EffortlessHR, Inc.is an affordable, comprehensive Internet HR program designed for small businesses. EffortlessHR was designed to assist the busy owner or small HR Department with the multitude of HR functions, providing employee management and data collection, access to Federal and State Laws, How To Guides, over 300 forms, and a great report writer.
Why are these functions important? Most small businesses do not have a need for a full time human resource department or they may have an individual assigned to handle the company HR needs but may not be fully versed in what needs to be done. Entrepreneurs usually come from the corporate arena, where if they had a specific need, they picked up the phone and asked HR to handle it. They are now the HR department or they need to know how to handle "it", whatever "it" is.
Having information available at their fingertips, 24/7, allows the business to better manage their employees and their time. Our goal is to help small business reduce risk by staying in compliance, save time and save money, thus allowing them to be able to spend more time in revenue producing activities.
