Contractor management for project work

When your business engages independent professionals for defined projects, we handle onboarding, agreements and payment.

Project work, not shift work

This service is for project work done by people who run their own business. Shift work at your site, such as cashier, stocking, housekeeping or front-desk roles, is always done by W-2 employees, never contractors.

J-1 and H-2B participants are never contractors. Whether an engagement suits a contractor arrangement is decided case by case, with advice, before any work starts.

What the service handles

  • Engagement review

    We check that the work is a genuine, defined project before anything is agreed.

  • Agreements

    Written agreements that set out the project, timeline and payment.

  • Invoices and payment

    Contractor invoices processed and paid on the agreed terms.

  • Year-end records

    Payment records and year-end forms kept organized.

Typical engagements

  • HR, compliance or training projects
  • Recruiting projects on a project fee
  • Workforce planning and scheduling studies
  • Translation and interpretation work

How it works

  1. Step 1: Describe the project

    The outcome, the timeline and the kind of specialist you need.

  2. Step 2: We review the engagement

    We check it is genuine project work before anything is agreed.

  3. Step 3: We onboard and pay

    Agreements, invoices and payments handled, with the records kept.

Why Alto HR

A workforce partner that has worked the floor

  • Built by store operators

    Founded by former big-box retail operators. We know the store floor, not just recruiting.

  • Local, not remote

    Our office is in Miramar Beach. We can meet you in person and walk your store.

  • Ready on day one

    Associates are screened and prepared before their first shift, so your managers are not starting from zero.

  • We carry the paperwork

    Alto associates are our W-2 employees. We run their pay, tax forms and employment records.

What a client says

The team at Alto HR understands retail. They’ve worked the floor themselves. That shows in every associate they send us: no learning curve, just results from day one.
