Important · what we don't do

A note on scope.

Mountain HR handles a wide range of HR work for Great Falls employers, and leaves a few things to specialists. Here is the line.

  • Not offered

    Payroll processing

    Mountain HR does not run payroll, file payroll taxes, or administer payroll systems. We partner with employers who already have a payroll provider (or can recommend one).

  • Not offered

    Benefits administration

    We can advise on benefits design, but we don't enroll employees, manage claims, or act as a broker. For active brokerage, we refer to trusted partners.

  • Not offered

    Employment law representation

    We provide compliance guidance, not legal advice. For litigation, charges, or formal legal opinions, we coordinate with your attorney.

Need payroll handled? We can recommend a Montana payroll provider suited to ag, trades, and manufacturing teams.

Great Falls HR FAQ

HR questions from Great Falls owners.

Do you have an office in Great Falls?
No. Mountain HR Consulting is based in Kalispell and works with Great Falls businesses remotely, mostly by video and phone.
Do you work with agricultural and manufacturing employers?
Yes. Ag, food processing, and manufacturing have specific hiring, wage-hour, and safety realities, and we build policies and onboarding that fit how those teams actually run.
Does remote HR support work for a hands-on business?
It does. Handbooks, compliance reviews, hiring support, and policy work all happen well remotely, and we keep the advice practical rather than academic.
Can you help with safety policies?
We can set up clear safety and incident-reporting policies as part of your handbook and onboarding. For technical safety programs we coordinate with your safety lead or a specialist.
