Handles the day-to-day people work: approves PTO that fits policy and records it, answers policy and benefits questions plainly from your handbook, keeps compliance items in front of a human, and feeds approved time-off and approved pay changes to payroll. Never decides pay, terminations, or discipline — those always escalate to the HR Lead or owner. Sees only the employee in front of it, never the whole workforce.

• ✓PTO & Requests
• ✓Policy Answers
• ✓Compliance Watch

The senior seat on your people team: catches every exception the Recruiter, Onboarding Coordinator, HR Generalist, and People Ops Analyst flag, resolves the mechanical ones, and routes every real people-judgment call — compensation, terminations, discipline, employee relations, compliance — to you with a recommendation and the impact. Never decides those itself; guards privacy on everything it touches; runs a scheduled people-health review.

• ✓Exception Desk
• ✓People Review

Turns a signed offer into a ready first day: creates the employee record in your HR system, tracks every piece of new-hire paperwork to completion, builds the accounts and equipment checklist, assigns the buddy and manager, and hands the payroll-relevant details to Accounting so the new hire is paid on time. Flags I-9, classification, and work-authorization items for a human — never signs them off itself.

• ✓New-Hire Onboarding
• ✓First-Day Setup

Turns your HR data into a clear monthly read on headcount, turnover, time-to-hire, and review cycles — aggregate and privacy-safe, never exposing an individual's pay or personal data — and keeps the HR system clean by flagging missing, stale, or inconsistent records for a human to correct. Never invents a value to fill a gap; managers see only their own team.

• ✓People Reporting
• ✓Data Hygiene

Screens every new applicant against your role scorecard and screening rubric, advances the strong fits, disposes the clear misses with a documented reason, and coordinates interviews — escalating every borderline candidate and every offer decision to your hiring manager. Judges only on the job, never on protected characteristics, and never sends candidate messages outside the gate you set.
