Tahoe-rooted · California compliance

HR that holds upwhen it matters.

I asked a small business owner what she does when an employee brings a complicated HR issue. She laughed: “I panic, then figure it out.” If you’ve been the person Googling employment law at 9pm, I built TruckeeHR for you — I walk you through it in 15 minutes, from panicking to confident.

FAQ

Before you book.

Common questions from Tahoe and California employers.

TruckeeHR is fractional HR — not SaaS tiers. We scope after a 15-min review. Software (CairnHR) is $19.99/mo if you want it.
We run a gap analysis on your handbook, policies, and training records. Most CA employers have at least 3 gaps they don't know about.
Handbook review, policy alignment with CA law (ADA, FMLA/CFRA, FLSA, Wage & Hour), WVPP status, and training completion tracking.
TEA went from gap analysis to zero findings in 14 days. Most clients are audit-ready within 2-3 weeks depending on scope.
That's exactly why we exist. Fractional HR means you get a full HR department without hiring one. Day-to-day support included.
We build your Violence Prevention Plan, train all staff, and track completion. TEA: 80 staff, 100% trained, 0 findings.

Let's make sure it holds up.
