Professional Employer Organizations Eliminate the Challenge of Hiring Back Office Support Staff

by | Sep 9, 2013 | News, Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Staffing Company

I recently read this very interesting article about how best to hire successful payroll and back office staff.

The seven most common mistakes when hiring payroll staff

While it offered some helpful tips on the hiring process, it further convinced me that it is a very difficult and time consuming task for most staffing owners given all their other responsibilities.

As I can personally attest, operating a staffing company can be a  juggling act from the time you start in the morning  to the time you close your doors each evening. From dealing with challenging clients and temporary employees, the last thing most owners want to think about is hiring and managing dedicated support staff for their back office which tend to be fixed expenses.

By using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)  the  headache of hiring and managing back office staff can largely be eliminated.  If you are having difficulty in maintaining  a quality back office staff, or they are simply getting too expensive along with your workers compensation insurance, let’s talk about how a PEO can make your life a lot easy and your business more profitable.

Five Ways to Keep Safety Top Of Mind With Your Temporary Employees

by | Aug 27, 2013 | Staffing Company, Tips

When I operated my national staffing firm for 15 years, we would always review “on the job” safety procedures during the interview and orientation process. We also tried to follow up periodically on the safety guidelines we disseminated. We found that education about the importance of safety at our staffing firm, enabled us to keep a low mod and maintain relatively low workers compensation rates.

Here are 5 things we did in our staffing firm that may help your temporary and permanent staff keep safety top of mind.

  1. Place stickers on employee pay envelopes that say “Think Safety” or “Put Safety First.” These little reminders will help employees focus on safety while they are on the job.
  2. Add a web page to your web site for employees to anonymously report unsafe acts by other employees or clients operating unsafe facilities.
  3. Reward an employee who reports a fellow employee who is fraudulently using your workers compensation benefits.
  4. Give a monthly bonus to employees who suggests how jobs can be done more safely.
  5. If you have a Company newsletter or blog, regularly include articles on ways to improve on the job safety. If you do not have a Company newsletter, Work Comp Staffing Solutions can help you create one.

Remember maintaining low workers compensation rates often depends on having a low mod; which reflects good safety practices.

Please contact me at davidstaffing@gmail or visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com.
Work Comp Staffing Solutions is ready to provide a free workers compensation quote as well as help you develop a company newsletter/ blog that promotes safety and other positive things about your staffing company.

What’s the Difference Between a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and Your State Fund for Workers Compensation Insurance?

by | Aug 19, 2013 | Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Staffing Company, Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance

Besides the obvious answer that a Professional Employer Organization will usually offer lower rates, there are many other important differences. For example,  your PEO is your business partner in helping your staffing business maintain safe operations, so it can offer lower rates than your competitors who use the State Fund.

Your PEO partnership is also unique in a few additional ways:

1. Your PEO will work with you on making sure you receive the lowest possible legitimate rates for your various job codes. Since the State knows it is usually the “last resort” for your workers compensation insurance, they really have no incentive to help you lower your rates.

2. Your  PEO will work harder to investigate accidents and claims. The PEO has an economic incentive to only pay legitimate claims, since they do not want to lose you as a client (if your rates should increase from fraudulent claims ) and they are responsible as an insurer if your claims exceed your premiums.  Conversely, the State Fund, knowing they are your  insurer of last resort, has little incentive to investigate claims.

3. The State Funds staff are usually “9-5ers.”  If you have workers compensation needs after hours, like receiving a rate for a new code, then you will have to wait until your request meets the States time table.

These are all reasons that if you are still using the State Funds for workers compensation insurance, you should get quoted with a Professional Employer Organization ASAP.
