What does Harlo do?
Harlo provides leave administration, accommodation management, compliance assessments, and workforce compliance advisory support. The specific scope is tailored to each organization’s needs and engagement.
What types of organizations does Harlo support?
Harlo supports growing and established employers that need greater expertise, consistency, or capacity within their leave, accommodation, and workforce compliance processes.
The right fit depends on the organization’s workforce, locations, current resources, and support needs rather than employee count alone.
Can Harlo work alongside our existing HR team or vendors?
Yes. Harlo can provide complete administration or focused support alongside internal HR, benefits, payroll, operations, employment counsel, and other partners.
The engagement is designed around the responsibilities Harlo will manage and the areas the employer will retain.
Do we need both leave administration and accommodation management?
Not necessarily. Organizations may engage Harlo for one solution or combine services when a connected approach would create a clearer experience.
Working with Harlo
Does Harlo communicate directly with employees?
Depending on the engagement, Harlo may communicate directly with employees regarding intake, documentation, process requirements, status updates, and next steps.
The communication approach and Harlo’s responsibilities are established before services begin.
Does Harlo support employees in multiple states?
Harlo can support organizations with employees across multiple states. The scope depends on workforce locations, applicable requirements, and the services included in the engagement.
Can Harlo help employees understand wage-replacement benefits?
Yes. Harlo can help employees understand programs and benefits that may be available during leave, including state disability, paid family leave, short-term disability, and employer-provided paid time off.
Eligibility and payment decisions remain with the responsible employer, insurer, plan administrator, or government agency.
How does an engagement begin?
We begin by learning about the organization, workforce, current process, existing partners, and the challenges creating the greatest concern.
Harlo then recommends an appropriate scope of support, responsibilities, implementation approach, and next steps.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the selected solution, workforce size and location, anticipated volume, process complexity, existing infrastructure, and the responsibilities included in the engagement. Harlo provides pricing after an initial discussion and scope review.
