Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Griffin Resources different from other HR firms?
We provide a fully integrated approach that combines HR, payroll, recruiting, compliance, and operational strategy. Rather than a single HR generalist, clients gain access to a team of specialists, including senior-level HR leadership, compliance experts, and payroll professionals. Our model is designed to be flexible, scalable, and aligned with each client’s specific business goals
Why would a company outsource HR instead of hiring internally?
Outsourcing HR provides access to a broader range of expertise at a lower cost than building a full internal team. Clients benefit from experienced professionals across multiple disciplines—HR strategy, compliance, payroll, and recruiting—without the overhead of full-time salaries, benefits, and ongoing training.
Does outsourcing HR reduce the personal aspect of HR?
Not at all. We prioritize building strong relationships with both leadership and employees. Many clients view us as an extension of their internal team. We maintain consistent communication, offer one-on-one support when needed, and tailor our approach to fit each organization’s culture.
Can you support companies outside of Tampa or Florida?
Yes. We support clients nationwide in fully remote environments. Our team is experienced in managing multi-state workforces and ensuring compliance across all 50 states.
Can you support the specific needs of my business or industry?
Yes. Our services are customized to each client’s structure, industry, and goals. We work across a wide range of industries and tailor our approach to align with each organization’s operational and workforce needs.
Do you work with both small and large businesses?
Yes. We support small, mid-sized, and growing organizations. Our services are scalable, allowing us to adjust support levels as businesses evolve.
How do I know you can handle my company’s size?
We currently support over 70 clients with varying team sizes and organizational structures. Our team-based model allows us to scale resources appropriately, ensuring each client receives the right level of support regardless of size.
Is the initial consultation free?
Yes. We offer an initial consultation at no cost to understand your needs, evaluate fit, and outline how we can support your organization.
Do you work with both for-profit and non-profit organizations?
Yes. We support both for-profit and non-profit organizations and tailor our approach based on the unique operational and compliance needs of each.
Do you only handle HR administration, or do you support payroll and accounting functions as well?
We provide full-service payroll administration, including processing, compliance, and reporting. While we do not prepare taxes, we support payroll-related tax coordination and work alongside accountants or financial partners to ensure accuracy and alignment.
Do you file taxes or support tax filings?
We do not directly file taxes; however, we support payroll tax coordination through platforms like Gusto and collaborate with accounting professionals to ensure proper filings and compliance.
Do you have experience with DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion)?
Yes. We support organizations in developing and implementing DEI initiatives, including policy development, training, and inclusive hiring practices. We are committed to helping clients foster equitable and inclusive workplace environments.
What is your approach to legal compliance and risk management?
We take a proactive approach to compliance by monitoring federal and state labor law updates, maintaining up-to-date policies, and working with employment law partners when needed. This helps minimize risk and ensures our clients remain compliant as regulations evolve.
How do you ensure fair and compliant recruiting practices?
We follow structured recruiting processes that promote consistency, fairness, and compliance. This includes standardized job descriptions, objective screening criteria, and alignment with equal employment opportunity guidelines.
Is your work done in-house, or do you use AI?
Our services are led and managed by experienced HR professionals. While we may leverage technology to improve efficiency, all client work, decision-making, and strategy are handled by our internal team to ensure accuracy, compliance, and a personalized approach.
Do you create custom employee handbooks or use templates?
We develop customized employee handbooks using a structured process. While we start with legally vetted templates for compliance, each handbook is tailored to reflect the client’s policies, culture, and operational needs.
Can you support compliance in all states?
Yes. We support clients across all 50 states. Our compliance specialist monitors state-specific regulations and develops custom policies and addendums to ensure each client remains compliant in every applicable jurisdiction.
How do your services work on a day-to-day basis?
Clients are supported through a team-based model with a dedicated point of contact. We handle ongoing HR tasks such as employee relations, payroll, compliance updates, recruiting, and strategic initiatives. Regular check-ins and structured workflows ensure consistent communication, accountability, and alignment with business goals.
What does onboarding, offboarding, and recruiting support include?
We manage the full employee lifecycle, including job descriptions, recruitment strategy, candidate screening, onboarding processes, and compliant offboarding procedures. Our goal is to create a seamless and professional experience for both employers and employees.
