The IRS plans to audit 6,000 companies over the next three years in a bid to crack down on companies that erroneously classify employees as independent contractors. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out - here’s the article: http://www.inc.com/news/articles/2010/02/cracking-down-on-contractors.html

Wow, is it crazy out there! I have no idea what’s driving all the dramatic health care increases lately, but it couldn’t come at a more difficult time for employers across the country and they’re scrabbling for quick solutions. Many of heard of Anthem’s Blue Cross increases but it doesn’t seem to stop there. Over the last month, I can’t remember a time that we’ve worked on more benefit driven needs for employee leasing services – and there are great opportunities for savings with a PEO or employee leasing provider!

The problem: A ten year-old staffing company in the hospitality industry that has eight separate work comp policies and unemployment rates for each state they provide services in. Their administrative and cost control issues include individual policy renewal dates each year, separate experience (emod) ratings on each policy and different state unemployment rates. They estimate spending 30 hours per week on payroll management, mailings, phone calls between states and insurers.

The solution: An employee leasing company with a multi-state policy. We were able to provide this staffing agency one policy for all the states they do business in – with no money down! Plus, they received discounted rates on their work comp insurance, savings on unemployment tax rates, no audits, no state forms to file, no deposits – no more hassles.

The staffing company’s existing payroll system was easily integrated with the employee leasing providers. With a supervisor at each location, they also choose remote payroll check printing saving money on overnight shipping and time when checks needed to be processed immediately. They estimated a savings of over $75,000 annually in insurance savings, but were even more excited about how this would help them grow even faster by reducing the time spent dealing with “garbage work, that was killing our productivity”.

As business owners continue to search for savings opportunities, we’ve noticed a big increase in remote check printing. With the average PEO delivery cost at about $20 bucks per payroll, the printers for producing payroll checks are roughly $300. That’s a significant annual savings.

Plus, employers can immediately cut holiday, bonus or termination checks and feel more in control of the process.

Need an example the impact employee leasing services can make? With one phone call from a small California business owner, employee leasing services will now have a dramatic affect on three business owners serving the San Jose market.

Last week a gentleman in the construction industry called me to inquiry about employee leasing services. His problem, he and other California employers took it on the chin again with another increase in workers’ compensation rates. As a small remodeler in a tough economy and one of the most trying states just to stay in business, his employee related costs have been soaring. Within two days, we provided him with an employee leasing solution that would cut his work comp insurance costs by almost 35%. Not only was he quick to get started, he was so grateful that he referred two other small business owners who were suffering from the same problems – and yes, I was a happy man!

This is one of those win, win and win situations. We helped him, he helped us and the customers he provides services to are more than likely able to benefit from his lower costs of doing business.

It’s been almost 30 years ago now that employee leasing services also known now as Professional Employer Organizations or PEOs were revolutionized to transform the way businesses operate. In short, the basic problem and solution was that you start a business in order to sell a product or provide a service in hopes of generating revenue. Then you quickly discover the necessary but time-consuming issues of payroll administration, employee and workers’ compensation insurances, personnel management and governmental compliance issues. All non-income producing work that prevent a business from maximizing profitability!

An employee leasing service eliminates these problems while providing powerful business benefits!

Employee leasing services process and deliver payroll to your office, they assume liability of all your state and federal payroll tax deposits, submit quarterly and year-end reports, even mail out W-2s and wage garnishments - all for less money than you can typically do on your own!

Workers’ compensation insurance benefits include big discounts (up to 30%) compared to traditional carriers and the state fund. You’ll also have the advantage of a zero down, pay-as-you-go policy that eliminates the hassles of time consuming audits.

Plus, you become part of a large buying group that gives you access to big company benefits at reduced rates. While there are many more advantages of using employee leasing services, cutting employee related expenses, while giving you the freedom and time to generate income for your company are the core benefits of a PEO.

The idea and concept seem simple and make sense in today’s business environment as we’ve become accustomed to outsourcing more services that add nothing to the bottom line. Think about it, business owners now regularly lease or outsource things such as tools, equipment, office furniture, copiers and printers – even labor.

Over the last thirty years these opportunities have continued to multiple as our time holds more value and the benefits just make sense. There’s a reason why employee leasing services continue to experience double –digit growth each year. Similar to paying our bills online or combining phone, cable and internet providers for one easy check to write, are you ready to investigate the advantages an employee leasing service may have on your business?

Today was one of those days I wish I had a tape recorder to play to every employer who contacts us regarding interest employee leasing services. It was just about a month ago that we placed a restaurant owner with an employee leasing company. His business is in Tennessee and he originally contacted us through a mutual friend who owns a restaurant in Florida.

A month ago, the initial conversation went something like this: “I’m working 14 hours a day, doing almost everything you can imagine has to be done to run a restaurant and then dealing payroll for about 4 hours on Sunday – my day off! I was told employee leasing services can help me out?” After our conversation and about two weeks later, the employer kicked off the New Year with an employee leasing company.

When we spoke today, he couldn’t believe the difference it had made in his life! With time clocks integrated with the payroll department, along with his insurances all automatically deducted – he “couldn’t believe the difference it made in his week.” Plus, he was actually saving a few bucks as well.
Most business owners in the restaurant and hospitality industry can identify with this story which explains the continued increase and interest in employee leasing services. I love this industry because it just makes sense!

1. Time Savings: The most unexpected surprise any new business owner encounters when cutting the ribbon on their new found venture is the internal work that goes into running their business. Insurances, payroll, employee management take up a tremendous amount of time (up to 40% - small business administration) while producing absolutely zero revenue for the business. An Employee Leasing or Professional Employer Organization (PEO) will streamline all of these tasks, allowing you to focus on customers, marketing, training, receivables and many more income producing tasks. 

2. Workers’ Compensation Savings: In many industries, workers’ compensation insurance can be the most expensive part of running of business. Imagine if your work comp costs were ten, twenty or thirty percent less? How much for profitable and competitive would you be? Employee leasing services provide discounts unavailable through traditional insurance carriers, without big deposits, state fees and you’ll never hear the work “audit”!

3. Healthcare Savings: Small business owners experience the frustration of huge yearly healthcare increases as an annual event. Many jump from one plan to other as a result wasting days, even months of shopping and enrollments. By combining your group with hundreds of other small businesses through a PEO service, claims are diluted, providing you with more consistent costs and less time wasted. Employee leasing companies provide a toll free hotline for employees to ask questions, feel educated and most importantly - get help when they need it.

4. Payroll Management: Sure, it’s not rocket science, but payroll is tedious work and you can’t afford mistakes. There’s a reason why 1 in 3 businesses are penalized every year by the IRS. Add the time and money wasted on purchasing checks, envelopes, ink, payroll programs (that require frequent updates) and other material – employee leasing services take all the headaches away! An employee leasing company is responsible for all of your payroll tax liabilities and wage garnishments, while providing custom reports, free direct deposit or debit cards, even certified payrolls.

5. Human Resource Management: Who starts a business with prior human resource management experience? Not many. A simple definition of human resource management by wikipedia is “employing people, developing their resources, utilizing, maintaining and compensating their services in tune with the job and organizational requirement”. A PEO provides a business owner with powerful services and information that help you maximize your investment on employees.
