The problem of alcohol and other drug abuse remains a serious issue in our society, and often carries its damaging affects into the workplace. Employers who think alcohol and other drug abuse will never be a problem in their workplace should consider some of these staggering statistics.

Employees with alcohol and substance abuse:

Tend to apply to companies that don’t test

Cost business owners approximately $81 billion a year in productivity

Lose an estimated 500 million workdays annually

Place co-workers in danger and cause other employees to work harder or re-do work

For some employers, one accident, one major financial problem, or one breach of confidentiality can place their entire business in jeopardy. While there may be more cases of alcohol and other drug abuse in larger companies than in smaller ones, a single troubled employee can have a major impact on a smaller business. Consider the duties at your workplace in which a substance abuser may affect your business.

Do you have employees who:

Drive vehicles

Operate machinery

Handle large sums of money

Are salespeople - representing your company

Work in home health care

Seems like everybody’s talking about the sad state of the economy these days. Everywhere you turn, people are in crisis mode. Most folks are forced to spend much less than they had been used to, and stress seems to be at an all-time high.

When lowering business costs and lightening your work load is a high priority, employers can turn to employee leasing services.

Employee leasing companies, a.k.a. Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs), enable business owners to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation.

In other words, an employee leasing company takes the headaches out of running your business by taking over specific responsibilities so you can focus on what you’re best at- taking care of your customers! You can give up those frustrating, administrative tasks and put your energy back into making profits for your business.

When you partner with an employee leasing company, you can get the lowest rates available on workers’ compensation insurance coverage. Many business owners can see savings of up to 30%!

Employee leasing companies partner with their clients to share employer responsibilities and liabilities. They provide services and resources including risk management, workers’ compensation insurance, human resources, labor law compliance and employee tax administration.

The PEO service also takes care of your company’s payroll, including everything from printing the checks to reporting and paying the employment taxes.

Saving time and money is easy with an employee leasing/ PEO service! Call 1-888-582-8388 to find out how employee leasing can help your business!

Florida workers’ compensation rates could be on the decline for yet another year. On August 27, 2008, the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) delivered its annual Florida workers’ compensation rate filing to the office of insurance regulation (OIR). Based upon its review of the most recent data available, NCCI has proposed, effective January 1, 2009, an overall workers’ compensation rate level decrease of 14.1%.

Florida’s claim frequency declined by 12.4% in 2006 and 13.2% in 2007. While lost time claim frequency has also been declining countrywide, Florida has been outpacing the countrywide average decline. In addition, while medical severity (the average size of the medical portion of the claim) continues to grow, the decline in claim frequency coupled with the growth in wages much more than offset the growth in medical severity. The reasons for these claim frequency declines include business efforts to promote safe working conditions, technological improvements and the impact of global competition. The 2003 Florida workers’ compensation reform may also be a significant factor.

The improvement in loss development (meaning the average claim cost is coming down) is continuing and appears to have been strengthened by the workers’ comp reform that tightened compensability standards and limited attorney fees. There is a trend toward quicker claim closure and return to work.

The last few weeks have taken me out on the road to visit business with dozens of employers in a variety of industries. As you can imagine there weren’t too many positive business events to talk about right know. The economy and what lies ahead was a common topic of discussion.

What I was pleasantly surprised to hear, though, were several comments about how valuable their PEO services were during these tough times. The compliments surprised me because people generally don’t comment on PEO services unless they’re causing problems– and to hear compliments during a difficult period for most businesses really caught my attention.

The compliments ranged from help dealing with unemployment claims issues to advice on payroll payment options. These employers mentioned how hard they’re working right now to find opportunities and if they had to deal with paperwork issues too, “the doors might be closed already.”

I thought how interesting this perspective was because when times are good, people tend to be so caught up in deadlines, bidding and the sales/service side of the business. It really makes it easy to forget the value employee leasing/ PEO services provide. Right now, these employers have the time to sell their services instead of wasting it dealing with non-income producing tasks. Precious time indeed!

This represents the true value of PEO services for an employer – focusing your time and energy on profitable work, delegating and outsourcing the rest. Whether your goals are to save on workers’ compensation insurance, improve your employee benefits package, or to streamline your payroll management, the services of a PEO company can help. When you’re ready to look at the benefits PEO services can provide your business – give us call. We can be reached at 1-888-582-8388.

Business owners in the construction and trades industries enjoy the benefits employee leasing/ PEO services have to offer for three main reasons.

Better access to workers compensation

In virtually every state except Texas, workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory. Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance on their employees. The problem is the insurance industry makes it almost impossible for a small contractor to obtain a workers’ compensation policy. Traditional work compensation insurance carriers can require a minimum of five employees or $80,000 in annual wages to secure a policy. Many employee leasing companies, on the other hand, can access coverage for even the smallest contractor.

Savings on workers’ compensation insurance costs

Construction employers can expect to save 10-40% with employee leasing/ PEO services compared to standard market work comp rates. One of the greatest benefits of using an employee leasing company is the pay-as-you-go workers’ compensation insurance coverage, eliminating the big deposits and up-front costs to get coverage. Traditional work comp policies will require a significant down payment (often 3 months of premium costs) to get a policy in place. Employee leasing companies do not require any up front payments for workers’ compensation coverage.

Outsourcing the administrative headaches

Imagine the time savings and freedom to complete payroll with a five minute phone call in the office or on the jobsite. An employee leasing company/ PEO service provides payroll processing, workers’ compensation administration, claims management and HR assistance. For today’s employers, the frustrating tasks of dealing with these issues along with nearly sixty other federally mandated laws can make it almost impossible to work on profitable business ideas. One payment to the employee leasing company covers all your costs for payroll, work comp and payroll taxes.

When you’re ready to explore the benefits a employee leasing/ PEO service can provide for your business, give us a call. Employee Leasing Quotes.com works with a network of construction employee leasing providers. Finding the one that will benefit your business the most is how we save our clients time and money.
