This vignette about workers compensation insurance and unemployment fraud in Spain is almost too unbelievable. Below is the link to the article that will make you cringe, laugh, and cry — almost all at the same time
— http://www.workerscompensation.com/compnewsnetwork/from-bobs-cluttered-desk/16620-having-a-hand-in-insurance-fraud.html
So if you think the US workers compensation system has its problems, just be grateful you are not an employer in Spain.
Remember if you are insured through a State Fund, you should look at utilizing a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) which can usually offer you better workers compensation rates and always offer much greater back office value for your money.

Here is a link detailing the 68M in humongous bonuses that California State Fund Managers and Executives are receiving while approving huge rate increases to customers and running the fund into the ground.

I wonder how many other State Funds are approving big bonuses at the expense of their staffing stakeholders aka customers? Staffing companies deserve a workers compensation partner that cares more about keeping rates low and competitive, than prospering at the expense of their “stakeholders.”
Please feel free to contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com or visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com to discuss how you can start utilizing a workers compensation partner that cares more about your business than their next huge Payday from the State Fund.
All the best

Sometimes staffing companies can only get workers compensation through the State Funds. Both private carriers and Professional Employer Organizations (PEO’s) may not be willing to provide workers compensation coverage. But the staffing company still wants all the great human resources and payroll management services that PEO’s provide like:
- Payroll and workers compensation administration and management
- Payroll tax filings and W-2’s
- Health care benefit administration including the new Affordable Care Act.
- Human Resource functions.
The Administrative Service Organization will perform all these functions for the staffing company. The employees are 100% the staffing companies, and there is not a “co employment relationship” with the employees like with a PEO. ASO’s have been around for the last 20 years as the complexity of managing employees for staffing companies has grown exponentially.
Please feel free to contact me at 202-302-1212 if you would like to see how an ASO can meet your staffing companies needs. Also visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com

Today there are many staffing experts offering options about how to minimize your cost exposure under the ACA.
Most of these experts agree that after January 1, 2013, the US labor market, and in particular the staffing industry will be very different. Maybe good and maybe not so.
I receive many calls every day from successful staffing owners who are researching options about how to best integrate this new law and cost structure into their business model. They are considering new business models for themselves in order to stay profitable. One option that many staffing companies are looking at is utilizing a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) as an inexpensive way to comply with these new laws AND reduce their workers compensation costs.
Please feel free to contact me at 202-302-1212 to discuss how PEO’s can help your staffing business manage under this new ACA law. For more information about ACA please visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com

March was a very busy month for Work Comp Staffing Solutions. We helped 6 diverse staffing companies partner with Professional Employer Organizations (PEO’s.)
Success #1. 2M staffing company in Maryland had been cancelled by their current carrier and needed workers compensation insurance to service their current clients, and 1M in immediate new business. All their codes were light industrial with a focus on mail room positions; and they had a 1.6 mod!
Success #2. New staffing company in California. This company places medical professionals all through Northern California and could not wait the 6 month’s that it usually takes for the California State Fund to process their paperwork. We found them a PEO to partner within a week, as well as payroll funding company, so they were ready to do business.
Success #3. Florida based medical staffing company that places occupational and physical therapists in permanent positions for 12 years and was driven by client demand to expand into temporary and contract staffing throughout the United States. We also found a staffing funding company (with very low rates) to finance their A/R expansion.
Success #4. Georgia IT staffing company using the State Fund found it less expensive to utilize a PEO that offered a more extensive menu of health care benefits to its employees, and could service their growth into other states.
Success #5. New start -up staffing company in Tennessee that focuses on light industrial positions. The owners said they selected a Work Comp Staffing Solutions PEO solution because of the value added staffing consulting service that Work Comp Staffing Solutions uniquely offers its clients.
Success # 6. White collar staffing company had unexpectedly been dropped by Travelers after 6 years even though they had a clean loss comp record. We found them a PEO solution in 48 hours which allowed them seamless work comp coverage
