Work Comp Staffing Solutions Expands Staffing Consulting Services

transforming daily chaos into long-term stability

Work Comp Staffing Solutions has specialized in workers compensation solutions for staffing firms for the last 7 years and is now expanding its services in to management consulting. As a 25 year staffing industry veteran, with 17 years experience operating a 60 office staffing firm, I saw the need for this type of hands on and affordable management consulting in the staffing industry. Most recently I was asked by my PEO clients to help them control costs and operate more efficiently. Many firms these days have been suffering from a variety of operating issues including reduced margins because  of increases in  workers compensation and SUTA costs and as well as increased competition.

One of our new  Work Comp Staffing Solutions Consulting clients  is Teramar Staffing Solutions which is a 8M multi state staffing company. Scott Prast the owner of Teramar felt that he needed to improve profitability quickly in order to deal with the higher costs of his 2013 payroll burden. By analyzing the pricing and labor costs related to each client, and developing a business strategy to improve his margins, Work Comp Staffing Solutions has helped Scott increase Teramar’s overall profits– in addition to finding a workers compensation PEO solution. Work Comp Staffing Solutions is also helping Scott improve the efficiency of his sales and marketing programs in order to decrease costs and improve sales productivity.

Professional Employer Organization Vensure, Provides Insights To The Staffing Workers Compensation Market

About a year ago Advance Payroll Funding President  Adam Stern, asked Vensure Professional Employer Organization (PEO) about the workers compensation market.  I recently re read that article from 2012, and felt that the information was even more relevant today than a year ago. I would like to share it with you via this link.

http://www.advancepayroll.com/full-story.aspx

The reason it is even more important today is that the workers compensation insurance market for staffing companies has become more difficult to navigate and to secure affordable insurance. There are only a handful of qualified PEO’s still accepting staffing companies as clients; and usually only if they are referred by an experienced PEO broker like Work Comp Staffing Solutions.  As of June 1, Work Comp Staffing Solutions has over 45 staffing company clients that generate nearly 50M in annual payroll throughout the country.

Please contact me TODAY  at davidstaffing@gmail.com and visit our web site at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com for a free PEO quote.

BOTTOM LINE……WE HAVE THE RIGHT PEO RELATIONSHIPS TO HELP YOUR STAFFING BUSINESS.

Workers Compensation Insurance Fraud — This Price Was Not Right

This US postal employee seemed to be enjoying the good life while she was collecting workers compensation benefits at her employer’s  (the Federal Government) expense. This story/link describes all the fun physical activities she enjoyed while supposedly hurt, and how this abuse went on for years at Uncle Sam’s expense.

The good thing about this story is that through the vigilance of a workers compensation insurance investigator, this employee was identified and the fraud was finally stopped– but seemingly after quite a few years.  This type of investigation should  be happening by all workers compensation insurance companies in order to keep your rates low. It certainly does with Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) where they treat their relationship with you as a real partnership in order to keep costs low.

Please feel free to contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com  and visit Work Comp Staffing Solutions at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com,  to discuss  how a PEO can both lower your workers compensation costs and reduce your back office expenses.

Vice President Biden Files Workers Compensation Claim

They say you can not believe everything that is on the Internet.. but I am not so sure about this.  According to the Onion, Vice President Biden is collecting workers compensation benefits for spraining his back in the Rose Garden.  The complete article is in the link below.

— http://www.theonion.com/articles/biden-investigated-for-questionable-workers-comp-c,32571/

The critical issue for us as taxpayers is whether President Obama is trying to find light duty for the Vice President, which is always a good way to keep your workers compensation costs low.  To be sure, with our budget deficit the government needs to watch workers compensation claims by all its employees closely.

Mr. President, and all staffing owners, please feel free to contact me about how a Professional Employer Organization can help keep your workers compensation costs  as low as possible. Should an accident occur, even at the White House,  your PEO will develop light duty plans  to get your employee back to work.  .

Workers Compensation Insurance Industry Beginning To Turn Around….VERY Slowly.

The link below discusses the improving trends in the workers compensation markets.  While many carriers are still recovering from a period of poor returns  between 2006 -2010,  there does seem to be some encouraging signs recently that profits at the carriers have increased as a result of lower losses  and higher premiums in most industry categories.

— http://www.workcompwire.com/2013/05/nccis-outlook-on-workers-compensation-industry-encouraging/

Though from our experience at Work Comp Staffing Solutions,  it may be another 12-24 months before carriers and begin to get comfortable underwriting staffing companies.  We believe an unintended consequence of the ACA is that workers compensation carriers are concerned about how staffing companies will deal with the implementation of the Act and how it will impact their costs.

A great way to manage all these new back office expenses and new regulatory liabilities like the ACA, is by partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) via a skilled broker like Work Comp Staffing Solutions.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about PEO’s  at davidstaffing@gmail.com  and visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com
