients at 15–40 employees land on the Growth package at $3,500/month — roughly 25% of the cost of a full-time HR hire when you factor in salary, benefits, payroll taxes, and recruiting.

When should we start using fractional HR?

+
The clearest signal is when HR takes more than 5 hours a week away from the owner or ops lead. Other triggers: you just picked up work in a new state, you’re bidding public jobs with prevailing wage, a workers comp claim exposed a documentation gap, or you’re running blended agency and direct labor.

What industries do you work with?

+
All of them. We work with small and mid-size businesses across tech, professional services, clean energy, healthcare, construction, consumer brands, retail, manufacturing, and more. If you have 10–75 employees and HR is landing on the founder, we can help regardless of what you sell.

Do you work with companies outside Utah?

+
Yes — we’re fully remote and serve clients nationwide. We work with businesses in every major market: Austin, Denver, San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, Chicago, and everywhere in between.

What’s included in the free HR Assessment?

+
A 30-minute call where we ask about your current HR setup, team size, and biggest pain points. You leave with at least one concrete recommendation you can act on immediately — regardless of whether you engage us. About 60% of people who take the assessment become clients. The other 40% get free advice.

About Bevel HR

HR experience where it actually counts.

Bevel HR is run by David, an HR professional who has handled the hard stuff — field crews and multi-state hourly labor, ADP payroll at scale, plus HR across tech, clean energy, and consumer brands. This is not theoretical HR. It is real operational, compliance-heavy work. Every client gets that experience directly, not delegated to a junior hire.

Field crew HR & multi-state payroll — roofing & solar
ADP payroll at scale — hourly & field workforce
HR leadership across Chime, Tebra & Estée Lauder
HR at Kota Energy Group — solar field operations
HR at PrincePerelson — Recruiting firm
Certified on Gusto, Rippling & BambooHR
“Most HR consultants have never handled a real operational mess. That’s the difference.”

We’ve managed field installer crews, multi-state hourly payroll, workers comp exposure, and the compliance headaches that come with labor spread across job sites. We bring that specific experience to every engagement — and we move at the pace your operation moves.

Every client at Bevel HR works directly with David — not a junior HR coordinator, not a subcontracted generalist. You get someone who understands field labor on every call.
