Frequently asked questions

What does an HR coordinator do, and what does an HR executive do?
An HR coordinator handles the day-to-day: attendance, payroll inputs, employee files, letters and routine questions. An HR executive does all of that and also advises you on policies, performance and people issues. Solo includes an HR coordinator for 5 hours a week, Startup an HR executive for 14 hours a week, and Growth a dedicated HR executive for 40 hours a week.
Do you pay our salaries?
No. People Desk processes your payroll; you pay salaries from your own account. If you need someone else to employ and pay your team, that's Employer of Record (EOR), quoted separately.
How does hiring work on People Desk?
Every plan includes senior hiring each quarter: 1 role on Solo, 2 on Startup and 3 on Growth. Need more? Extra roles run at normal Start and Drive prices, and Hunt is 25% off for People Desk clients.
Can we switch plans?
Yes, upgrade any time. Anything you've prepaid and any unused HR hours count as a discount on your new plan.
What do you need from us?
A 20-minute call, then your employee list, current contracts, salary details and how you run payroll and WPS today. We take it from there.
Do you handle PRO and visa services?
Yes, as an add-on to any plan. PRO and visa services are quoted separately.
