### Frequently Asked Questions.

#### 01. How does Warp replace multiple HR tools?

Warp combines payroll, benefits brokerage, HRIS, tax compliance, and IT management into one platform. Instead of stitching together Gusto for payroll, a separate broker for benefits, and spreadsheets for compliance, you get one system that handles everything.

#### 02. We're hiring in new states. How does compliance work?

When you hire in a new state, Warp automatically registers you with the right tax agencies, files quarterly returns, and handles ongoing compliance. AI agents monitor 10,000+ jurisdictions for regulation changes and resolve tax notices before they hit your inbox. You'll never visit a .gov website.

#### 03. Is Warp actually a licensed benefits broker?

Yes. We handle carrier negotiations, premium reconciliation, qualifying events, and open enrollment in-house. Health, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA, commuter benefits—all administered end to end.

#### 04. How long does it take to migrate from our current provider?

Most companies are live within 1–2 weeks. Our white-glove migration team handles everything, including data transfer and benefit carrier transitions.
