Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what type of HR support I’ll need?

Don’t worry — we’ll figure it out together. During onboarding, we review your team size, systems, and priorities, then recommend the right level of outsourcing, project support, or benefits management.

Can I start small and scale up?

Yes. Many clients begin with a lighter retainer or a single project and increase support as they grow. HR isn’t one-size-fits-all, so your plan flexes with your business.

Do I have to switch payroll or HR systems to work with you?

No. We work with nearly all major platforms — ADP, Paylocity, Gusto, BambooHR, UKG, Patriot, and more. If you like your system, we’ll meet you there. If not, we’ll recommend one that’s a better fit.

What if I already have an HR person or team on staff?

We can back them up. Our consulting and project support adds capacity for compliance, initiatives, or busy seasons — so nothing falls through the cracks.

What industries do you work with?

We’ve supported nonprofits, biotech, trucking, finance, manufacturing, professional services, technology, and more. If you have employees, we can help.

How does billing work?
  • Outsourced HR & Payroll: monthly retainer based on scope and headcount.
  • Consulting & Support: flat project fees or short-term retainers.
  • Benefits Brokerage: broker-standard compensation (no out-of-pocket cost to explore options).
Do you offer benefits brokerage even if I don’t need HR outsourcing?

Yes. You can engage us for benefits only — we’re licensed brokers in multiple states and can handle plan design, renewals, and employee support independently.

Do you only work in certain states?

No. While we’re proudly based in Maryland, we support businesses nationwide. With active broker licenses and multi-state HR expertise, we keep your company compliant wherever your people are.

How is Rely HR different from a PEO?

A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) becomes the employer of record, which means giving up control over payroll, benefits, and compliance. With Rely HR, you stay the employer — we simply act as your HR department. You keep control; we handle the work.

How is Rely HR different from other HR consultants?

Most consultants give advice or templates and leave execution to you. We roll up our sleeves and integrate with your team — managing HR tasks, systems, and employees directly. That means less guessing, less risk, and more time back for you.
