Q: If I upgrade today, can I get HR guidance right away?
A: Yes. Primary admins, Full Access admins, and HR and onboarding admins with HR Resources permission get access immediately after you upgrade.
Q: Can I get a sample employee handbook before I upgrade?
A: No. The Employee Handbook tool builds your handbook from your state, employee count, and the choices you make as an admin. Because every handbook is different, we cannot supply a single sample.
Q: I received a form from the state (unemployment, disability, etc.). Will an HR Expert fill it out for me?
A: No. HR Experts provide advice and guidance. They do not complete forms on your company's behalf.
