The company doubled. The HR team didn't.

Past 50 people, the rules change and there are more departments, while the same few people run HR.

New duties at 50

Passing 50 employees brings the FMLA, and 50 full-time employees, part-timers' hours included, bring the ACA employer rules. Every new hire now needs the FMLA notice.

Every department onboards its own way

Sales, operations and finance each have their own first week, and each one lives in a different manager's head.

HR can't chase every hire by hand

With several people starting each month, nobody can say who still owes a signature or a course without asking around.

Run onboarding for every department, with a small HR team

Set it up once per role, then share the work across your HR team.

  1. 1Add your HR teamGive two or three people the HR role. They all see every onboarding and record; billing and roles stay with the Main Admin.
  2. 2Build one plan per role, by departmentPut the handbook with the FMLA notice in Pre-boarding, so every hire signs it before day one.
  3. 3Launch each hire from their role's planEvery onboarding lands on one board, which you filter by department or by who launched it.

A note from the founder
Past 50 people, new hires start every week, in different departments. Each one needs the handbook, the FMLA notice and their training, and two or three people in HR have to keep up. Then a claim comes in, and you have to show what that person signed, and when. I don't want that to take a week of digging. In FirstHR every hire gets their department's plan. Every signature and course sits in their file with its date.
