A broad scope still needs named owners
Ask who starts, approves, performs and checks each recurring task. Include new hires, pay changes, benefit events, leave, employee questions, manager escalations and record requests. Clarify which decisions remain with leadership and when qualified advisers are involved.
Look beyond the service list
Compare the assigned team, response expectations, systems, integrations, implementation, reporting, optional charges and exit assistance. A comprehensive package is useful only when the provider can explain how normal work and exceptions will be handled.
