How the score works

What matters for small businesses

  1. Prebuilt compliance templates

    The owner or office manager cannot build forms from scratch.

  2. Payroll sync

    Re-keying new-hire data into payroll is a common source of errors.

  3. Mobile-friendly new-hire experience

    Many new hires complete tasks on a phone.

  4. Pricing that scales with hires

    A fixed base fee can exceed the value at low volume.
