Employee Leasing Quotes : PEO Blog

Part I: Payroll

If you’ve started looking into employee leasing/ PEO services, the core questions you’re looking to have answered are probably, “What’s in for me?” or “How will I benefit?”

Because each employer has his/ her own set of business dilemmas, goals and objectives- there could be just one or several services provided by the PEO that could dramatically impact your business.

There are four core services provided through an employee leasing arrangement. This week I’ll list a number of questions for you to consider that may answer the question, “How could a PEO help me manage my payroll issues?”

1. Complete payroll management consists of so much more than just entering in hours and kicking out paychecks. Do you know your current costs for complete payroll management?

With a PEO, you’ll know to the penny every pay period. Usually, the costs are much less than doing it in-house.

2. Payroll generates zero income for your business. Could the person responsible for payroll be doing something that generates profit (marketing, phone calling prospects, collections, etc.)?

A PEO lets you direct all of your resources toward income-producing ideas.

3. Do you buy or upgrade payroll software, forms and checks regularly?

You can eliminate software programs, new governmental forms and the purchase of payroll checks with a PEO service.

4. Are your payroll and tax deposits always on time and accurate?

1 in 3 businesses every year pay fines and penalties for mistakes. A PEO assumes the liabilities associated with timely and accurate tax deposits.

5. Do you have wage garnishments checks to be issued - and has that become an annoyance?

PEO services take this common headache away.

Is there one (or several) of these payroll questions that you can identify with as a problem? You may find other issues that you can identify with when we look at workers’ compensation.

If you’re one of the thousands of business owners out there waiting for our elected leaders to offer you some help during the current economic crisis – keep dreaming! The fact is, those of us who keep driving forward, never even considering anything less than survival on our own will weather this cloud. We always do.

But I know you’re looking at every way to work smarter, cut costs where you can and run a tight operation. If you haven’t heard of employee leasing, also known as PEO services, here’s your business rescue plan.

An employee leasing company handles all of the annoying headaches related to payroll management, workers’ compensation, employee benefits and keeps you in compliance with all our on-going, never-ending governmental regulations. Now, before I get into the real “meat” of the benefits and services, realize not one of those tasks brings in a single dime of profit to your business.

So let’s look at the benefits of these services for your business. A PEO will deliver on time and accurate payroll checks and reports. They’ll deduct and electronically remit all of your payroll taxes. File the quarterly tax reports and issue year-end W-2s . Remit child support payments and other payroll garnishments. Even deal with unemployment claims and appeals. Okay, what else- you ask?

Well, imagine if companies actually competed for your Workers’ Compensation Insurance- instead of the state, an agent or some crazy formula controlling your costs? An employee leasing company can provide you huge savings on your workers’ compensation insurance (typically 15-40%) that traditional insurance carriers can’t.  You won’t be paying any large up-front deposits that can run thousands of dollars. You’re actually on a pay-as-you use plan, which means you’ll never deal with the frustrations of another audit again! And employee benefits?

How about access to the same employee benefits of Fortune 500 companies? PEO services include group major medical and other health plans, dental and vision plans, 401(k) retirement plans, even life insurance coverage. Many employers have seen their group health insurance premiums drop by as much as 30%!

Plus, you’ll have help on compliance issues, such as EEOC/ADA/DOL/FMLA and all the other acronyms we have the time to keep up with. And in today’s litigious environment, you can’t just hire and fire someone without the worries of being sued, so you’ll get help with that, too.

So what will you save? Well, it depends on your current situation but there’s no doubt you’ll save time and money when you outsource the time-wasters and experience the freedom to work on ideas that really matter – like growing your bottom line.

Keep More of What You Earn.

We’ll Show You How.

#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!

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.

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.
