Everything your HR team needs

Six powerful modules — California compliance built in, not bolted on.

Employee Management

Full employee profiles, SSN masking, document storage, and a searchable directory built for US teams.

HR Workflows

Onboarding, offboarding, and leave requests as first-class workflows — with manager approval queues and audit trails.

California Compliance

CFRA, PDL, Paid Sick Leave, AB5 classification, SB 1162 pay transparency, and final paycheck tracking — built in.

Leave Management

Pre-configured US leave types: PTO, sick leave, FMLA, bereavement, jury duty, and voting leave.

E-Signature

Sign offer letters, handbooks, I-9 waivers, and CCPA notices — legally binding under ESIGN Act, no DocuSign needed.

Multi-Tenant Security

Row-level security on every table. CCPA-compliant data handling with export and deletion workflows.

California Compliance Pack

CA labor law is complex. We handle it for you.

California has the most employee-protective laws in the US — and the highest penalties for non-compliance. Alpha HR ships with every major CA requirement pre-configured, attorney-reviewed, and ready to go.

  • CFRA family leave (12 weeks, companies ≥5)
  • Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) up to 4 months
  • CA Paid Sick Leave (5 days/yr with accrual rules)
  • AB5 contractor classification questionnaire
  • SB 1162 pay transparency — salary ranges on request
  • Final paycheck deadline tracking (immediate termination)

Trusted by HR teams across California

We got hit with a meal break violation fine before Alpha HR. Now every waiver is signed and timestamped. That alone paid for years of the subscription.

HR Manager, Bay Area Tech Co.

Finally an HR tool that knows what CFRA is. Setup took one afternoon. Our old tool needed a consultant just to configure leave types.

James Okafor

People Operations, SF Startup (60 employees)

The onboarding checklist caught that we hadn't filed the CA new hire report for two employees. That's a $24/day penalty we avoided.
