I had a business owner call me who was angry with his PEO provider. Seems that a larger PEO purchased his PEO a little over a month ago and both parties neglected to tell their customers. When his office manager mentioned that the phones were rolling over and being answered by a different company name - he called. When he ask why hadn’t got notification of the ownership change, he was told “they were getting ready to contact everyone.”
Now this isn’t a small company, or a business who has been let go. I don’t know why, but I’ve heard these stories before from mergers and acquisitions and don’t quite understand the logic? I suppose if your theory is that people may leave you because of change, then that’s a position I don’t buy into. If you really believe in what your company has to offer though and know that you’re truly upgrading your customers benefits and services - wouldn’t you want to let them know immediately?

Great reason to look into Employee Leasing services. You know what your costs are, the rates are discounted upfront and you don’t deal with audits.

Four Jacksonville-area construction contracting companies were caught in a sweep for violations of Florida Worker’s Compensation laws June 2 and 3, according to a release from CFO Alex Sink.
Three St. Johns County businesses, Professional Paint of JAX Inc., Interior Exterior Specialists Inc., and SER Wall Covering Corp., all were cited for failure to secure the insurance for their employees, as was Ochoa Drywall Inc., of Middleburg, according to records. Each had fewer than five uninsured employees.
Statewide, the Department of Financial Services’ Division of Workers’ Compensation Bureau of Compliance shut down 70 such companies after random site visits revealed they didn’t carry required workers’ compensation insurance, Sink announced Wednesday. Of 75 companies statewide listed as having been included in the sweep, only five were not construction or construction contracting-related.
Businesses in construction are required to carry the insurance when they employ anyone, including the owner.
Non-construction businesses are required to carry it when they employ more than four, according to the state CFO’s office. The orders are issued for violations including failure to obtain coverage, paying employees “under the table” in cash and under-reporting payroll, and misclassifying employees for a lower workers compensation rate.

What a great industry and a great week! From a pizza chain in Missouri to a multi-state trucking operation in Georgia, a total of four businesses new to employee leasing services this week, will total an annual workers’ compensation insurance savings of almost $75,000 - compared to their previous insurance providers.
The best part of a new company connecting with these services is always the conversations about six months down the road. The conversation is more about how much more productive they are, since unloading all the administrative paperwork and how they had wished they new about employee leasing years ago - which I’ve heard many times over the years.
More new states, cities, towns and industries. More success stories. Let’s keep spreading the word!
