Common Challenges We Resolve for Employers
Clear answers to the real-world operational and legal dilemmas faced by small and mid-sized business owners every day.
Q: How do you compete with corporate enterprise salaries on a small business budget?
Compensation is more than base pay. We build total rewards packages incorporating flexible time off, performance bonuses, professional development allowances, and health benefits that rival larger employers.
Q: Are you compliant with Massachusetts Equal Pay Act rules?
MEPA strictly prohibits asking candidate salary histories and requires equal pay for comparable work. HR2fit conducts legally privileged pay audits that provide statutory affirmative defense.
Q: How do you handle annual performance reviews and merit increases?
We create transparent, objective salary bands and review rubrics so raises are earned through clear metrics rather than subjective negotiations.
