HR at most firms under 50 people isn't a department. It's a pile of tasks split between the owner, the office manager, and a filing cabinet. Resumes eat your evenings, payroll goes out with a quiet prayer, and the compliance paperwork that could cost you six figures sits untouched until an auditor asks.

This guide gives you four named frameworks you can build in a week each: the Three-Screen Hiring Filter that cuts hiring from 40 hours to under 10, the Day One Machine that makes onboarding run itself, the Payroll Truth Check that catches errors before you hit submit, and the Compliance Calendar that never forgets a deadline. Each comes with concrete steps, real examples from firms like yours, and the watch-outs that keep you out of legal trouble.

Montalvo Corp builds AI systems for real businesses: law firms, medical practices, trades, financial advisors, and churches. No developer talk, no bloated software pitch. Written systems, AI doing the repetitive 80 percent, and you making every decision that matters.
