Stop Drowning in Admin.
Lead Your People Strategy.
HR managers are hired to build culture, retain top talent, and drive executive workforce planning. Instead, you're trapped 35 hours a week auditing bi-weekly timesheets, chasing I-9 verification uploads, updating job codes across three platforms, and coordinating hardware logistics. Get a specialized HR Manager Support Virtual Assistant backed by a Dedicated Project Manager to automate your entire administrative lifecycleβfor a flat $6β$7/hour.
Proficient in Leading HRIS, Payroll, ATS & Performance Management Stacks
Engineered for Seamless People Operations
In growing organizations, HR Managers face burnout because they are caught between executive people strategy and administrative execution. When paperwork slips, compliance risks surge and employee trust drops. Our managed VAs run the tedious administrative operations that keep your department flawless.
End-to-End Onboarding Administration
A poor first week ruins employee retention. Your VA triggers welcome workflows in your HRIS, tracks I-9 verification document collection, monitors background checks via Checkr, coordinates laptop shipments with IT, and books Day 1 manager syncs.
HRIS Database Architecture & Record Hygiene
Messy data corrupts payroll and reporting. Your assistant maintains absolute hygiene in BambooHR, Workday, or Rippling: processing title changes, manager reassignments, compensation band adjustments, and department transfers with zero record gaps.
Bi-Weekly Payroll Pre-Flight Reconciliation
Payroll mistakes destroy team morale. Your VA aggregates time-tracking data across Harvest, Toggl, or clock-in portals, verifies overtime and unpaid meal breaks, matches commissions and bonuses against manager approvals, and preps error-free files for Gusto or ADP.
Leave of Absence, FMLA & PTO Auditing
Calculating leave across multi-state workforces is an operational headache. Your assistant tracks PTO rollover policies, calculates bereavement and parental leave balances, logs FMLA paperwork, and keeps management informed on team availability.
Performance Review Cycle Coordination
Quarterly reviews shouldn't drag on for six weeks. Your assistant configures evaluation cycles in Lattice, 15Five, or Culture Amp, maps self-and-peer review timelines, monitors submission rates, and sends polite automated nudges to delinquent managers.
Offboarding Compliance & Asset Revocation
Protecting company IP during exits. Your VA coordinates severance letter execution via DocuSign, generates return shipping labels for company hardware, books exit interview slots, and coordinates with IT for scheduled account depairing.
The Sagedoer Managed People Operations Advantage
Unmanaged freelance contractors treat employee personnel records like generic spreadsheets. They fail to understand compliance liabilities, PTO accrual rules, or data privacy. Here is why our managed infrastructure protects your company.

"I was a solo HR department of one for a 160-person tech company. I spent all my time in Rippling and Gusto answering PTO questions and onboarding new hires. My Sagedoer VA took over the entire admin queueβI finally have time to build our manager training program!"
Rachel S. Director of People, CloudScale Tech"Timesheet reconciliation used to take me 6 hours every alternate Monday. Our Sagedoer assistant catches every missed break, aligns overtime hours with managers, and stages Gusto flawlessly. The dedicated PM makes this completely worry-free."
Marcus T. VP of Operations, Heritage Logistics"When our annual performance review cycle rolled around in Lattice, our VA tracked completions, nudged managers, and prepared executive summaries. We reached 100% review completion for the first time in company history."
Kira V. Head of People Operations, MetricWave"We used to spend $4,500/month on an in-house HR coordinator who had high turnover. Switching to Sagedoer at $6/hour full-time cut our operational overhead by over $3,000 every single month while improving data accuracy."

Julian B. Chief Operating Officer, Veloce BrandsFrequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our HR Manager Support virtual assistant operations.
What is the difference between an HR Consulting VA and an HR Manager Support VA?
An HR Consulting VA generally supports independent advisory consultancies with client deliverable templates, recruiting pipelines, and external audit research. An HR Manager Support VA operates as the internal operational right hand to an in-house HR Director or People Ops teamβmanaging your day-to-day employee lifecycle: onboarding workflows, HRIS record maintenance, leave tracking, timesheet reconciliations, and review cycle administration.
How do you ensure sensitive employee compensation and PII data security?
Security and employee confidentiality are non-negotiable. All Sagedoer team members sign binding corporate Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your assistant accesses your platforms strictly through role-restricted profiles (such as standard admin or onboarding clerk permissions in BambooHR or Rippling) or secure remote desktops. Sensitive documents like background checks, social security numbers, and salary data are never downloaded or stored on local hardware.
Can the VA stage and reconcile timesheets for our bi-weekly payroll?
Yes. Timesheet pre-flight reconciliation is one of our most requested workflows. Your VA aggregates hours across your clock-in software, verifies manager sign-offs, checks for overtime compliance, cross-checks approved vacation time, and stages the payroll run in Gusto, Rippling, or ADP. Your internal leadership retains final sign-off and fund release authority.
What HRIS, ATS, and Performance tools can your assistants use?
Our VAs have extensive experience across the modern people operations stack, including BambooHR, Rippling, Workday, Gusto, ADP Workforce Now, Lattice, 15Five, Culture Amp, Greenhouse, Lever, Checkr, and Google Workspace.
