Employee Leasing Services – Top 5 Business Benefits

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.

Employee Leasing Services Help You Remain Focused During Difficult Times

Published by admin under business solutions, outsourcing

Running a business these days is tough. But when you think about (which I’m sure you have over some sleepless nights) you can only control so much. For me, there are two basic areas that I consider as my starting point and build my priority list off of almost everyday - time management and my cost of doing business.

Right now, I have to be spending time with current clients, interacting with prospective new customers and marketing my business – this has to come first! Almost daily, I’m asking myself these questions: How can I streamline the work that takes me away from doing things that will create business? Who can help me do some of the things that I know are wasting chunks of my day? And how much more business could I create if I outsourced these particular tasks – and what would my return on that investment be?

When I think about my costs of doing business, like everyone else – what isn’t fair game to consider right now? Phone services, insurances, office supplies, marketing and shipping costs are just a few ways to keep costs under control. And to me – everything is negotiable since everyone is feeling the pinch.

It’s so easy to feel overwhelmed but these two focal points help me build my schedule around the things that really matter and keep me focused on moving forward. I realize to most that this a “duh” statement, but I use this common sense example because this is exactly why employee leasing/peo services were originated almost 30 years ago. Controlling the costs of doing business and giving you more time to do what you do best isn’t a slogan, it’s a growing service called employee leasing - that business owners in all 50 states are taking advantage of. Call and see if your business could benefit.

Find an Employee Leasing Company as you Unique as You!

Published by admin under outsourcing

With Employee Leasing/ PEO services growing at a healthy 25-30% rate a year for several years now, the word is out on the benefits of outsourcing. So when choosing the right Employee Leasing company becomes the goal, look closely at a few important factors to make sure you’ve chosen the right partner.

1. Pay close attention the marketing material the Employee Leasing company has. A company’s website, brochures and business cards can give you immediate feedback as to what kind of industries they serve.
2. Find out how long the Employee Leasing company has been in business. Are they registered with the state? There have been bad apples among the trees over the years, just as any industry has. What local or national trade associations are they a member of?
3. Who is their workers’ compensation carrier, and for how long? Like any other business, Employee Leasing companies face yearly workers’ comp audits, and if the insurer finds bad claims and management, a renewal is not awarded. Obviously without workers’ compensation they can’t continue to operate, and the scramble begins to find a replacement. If a company has had several carriers over the years, you need to know why.
4. Does the workers’ compensation policy cover your employees when working out of your state?  Many of the policies don’t provide this coverage, so it’s important that you ask. Also, find out specifically what types of deductibles apply if claims occur.
5. Ask if your rate drops when the $7,000 Federal and state unemployment tax caps are met on employees. A large percentage of Employee Leasing companies continue to bill at the same rate throughout the year. While one particular Leasing company’s rates may look lower than the others, if they don’t lower your percentage on these taxes, you could end up paying much more in the end.
6. Compare the little numbers, such as new employee setup fees, minimum payroll run fees- even delivery costs can vary dramatically. A difference in delivery fees of only $10 a week is a $520 disparity between companies over one year.
7. If employee benefits are important to your company, make sure they are suitable for where your employees live and work. Even companies like Aetna or Blue Cross Blue Shield have areas where coverage is limited. Having benefits that require lengthy travel dampens the perk.
8. Get references. It can require a great deal of time, depending on the size of your company, to begin using the services of an Employee Leasing company. References can calm a lot of fears regarding the consistency of payroll delivery, how workers’ comp claims have been handled and the overall service the Employee Leasing company gives to their clients.

The benefits of using Employee Leasing/ PEO services can have an immediate impact on a business’ profitability. Doing your homework up front to choose which company to partner with will determine how much!

Employee Leasing, Staffing Services… What’s the difference?

Published by admin under outsourcing

Over the years I’ve dealt with many business owners who confuse Employee Leasing (a.k.a. PEO services) with staffing or temporary labor companies. In many cases those same business owners have had experience with one or the other services, but really aren’t familiar with the differences. So what are they, and how do each benefit employers?

To begin with, an Employee Leasing company’s main benefit to an employer is to relieve the non-profit producing tasks of dealing with employee administrative hassles- such as payroll, employee benefits, human resources and workers’ compensation. By outsourcing these to an Employee Leasing company, the employer can focus on what they do best and grow their bottom line.

Throughout the years, business owners have faced increasingly escalated government rules regarding employment. Employee Leasing companies assume many of these responsibilities and provide expertise in human resource management.

An Employee Leasing company is typically the most cost-effective option for an employer when the business owner has five or more full-time employees. Costs related to workers’ compensation, unemployment tax and payroll administration are much less in comparison to a staffing or short-term employment arrangement. As you can imagine the more employees as a business has, the more time has to be devoted to employee issues- therefore the value of outsourcing this work becomes a more profitable decision.

A business can benefit by using a staffing or temporary help service in variety of ways, as well. The obvious advantage is the ability to access short-term help immediately. Whether it is a construction project with a timeline that requires temporary labor, or a secretary who takes a leave of absence for an extended period of time; accessing pre-qualified help at a moment’s notice is when these services can be an employer’s best friend.

The administrative costs such as payroll, unemployment taxes and workers’ compensation are handled by the staffing company. The employer also relieves themselves of any benefit requirements like health care, vacation, sick or holiday pay. But, there is a premium to pay for these short-term employment services. The overall employee-related costs will be much higher including fees that are added for using staffing companies. The added risks and administrative costs for the services they’re providing is exactly why staffing companies are to be used as a temporary solution.

Just as convenience and grocery stores fill a specific need, the services that Employee Leasing and staffing companies provide (although different) are an invaluable resource for businesses.
