Part-Time HR Generalist, Client Services

Part-Time HR Generalist, Client Services
RCR Consulting Group | Fully Remote | 25-30 hours per week, Monday-Friday | $32.00-$40.00 per hour
The Opportunity
RCR Consulting Group is looking for a hands-on HR generalist who genuinely likes doing the work — not just advising on it.

You will support a portfolio of small and mid-size client organizations across a wide range of industries, and no two days look the same. One morning you are drafting an offer letter and running a background check. That afternoon you are putting together an FMLA designation notice, then jumping on a call to walk a client's payroll administrator through a deduction correction. Next week you are deep in a new HRIS implementation, cleaning up employee data and testing the first payroll run.

If that variety sounds energizing rather than scattered, keep reading. If your instinct is that this work should be handed to someone else, this is not the right fit — and we would rather both of us know that now.
This is a permanent part-time, fully remote position. We are looking for someone who wants RCR to be their work — not a side engagement alongside other employment or their own consulting practice. The Schedule
Core hours are 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern , when we need you reachable for clients. The remaining hours each week are yours to place — early mornings, evenings, whatever fits your life. We hold this schedule seriously; it is the reason the role exists as part-time rather than full-time.

We do ask for flexibility to pick up additional hours occasionally when client needs spike — open enrollment, an implementation go-live, an urgent employee relations matter. A Note on Career Breaks
We welcome applicants returning to the workforce after time away. A gap on your resume is not a mark against you here — we care that you have the experience and that you are ready to use it. If you stepped back from a career in HR and want back in, we would like to hear from you. What You Will Actually Do
We wrote this section deliberately specific, because we want you to know exactly what you are signing up for. Day-to-day HR execution — you do the work, not delegate it

- Draft and send offer letters, and manage onboarding paperwork, I-9s, and background checks end to end

- Prepare FMLA, ADA, and state leave notices and correspondence, and track leave cases from first request through return to work

- Process and audit payroll: entering changes, chasing down discrepancies, reconciling deductions, resolving the check that came out $46 short

- Maintain accurate employee data across HRIS platforms — you are the one in the system, not the one reviewing a report about the system

- Build and update handbooks, policies, job descriptions, offer templates, and employee communications

- Run open enrollment logistics: employee meetings, election tracking, carrier file follow-up, post-enrollment audits

Client service that earns the "wow"

- Serve as the primary day-to-day HR contact for your clients — the person they call when something goes sideways

- Respond fast, follow through completely, and close the loop without being asked twice

- Handle a client's employee question with the same care whether it is a routine PTO balance or a resignation letter that just landed

- Anticipate what is coming — the I-9 that expires next month, the notice that is due, the manager who will need coaching before that conversation

Projects and systems implementations

- Work implementations start to finish: data gathering and cleanup, configuration testing, parallel payroll runs, employee communications, go-live support

- Manage several client projects at once and keep every one of them moving

- Document processes so the next person can run them

Employee relations and manager support

- Investigate and resolve employee relations matters — complaints, performance concerns, policy violations — with discretion and clean documentation

- Coach frontline and mid-level managers
