Employment law can be tricky. It can be even trickier in states like California, New York, and New Jersey, We are certified in California labor law, specialized in NY and NJ, and experienced in all states. Noncompliance with employment law is one of the biggest legal pitfalls a small business may face.
We work with small businesses in most industries including: professional services, tech, manufacturing and food manufacturing, health care, non-profits, entertainment, construction, cannabis, and security, to name a few
Many of our small businesses choose us because we’re one of the best outsourced HR companies available. They need an HR pro to handle compliance and employee relations, but it doesn’t make sense to hire a full-time HR expert at over $100,000/year for their small business, yet. This is where we come in. We can either operate as a consulting company (answering questions and creating/reviewing policies) or we can operate as your full outsourced HR department.
As one of the most trusted HR outsourcing companies, we can create a compliant HR infrastructure for your business, be your go to expert to call when you have a question, help your current HR team, provide interim HR support, or be your entire HR department.
Make sure your practices and policies minimize, not increase, risk.
Operating a business is expensive and wrought with legal potholes that can trip up any company. Sometimes, oftentimes, it can be a headache. You do it because you love it and perhaps, because it is a skill that, after years of experience and practice and uphill battles, you have become an expert. You don’t need more drama to keep you from doing what you love and growing your business.
Give it to us, one of the best outsourced HR companies and we will handle it. Free up your time and minimize your headache (not to mention increase profit and minimize risk, which are pretty great features of great HR strategy!)
At SweeterHR, we make it easy to get the HR help you need—whether you want a fully outsourced HR department or behind-the-scenes expert advice.
Need a go-to HR expert for those “Wait… what?” moments? Our HR Consulting plan gives business owners, managers, and admins on-call support from certified, Labor Compliance-savvy HR pros—without handing over employee communications.

Our founder used to bring candy when she traveled to other divisions in her previous company. She gave it away to employees to initiate positive interaction (who doesn’t like candy, right?). One of the Partners at the firm said it was “un-professional”. She disagreed. She believes it is fun, like HR can be. She knew there was a sweeter way to deliver HR.
HR is often seen as mundane, unexciting, and transactional. HR strategy is so much more and should never be boring! It is proactive, dealing with human behavior, and helps people, businesses, and employees soar!
Everything your business needs to create a compliant HR infrastructure
so you can grow! HR Audit, Employee Handbook, Job Description
Creation, Hiring Kit, Termination Kit, State and Federal Law Review,
