Simple. Transparent. Predictable.

Competitors like to charge a "flat" fee. But in most cases, flat fees aren't quite so flat. HR Options takes a different approach. We charge a straightforward service fee based on payroll.

No hidden markups
No bundled employment costs
No mystery calculations

Employer taxes, statutory obligations, insurance costs, and other employment expenses are separately identified, so you see exactly what you're paying for and why.

A low monthly fee doesn't necessarily mean a lower employment cost.

When evaluating an Employer of Record provider, the most important question isn't simply, "What's the monthly fee?"

The better question is: "Can I clearly see where every employment dollar goes?"

Many EOR providers promote a flat Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) fee, but the true cost of employment often includes additional taxes, insurance obligations, statutory costs, and administrative expenses that may not be clearly identified. At HR Options, every cost category is visible and every charge has a purpose.

The invoice test

Ask any EOR provider these questions:

  • How much of my invoice is your actual service fee?
  • How much is employer tax?
  • How much is workers' compensation?
  • How much is insurance?
  • How much is government remittances?

If those answers aren't clear, you may not know your true employment cost. At HR Options, every category is identified, documented, and available for review.

Why we price differently

Employment isn't one-size-fits-all. The complexity of workforce administration, compliance obligations, payroll support, employee relations, and risk management often scales alongside the workforce being supported.

Rather than charging the same flat fee for every employee regardless of compensation, HR Options aligns its service fee with the workforce we manage while maintaining complete visibility into every employment-related cost. The result is a pricing model built around transparency, accountability, and long-term partnership.
