HR Service, Inc.
HR is more than filling out the right forms. It’s about getting answers, having someone to lean on and implementing solutions the right way.
The HISTORY of Hr Service, Inc.
In the early 2000’s, Ken Spencer was teaching Human Resources Management PT as an Associate Professor at Westminster College, and found himself at the crossroads wondering how could he make a living doing this? He realized there were thousands of smaller organizations across the country that needed “best practice” HR solutions who couldn’t afford to hire their own full-time professional.
Initially, Ken operated on his own with support from his wife, Kathy. Over the years, additional team members were added as organizations saw the vision of outsourcing HR, growing to a team of almost 50 employees.
Armed with a wealth of knowledge and keen understanding that businesses still require HR support during hard times, Ken embarked on a transformative journey. He laid the foundation for HR Service, Inc., driven by a compelling desire to bridge the gap between expertise and affordability. He wanted to provide professional-level HR and employment law assistance at prices palatable for small enterprises.
While our company has flourished and our influence stretches across the country, our guiding principles remain the same. Every company needs HR. Business size or budget should not prevent access to the benefits of these resources.

Frequently Asked Questions
Compliance is a tricky issue to tackle, but there are a few key benefits to make things easier on you. The key benefits of HR compliance include: training and making sure your company is meeting your legal requirements.
The first step is to identify what regulations apply to your company. This can be done through research, talking to professionals or other mentors who have been in the industry a long time. Once you have identified the regulations that need your attention, you need to put together an action plan to achieve compliance. Review all current policies and procedures and make sure they are compliant with any NEW regulations.
In order to comply with all relevant laws, a company should:
- Define the issue or the question that is being raised.
- Identify the applicable law that governs the issue or question.
- Review and analyze relevant law to identify obligations and risks.
- Put in place measures to address any issues identified.
The most common HR violations are not paying employees on time, not following the minimum age law and not providing adequate breaks.

Generally, no. If you only have a Cafeteria Plan, you are not required to file a Form 5500 or Schedule F. However if you have a welfare benefit plan, you may be required under Department of Labor regulations to file a return for that plan.
