Question 1

What is fractional HR support?

Accepted Answer

Fractional HR support gives your business access to experienced HR help without adding a full-time HR position. Seneca HR can assist with a defined project, manage a specialized function, or provide ongoing support as your needs change.

Question 2

Will I work directly with Ken?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seneca HR is a solo practice. You work directly with Ken—not a call center, junior consultant, or rotating service team.

Question 3

What kinds of Maine businesses do you support?

Accepted Answer

Seneca HR works with Maine small businesses, nonprofits, professional practices, restaurants, and other employers that need experienced HR capacity without building a full internal department.

Question 4

Do you work with businesses outside Maine?

Accepted Answer

No. Seneca HR focuses exclusively on Maine employers so the guidance stays grounded in Maine workplaces, communities, and employment requirements.

Question 5

Can I choose just one HR service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Services can be selected cafeteria-style, combined into a defined project, or included in an ongoing fractional support arrangement. A conversation with Ken is the best way to determine the right scope.

Question 6

Do you fully administer ADA accommodation cases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seneca HR can manage the interactive process from intake and medical documentation through employee dialogue, accommodation exploration, decision documentation, implementation, and follow-up. The employer retains final decision-making authority.

Question 7

Do you serve as the leave administrator?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Seneca HR can manage leave cases from the first report through return to work, including notices, certifications, deadlines, intermittent-leave tracking, coordination with payroll and managers, and overlapping accommodation obligations.

Question 8

How are services priced?

Accepted Answer

The scope and pricing are established after an initial conversation because the level of support varies by situation. You will know the proposed arrangement before work begins.

Question 9

Is Seneca HR a law firm?

Accepted Answer

No. Seneca HR provides practical HR consulting and administration, not legal representation or legal advice. When a matter requires an attorney, Ken can help identify that need and work alongside your counsel.

Question 10

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Use the Contact page or schedule a phone or Zoom call. Share what is happening, even if you are not yet sure which service you need, and Ken will help identify a practical next step.
