Manual HR Isn’t Just Slow. It’s a Liability.
When HR is running on spreadsheets, email chains, and tribal knowledge, errors multiply. Records go missing. Deadlines get missed. And when an audit or claim arrives, the documentation trail falls apart exactly when you need it most.
The real problem isn’t that HR is busy — it’s that the wrong work is eating the budget. Every hour spent on data entry is an hour not spent on retention, culture, or talent strategy.
- Personnel files scattered across email, paper, and shared drives
- No consistent recordkeeping for FMLA, ADA, and disciplinary actions
- Manual compliance calendar — deadlines missed under pressure
- HR answering the same policy questions 20 times a week
- Audit exposure from incomplete or missing documentation
How Catapult Solves It
We build the systems, processes, and infrastructure that let HR do real work — not just maintenance work.
HR Systems Audit
Review of current tools, workflows, recordkeeping practices, and compliance tracking against what you actually need — with a prioritized gap-closure plan.
Compliant Recordkeeping
Personnel file structure, retention schedules, and documentation standards built to satisfy DOL, EEOC, and OSHA requirements during an audit.
HR Process Documentation
Written standard operating procedures for recruiting, onboarding, leave administration, disciplinary action, and termination — so nothing depends on one person’s memory.
HR Metrics & Reporting
Turnover rates, time-to-fill, headcount by department, leave usage, and compliance deadlines — consolidated into reporting your leadership team can actually use.
Compliance Calendar Management
Proactive tracking of filing deadlines, notice requirements, renewal dates, and regulatory updates across federal and multi-state requirements.
On-Demand HR Support
Access to certified HR advisors for day-to-day questions, policy interpretation, and situation-specific guidance — without the overhead of additional headcount.
What Our Clients Say
“Before Catapult, our HR person was buried. She was great but spent 80% of her time on paperwork and zero time on strategy. Now she runs talent programs because Catapult handles the admin infrastructure.”
“We got audited by DOL and our records were actually in order — because Catapult built our recordkeeping system two years earlier. That was the best investment we ever made in HR.”
The Cost of HR Chaos
Administrative HR failures create real financial exposure — not just inefficiency.
Missing Personnel Records
Failure to maintain required employment records can result in fines up to $10,000 per violation and undermines your defense in any employment claim.
Missed Compliance Deadlines
Late ACA filings, missed COBRA notices, and expired I-9s carry per-day penalties that stack up quickly without a proactive tracking system.
DOL Audit Exposure
When the Department of Labor audits and finds disorganized records, investigators expand scope and go back further — turning a targeted review into a full investigation.
HR Staff Burnout & Turnover
Experienced HR professionals buried in administrative work leave — and their institutional knowledge walks out with them, costing $30K–$80K to replace.
