5 Myths About Using Employee Leasing Services

#1
It costs more to use an employee leasing company.
You’ll save money by using these services! The employee leasing company allows you to concentrate on building your business while managing your administrative costs.

#2
I can’t save money on my workers’ compensation costs! My experience rating and the state control my rate.
Wrong! The employee leasing companies buy workers’ compensation for thousands of employees. Bulk buying means favorable discounts that you may not receive outside of an employee leasing arrangement.

#3
If I use an employee leasing company, I’ll lose control of my business.

Not true! You maintain complete control of the day-to-day operations of your company; you’re simply outsourcing the annoying paperwork. Dealing with insurance agents, audits and employee questions take time that you can better spend focused on your business. But it’s not just time. It’s money, too.

#4
Health insurance rates and their yearly increases are pretty much the same with every carrier.
Not true! On average, small business owners pay more for group health than larger companies. By partnering with an employee leasing company, many small business owners have seen savings as high as 35% on their group health costs.

#5
I’ll pay more if I use an employee leasing broker.

You’ll pay less by using our services. You get the best rates when companies compete!

You Bundle Personal Services - Why Not Business Services?

It seems wherever I go, I see the television advertisements for bundling your home cable, phone and internet services. The benefits they provide are lower costs, one monthly invoice (instead of three) for everything and one point of contact for all your service questions.  Makes sense to me- and certainly millions of others.

This simple concept of saving people time and money is what Employee Leasing/PEO services provide for business owners. Think about it- most employers either do their own payroll, use a payroll company or utilize accounting services. They  search out agents for workers’ compensation, general liability, employee benefits and other insurances. During the year they have questions regarding workers’ comp, unemployment and health insurance claims. They deal with the headaches of quarterly reports, garnishments, audits, W-2’s and a pile of other issues including multiple bills to review– all with a number of people to play phone tag with.

When employers bundle these services with an employee leasing company, they unload all the hassles of payroll administrative work, receive workers’ compensation discounts not available through traditional carriers and have access to big company employee benefit programs. Best of all, they have point of contact and receive one invoice on payday – for everything!

So if bundling makes sense at home, why not look into the benefits of employee leasing services for your business?  You’ll save money and time- we can show you how! Call us- our information is free and helpful.

Employee Leasing Services – It is for Real!

I was in Valdosta, Georgia earlier this week to see family and visit with a few clients who had found our services on the web. I decided to spend a few days to meet and visit with employers to get a pulse on how familiar or widely used employee leasing services are through the area.

I met with exactly 34 business owners during this time – the most polite and generous people by the way you could ever meet. One company was using an employee leasing service while everyone else was unfamiliar with the concept – what an opportunity! Many were in awe of the idea of having one point of contact to deal with all the headaches of payroll, workers’ compensation, HR tasks, etc. My favorite response was “is this for real?”

As employers continue to struggle during these tough economic times, right now is the time to look at streamlining unproductive administrative work as well as saving on insurance costs.  In fact of the three employers who requested proposals, their workers’ compensation savings through employee leasing totaled over $17,000 a year!

If you live in Georgia or any other state, you owe it to yourself and your business to look into the services of employee leasing. When you’re to see how these services could benefit your business – give us a call. Our information is free and helpful. We can be reached at 1-888-582-8388, or on the web at www.EmployeeLeasingQuotes.com.

Employee Leasing/ PEO Services: Benefits of a Drug-Free Workplace

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

Employers who choose the valuable services of an employee leasing company- including drug-free workplace programs, experience significant benefits. These employers report decreases in absenteeism, accidents, downtime, turnover and theft; increases in productivity and overall improved morale. Employee leasing services are able to provide reduced costs on workers’ compensation insurance. Cost savings and incentive programs are offered in medical and health insurance, as well.

Employee leasing services take drug free workplace and many other burdens off an employer’s shoulders

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!

10 Ways Employee Leasing Services Provide Serious Savings!

Published by admin under hr, payroll, workers compensation

1. 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. Employee leasing/ PEO services assumes all your payroll liabilities and are responsible for timely deposits and reporting.

2. Workers’ compensation:
No premium deposits
Discounts unavailable through traditional markets

3. Labor burden reports: Do you currently know to the penny what each employee truly costs you every hour they’re at work? An employee leasing company’s labor burden report helps you bid jobs and understand your bottom line more effectively.

4. Wage garnishments: Another check, another stamp and another wasted ten minutes of somebody’s time. These are one of many frustrating issues you signed up for as an employer but wish you couldn’t. Employee leasing services handle these time consuming tasks.

5. W-2’s : What’s worse- an ex-employee calling you in late February for their W-2 or getting return to sender over and over again when you mail them out… both! Let the employee leasing company deal with the headaches.

6. Safety manuals, newsletters and on-site meetings: Investing in workplace safety education is investing in the future of your business. Your workers’ compensation insurance history can make you more competitive or drive you out of business. Employee leasing/ PEO services have a significant stake in your company’s safety program. It’s in their best interest to help.

8. HR help: The only thing worse than being wrong on a hire is the employee dragging you to court when they’re fired. Employee leasing/ PEO services provide hiring and firing procedures, including any claims processing.

9. Benefits management: Shouldn’t benefits questions be directed to your benefits provider? Employee leasing companies provide a toll free hotline for employees to ask questions, feel educated and most importantly – get help when they need it!

Any Time Is The Right Time For PEO Services

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.
