Find the Right Solution for Your Business
At Granite State HR Partners, we offer a comprehensive range of HR services designed to meet the unique needs of small businesses. From strategic planning to day-to-day HR operations, we provide personalized support to ensure your business runs smoothly and complies with ever-changing regulations.
We understand that every business is different, which is why we provide flexible, custom solutions to address your specific HR needs. Let us help you navigate the complexities of human resources, so you can focus on what you do best—growing your business.
Employee Files and Recordkeeping
Accurate, compliant employee records are the backbone of effective HR. Small businesses must maintain separate, secure files for personnel documents, medical information, and I-9 forms—each with different storage and retention rules. We help you streamline your recordkeeping practices to meet both federal and New Hampshire requirements, protect sensitive information, and stay organized as your team grows.
Compliance Posters and Notices
Labor law posters aren't just wall décor—they're a legal requirement. Federal and New Hampshire laws mandate that specific notices be visibly posted in the workplace (and accessible to remote employees). We make sure you're displaying the correct, up-to-date posters—covering everything from wage laws to workers’ compensation—so you stay compliant and avoid costly fines.
Hiring and Onboarding
First impressions matter—especially when bringing new talent into your business. A consistent, compliant hiring process ensures you're selecting the right candidates while minimizing legal risks. From clear job descriptions and lawful interview practices to thorough background checks and smooth onboarding, we help you create a professional and welcoming start for every new employee.
Employee Handbook
A well-crafted employee handbook sets the tone for your workplace culture and protects your business. It communicates your policies clearly, outlines expectations, and ensures consistency across your team. We help small businesses develop and update handbooks that reflect both federal and New Hampshire employment laws—covering everything from time off and workplace conduct to state-specific requirements like meal breaks and final pay.
Wage and Hour Compliance
Getting payroll right isn’t just about paying people on time—it’s about staying compliant with complex wage and hour laws. We help small businesses ensure employees are properly classified, overtime is handled correctly, and payroll practices align with both federal and New Hampshire regulations. From timekeeping to final pay, we help you avoid costly errors and keep your compensation practices on solid ground.
Benefits and Leave Administration
Offering benefits is a great way to attract and retain employees—but managing them correctly is key. We guide small businesses through the complexities of benefit compliance, from health insurance and retirement plans to COBRA and New Hampshire’s Paid Family & Medical Leave program. Our approach ensures your leave policies align with federal laws like FMLA (if applicable) while also honoring state-specific protections like maternity leave and Mini-COBRA.
Performance Management
Clear communication and consistent feedback are essential to keeping your team engaged and aligned. A strong performance management process helps employees understand expectations, grow in their roles, and stay accountable. We support small businesses in developing fair, documented practices for evaluations, coaching, and corrective action—ensuring performance issues are addressed promptly and legally, and successes are recognized along the way.
Health and Safety
A safe workplace protects your people—and your business. Whether you're managing office risks or physical job hazards, compliance with health and safety regulations is a must. We help small businesses ensure they have the right policies, training, and reporting procedures in place, including workers’ compensation coverage, emergency planning, and New Hampshire’s Safety Summary Form requirements. Because even one incident can have lasting consequences.
Employee Relations
Strong employee relationships are built on trust, communication, and consistency. We help small businesses create fair, transparent policies for handling workplace concerns—from anti-discrimination and harassment to clear complaint procedures and respectful conflict resolution. Our approach ensures issues are addressed promptly and professionally, with a focus on maintaining a positive, compliant work environment and preventing retaliation.
HR Strategy and Planning
Human Resources isn’t just about compliance—it’s about planning for growth. We help small businesses align their people practices with their business goals through thoughtful workforce planning, organizational structure, and succession strategies. Whether you're navigating turnover, scaling your team, or preparing for future leadership needs, we provide practical guidance to build a resilient and agile workplace.
Management Training
Great managers don’t just happen—they’re developed. We offer practical, engaging management training designed specifically for small business leaders. From handling employee issues and navigating legal responsibilities to building strong teams and improving communication, our sessions give managers the tools they need to lead with confidence, clarity, and compliance. Whether you're training new supervisors or sharpening skills for seasoned leaders, we help your team grow stronger from the top down.

We provide customized customer service training that helps your team communicate effectively, handle challenges with professionalism, and deliver positive experiences every time. Whether your staff interacts with the public, clients, or internal teams, we focus on practical skills that build trust, boost satisfaction, and strengthen your brand.
