Reduce Your Workers Compensation Insurance Costs

By Effectively Using Light Duty Assignments With Your Injured Employees

When I owned my own multi state, 25K+  employee staffing company for 16 years, I often had discussions with my Professional Employer Organization (PEO)  workers compensation risk management specialist about how I could control my workers compensation insurance costs. My PEO representative would remind me that the easiest  and most direct way to lower my premiums, was to make sure that an injured worker  is offered light duty assignments as soon as they get the green light from the medical doctor treating their injury.

Best Practices for using Light Duty Assignments

I followed that advice and always maintained a very low mod.  Below is a GREAT article about best practices for using Light Duty effectively.

After you have had a chance to review this article, let’s talk about other ways to reduce your workers compensation insurance and back office costs by partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO.)

Remember,   I am available 7 days a week to help my clients address  their staffing workers compensation  concerns.  Please feel free to contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com and visit our web site at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com.

Cell Phone Use On The Job …. What Is Your Safety Policy?

by | Jan 29, 2014 | News, Staffing Company, Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance

One of my clients recently mentioned that his workers compensation rates were significantly increasing  because of an employee that experienced a major job related accident while texting on a staffing assignment.

Given that nearly everyone has a cell phone these days, I wondered how many of my clients had a specific policy about cell phone usage while on the temporary assignment?

I asked 15 of my clients and  found out only a few had included any information in their employee orientation  packages or really emphasized this issue with their staff.

Below is a link to an article that may help you formulate a company policy about cell phone usage on the job;  and how best to communicate best safety practices to your temporary employee staff.

With workers compensation  becoming more expensive and more difficult to secure and maintain, ALL staffing company  owners need to work with their employees to create the safest working environment. By staying current  with on the job safety guidelines, you will  protect your employees and keep your comp rates as low as possible. .

Shopping for a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

by | Jan 27, 2014 | Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Staffing Company, Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance

As more and more staffing companies use a PEO to reduce their soaring workers compensation insurance rates, it is important that they thoroughly review the PEO’s credentials with an experienced staffing PEO broker.
Here are some simple guidelines  to follow with your staffing-PEO broker.

  1. Make sure the PEO is  reputable and a  legally insured PEO.
  2. Confirm the authenticity  of the PEO’s certificate of insurance.
  3. Find out what services the PEO will offer. Meet the people who provide the services.
  4. Check the company’s references. Make sure they are paying payroll taxes.
  5. Determine if the company is a member of the  National Association of
    Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO.)
  6. How does the PEO cover ACA benefits? Is it licensed in particular states? – Are they  self insured? – Who is their carrier?
  7. Review your liability in the service agreement.

Work Comp Staffing Solutions specializes in PEO’s that work with staffing companies.  This is a rarity these days– especially PEO’s willing to underwrite light industrial codes. Work Comp Staffing Solutions vets and screens all its’  PEO partners using these guidelines.  As a result, we work with very reputable and experienced PEO’s that can easily pass the strictest due diligence process.  For a free quote, please feel free to contact us at davidstaffing@gmail.com and visit us at   www.StaffingCompSolutions.com

Who is Responsible When a Temporary Employee Gets Hurt On The Job?

by | Jan 20, 2014 | Staffing Company, Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance

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.

PEO’s Can Help Staffing Companies Implement the ACA

by | Jan 6, 2014 | Affordable Care Act, News, Professional Employer Organization (PEO), Workers Comp, Workers' Compensation Insurance

(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.
