Remote & multi-state

HR for remote teams spread across many states.

Every new state you hire in adds payroll tax registrations, its own paid-leave and final-pay rules, notices and, increasingly, salary-range disclosure requirements. Remote-first startups often find out about them one penalty letter at a time.

We set up a multi-state HR operation that stays compliant as you hire, and remote policies that keep a distributed team working well.

What we set up

  • A state-by-state register of where you employ people and what each state requires
  • Registration workflow for each new state with your payroll provider
  • Handbook state addenda: paid sick leave, family leave, final pay, expense reimbursement
  • Pay-transparency process for job postings and internal ranges
  • Remote work, equipment and expense policies
  • Manager guidance for distributed teams
