The floor team

The services take the place of people you would otherwise hire.

Four named specialists, assigned to your company. They come to the shop. That is not a metaphor. It is the difference between a policy and a program.

Risk specialist reviewing a California job site

01 · Replaces a safety manager · typically $92,000 loaded

Risk specialist

A dedicated risk specialist comes to your workplace — not a call-center recording. They walk the floor, write the action plan, train supervisors, and stay on the claim if someone gets hurt. The point is not a binder of safety posters. The point is fewer injuries and a better experience modifier, which is what actually moves your rate.

  • On-site hazard walks and written action plans
  • PPE, equipment, and job-hazard reviews
  • Supervisor training and toolbox talks
  • Injury response, claims, and return-to-work
  • Loss-trend analysis against your class codes
HR specialist meeting with employees in a break room

02 · Replaces a hr generalist · typically $78,000 loaded

HR compliance specialist

Most owners become the HR department by accident. The Fieldside HR specialist takes the work you should not be improvising: handbooks, classifications, onboarding, leave, discipline, and the conversations that get shops sued. They know California. They come to you.

  • Handbook, policies, and onboarding documents
  • Wage-and-hour and classification guidance
  • Employee relations, leave, and accommodations
  • Multi-state support if you cross a border
  • Termination and documentation when it comes to that
Payroll specialist working at a small-business desk

03 · Replaces a payroll administrator · typically $64,000 loaded

Payroll specialist

Payroll is required with Fieldside because workers’ compensation premiums are calculated from payroll. Running them together is how deposits and year-end audits disappear. You get a specialist who runs the cycle, files the taxes, and can tell you what labor actually costs — not a self-serve app you babysit at 11 p.m.

  • Full-cycle payroll, deductions, and filings
  • Federal, state, and local taxes, W-2s and 1099s
  • Pay-as-you-go work comp — no deposit, no year-end audit
  • Labor-cost reporting and forecasting
  • Employee portal for paystubs and time-off
Business consultant reviewing labor costs in a fabrication shop

04 · Replaces a operations consultant · typically $110,000 loaded

Business consultant

The fourth person on your floor team is a business consultant — the one you would never hire full-time. Labor cost, process, scorecards, and the messy middle between a working shop and a company. Not a motivational speaker. Someone who will sit at the workbench and look at the numbers with you.

  • Labor-cost and margin reviews
  • SOPs, KPIs, and simple scorecards
  • Leadership cadence and review rhythms
  • Growth planning without the theater
  • A named partner, not a rotating account manager

A portal is included. It is not the product.

Employees can see paystubs, request time off, and complete onboarding online. You get reporting, documents, and a single picture of labor cost. Useful — and still secondary to the people who walk your floor.
