Solving Clients’ Biggest HR Issues with Payentry’s HR Services

by Brett Strauss, Esq., Vice President of HR Services

Human Resources leaders are the unsung heroes of modern workplaces. We juggle compliance, culture, hiring, training, benefits, and more. But even the most experienced HR teams are facing more complexity than ever before including labor law changes, remote work, burnout, and pressure to do more with fewer resources.

At Payentry, we hear this every day from clients across industries and across the country. That’s why we’ve built our HR Services division to be more than just support. We’re a true partner in solving the biggest HR challenges companies face today.

Here’s how we’re helping businesses simplify and strengthen their HR operations in 2025 and beyond.

Challenge #1: Staying Compliant with Constantly Changing Laws

The Problem:
HR teams are overwhelmed by shifting labor laws, state-specific and regional regulations, wage updates, and ever-changing employee classification rules.

How Payentry Helps:

• Live HR Support: Get real-time answers from certified HR experts.
• Custom Compliance Audits: We help you spot risk areas in your policies and processes.
• Employee Handbook Development: Updated for current state and federal laws.
• Legislative Alerts: Stay informed without digging through legal jargon.

Real Impact: One client avoided a potential $80,000 misclassification penalty after a Payentry HR advisor flagged issues in their contractor onboarding process.

Challenge #2: Inefficient Hiring and Onboarding

The Problem:
Hiring great talent is hard. Onboarding them efficiently is even harder, especially when processes are manual or inconsistent.

How Payentry Helps:

• Guided job description templates and interview planning.
• Offer letter best practices and compliance support.
• Structured onboarding plans that reinforce culture, compliance, and retention.
• Integration with Payentry’s payroll and timekeeping systems for a smooth new-hire experience.

Bonus: A seamless onboarding process reduces new-hire turnover, ensures compliance, and improves engagement from day one.

Challenge #3: Poor Documentation and HR Recordkeeping

The Problem:
A missing performance note or inconsistent disciplinary record can expose your company to risk in the event of a dispute or unemployment claim.

How Payentry Helps:

• Customizable HR templates for performance reviews, corrective actions, and terminations.
• Guidance on documentation best practices to help you protect your business.
• Ongoing HR coaching to ensure consistent processes.

Tip: With the right documentation in place, you reduce legal exposure and streamline HR decision-making.

Challenge #4: Handling Tough Employee Relations Issues

The Problem:
Employee conflict, misconduct, or even simple misunderstandings can quickly escalate. HR teams often lack backup when navigating these sensitive situations.

How Payentry Helps:

• Confidential advice on disciplinary actions, investigations, and terminations.
• Support scripting conversations to help managers handle tough discussions professionally.
• EEOC and FMLA guidance to protect your company and employees alike.

Peace of mind: We help HR leaders handle difficult moments with fairness, empathy, and legal awareness to help ensure the best outcome for all involved.

Challenge #5: Wearing Too Many Hats with Too Little Time

The Problem:
Many HR managers are trying to manage compliance, benefits, hiring, culture, and leadership support all at once.

How Payentry Helps:

• Fractional HR support to expand your team when you need it.
• HR project consulting for audits, policy creation, org development and more.
• Ongoing access to expert advisors so you’re never stuck facing issues alone.

Whether you’re building an HR function from scratch or looking to scale, Payentry becomes your on-demand HR department.
