Many staffing companies that are in the assigned risk or state workers compensation pools are finding that their 2014 premiums are making business much less profitable. They are searching for solutions and new business models so they can still eek out a profit this year, or even stay in business. Especially, since the governmental regulations for the new health care law (ACA) may significantly add to staffing companies administration costs.
I speak to dozens of frustrated staffing company owners each month about these issues. An increasing popular solution to decrease workers compensation costs and address the ACA liabilities, is using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO.)
Please feel free to contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com or www.StaffingCompSolutions.com to obtain a quote to determine if partnering with a Professional Employer Organization can save you money in your workers compensation and administrative areas.
I used a PEO in my staffing company for many years and it saved thousands of dollars each year.
I look forward to saving you money in 2014.

Many of my staffing clients are frustrated when they tell me that THEIR clients do not feel responsible when a temporary employee gets hurt at their location. But according to very specific guidelines from OSHA, THEIR client certainly bares some of the responsibility in this situation. This is a fact that is unfortunately lost on many of their clients. As a result, some staffing client companies do not always make sure that the temporary workers perform their jobs in a safe environment.
Here is great page of information from the OSHA web site that explains your clients responsibilities when they utilize your temporary staffing service. This information may be very useful to include in your client orientation material.

Dependable Business Solutions, a Work Comp Staffing Solutions client, talks about their PEO relationship.
“We use a Professional Employer Organization (PEO ) for all of our back office needs, at first we only thought of our PEO as a great payroll and workers comp processer, but as we needed more things for government contracting we have added so much more. We now have all of our business insurance with our PEO from workers comp, general liability, professional liability, auto, crime and performance bonding. We always go to our PEO first for anything that we need for any contract and we have found that not only do our PEO offer the services but they have been 20 to 30% lower in price. The level of service and the low cost is unmatched in the industry. Our PEO has a group of professionals that are always ready to help and usually can get me answers within a few hours. I can get quotes on deals that I’m trying to make with clients that are very competitive and protect us to the maximum. We now have all of our business insurances, back ground screening, drug screening, employee hand books and benefits with our PEO.
All does things have helped us to maintain a strong and competitive stand in our industry nationwide but to tell you the truth the most important thing that we like about using a PEO is that they became duel employer with us and took the responsibility of making sure that we are always in compliance with the current and changing employment laws. Finally, NO MORE WORKERS COMP AUDITS or down payments every year.
The only thing I wish I would have done differently is that I would have joined them 17 years ago when we first opened our doors.”

(and lower work comp rates too!)
In the most recent edition of Staffing Success from the American Staffing Association, there was an excellent article explaining the application of the new ACA laws for the staffing industry. The authors discussed the significant amount of new paperwork and administration associated with correctly applying this new law to staffing companies.
These increased administrative responsibilities (and liabilities) makes the value equation for using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) as your back office/workers compensation solution that much more significant.
This article/link discusses the advantages of using PEO’s to deal with your new ACA responsibilities.

As a PEO broker exclusively working with staffing companies, I find that most staffing owners join PEO’s initially to lower their work comp rates; but stay for years because the business model and administrative services make their staffing business more efficient.
Please feel free to contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com or www.StaffingCompSolutions.com to discuss how a PEO can help lower costs in your business as well as enable you to meet the new paperwork demands of the ACA.

(Elves complain of unsafe working environment)
It was only a matter of time before the the Federal Government/OSHA got involved in Santa’s business. To be sure, Santa’s employment lawyers will probably argue that the North Pole (where the toys are manufactured) is not covered by US labor law. But of course, the recipients of the toys are largely the well behaved kids in America, hence justifying the Federal government’s/ OSHA involvement.
You can read about Santa’s woes in this article
.– http://www.workerscompinsider.com/2013/12/santas-workshop.html
While Work Comp Staffing Solutions believes in best safety practices for all employees, we do feel that Santa’s elves have a special relationship with him, and that it is best left for the elves to solve their own work place challenges.
Hopefully, Santa will work things out with OSHA (and the elves) soon, so next year’s toys will be not be further delayed.
