Bottom line
AirMason is employee-handbook and HR-policy software: static PDFs become branded, mobile-friendly digital documents with e-signatures, version history and signature reminders. Subscriptions include onboarding, HRIS integrations (Workday, BambooHR, ADP, UKG) and SSO. Paid add-ons cover attorney-reviewed employment law updates for all 50 US states, the AirAssist AI HR assistant, design and copywriting. Startup plans begin at $999/year for up to 99 employees, with no setup or implementation fees.
Frequently asked questions
How much does AirMason cost for a mid-sized company?
Plans are priced by headcount. Startup covers 1–99 employees at $999 per year ($149/month if billed monthly) and Small Business covers 100–199 employees at $1,499 per year ($199/month). Organizations of 200+ employees receive custom Enterprise pricing. There are no setup or implementation fees and HRIS/SSO integrations are included. Add-ons such as automated employment law updates, AirAssist, design, copywriting and drafting are quoted separately.
How long until employees can access our handbook?
The vendor states you can be distributing documents within as little as one to two weeks. Your subscription includes onboarding and implementation support: an onboarding specialist builds the project plan, and an integrations team configures HRIS and SSO. Because you can upload an existing handbook or start from a template, editing and publishing can begin immediately.
Does AirMason keep the handbook compliant as employment law changes?
Automated employment law updates are a paid add-on covering US federal law plus all 50 states, including municipalities and counties. AirMason scans legal sources, filters changes for relevance to your operations, and has each update reviewed by SHRM-certified HR professionals and employment attorneys before it reaches your dashboard, with wording ready to publish and redistribute. Coverage is US-focused; multi-country coverage is not described.
What AI capabilities are included, and how are they billed?
Two AI capabilities are described: AirAssist, an AI HR assistant that answers employee questions from the sources you designate and escalates to HR when needed, and an AI-powered compliance engine behind the employment law update service. Both are sold as paid add-ons rather than being included in the base subscription. The vendor does not disclose which underlying models it uses.
Which HRIS and SSO systems can we connect?
AirMason integrates with most major HRIS platforms through partnerships or custom work, naming Workday, BambooHR, ADP, UKG, Paylocity and Dayforce, and supports SSO providers including Okta, Google, Azure, OneLogin and Duo. Integrations are included in the subscription. Daily HRIS sync keeps the employee list current and drives automatic document distribution by location or department.

AirMason announced a SOC 2 Type II attestation report (September 2024) covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy, granted without exceptions. Data is encrypted at rest with row-level encryption on sensitive tables, TLS 1.2 or higher is used in transit, third-party penetration testing runs at least annually, and enterprise SLA, single-tenant and on-premises deployment options are offered.
