Built for the relationship. Not the queue.
A dedicated HR team that knows your name, remembers your last renewal and picks up on the second ring.
Most PEOs are built for scale. We were built for depth.
Most PEOs are built like assembly lines: a recommendation, a portal, and a queue when something goes wrong. Designed for thousands of accounts, routed through tickets where ownership disappears.
SIDECAR HR was founded in Orlando in 2014 on a different premise. Growing businesses deserve the same quality of HR support as large enterprises, without the call center. So we built our professional employer organization (PEO) around named people who own the account and answer for it.
From our Florida base, we support businesses across the Southeast and throughout the country. Local relationships and multi-state capabilities are part of the same service, not separate offerings.
The name is an operating principle. In a sidecar, two vehicles share the same road, the same speed and the same direction. One drives. The other rides alongside. Your business drives. We handle the complexity beside you.
Twelve years and a 98% client retention rate later, the principle hasn't changed. Neither has the phone number.
Built by people who ran the big shops.
SIDECAR HR's leadership ran operations at large national PEOs. They saw where that model breaks down at scale: the call center, the rotating reps, the accountability that gets lost in a queue. They left to build the service they couldn't deliver there.
Specialists, not generalists
Payroll, benefits, compliance and HR, each handled by people who do that work all day.
A licensed insurance agency
So benefits can actually flex to the business: different carriers, funding structures and plan designs.
12 years building the service-first model
Small by design, not by capacity. A national multi-state footprint behind every account.
Same direction. Same speed.
You have a dedicated team, not a ticket queue.
Named contacts across every function, with direct lines.
The team learns your business from day one.
Your context never leaves with a departing rep.
The returns compound.
Every year the service sharpens and the relationship deepens.
Why clients stay, in their own words.
