What We Do

Hiring a Human Resource Manager to navigate your business through the web of laws can be very expensive and time consuming. Sage Solutions can provide your start-up, or small to medium-sized business, with just the right services you need without breaking the bank.

We focus on three distinct services offerings: 1. Compliance Solutions, 2. Human Resource Solutions, and 3. Individual Services Solutions.

COMPLIANCE SERVICES
The path to compliance starts with our complimentary audit which details your strengths and weaknesses. We then partner with your administrative personnel to provide comprehensive, yet simple, tool kits for compliance with many of the reporting requirements. From there, we assist with improving your audit score, offering 3 levels of monthly subscription services to meet your business needs and budget. As your audit score improves, your risk level improves, providing you better peace of mind.

HUMAN RESOURCES SOLUTIONS
In addition to the compliance services above, we can provide highly customized HR subscriptions services such as hiring, investigations, employee handbooks and the like. Simply purchase the subscriptions hours you need to meet your human resource needs.

INDIVIDUAL SERVICES SOLUTIONS
Our individual services allow you to purchase only the HR services that you need while maintaining a tight budget. Services include helping you find and acquire new talent, diversifying your workforce, completing necessary HR paperwork, and creating employee handbooks and documents that will help keep you compliant with all the state and federal employment laws. Our goal is to streamline many of the most challenging HR management tasks with our individual services. Whether you have questions about compliance or human capital management, we have the answers you need.

Sage Solutions was formed by 3 executives with decades of business experience, who are always ready to roll up their sleeves and get the work done so you don't have to.
