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.

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

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.

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.

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. .

The Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation Commission (BWCC) was researching an employee’s workers compensation claim that she was not able to work because of her health issues following a work related accident. — for which she was collecting work comp benefits. A visit by the BWCC to her Facebook site and her other on line accounts indicated that she was on another job working, while collecting benefits. She received over $60,000 in fraudulent benefits– at her employer’s expense. Needless to say the BWCC (and her employer) were not too pleased to find out about this fraud. See link below.

Using social media to check on employees who are collecting workers compensation and unemployment benefits may be a relatively new though very useful way to engage the Internet for your business.
Professional Employer Organizations or PEO’s are another business tool that you can use to your advantage in order to reduce your workers compensation and back office costs. For a FREE quote, please contact me at davidstaffing@gmail.com and visit us at www.StaffingCompSolutions.com

Here is an excellent article about the “potential health risks” that your applicants may be bringing with them when they work with your agency. Co morbidity is a significant reason that medical costs are increasing in the workers compensation arena. For example, the US population is generally less healthy in terms of obesity than it was 40 years ago. As a result, the recovery time and costs after a workers compensation accident occurs, can be longer and more expensive to you as an employer.

While it is hard to generalize from one legal case, this one may help you to understand why partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can save you time and money.
A Customer Service representative sued her employer after she was fired for having anxiety attacks which forced her to take time away from the job. The employee was fired after taking a few days off without telling the employer. She was subsequently awarded 16M because the (California) court felt she earned this amount in damages (please do not ask me to explain this amount) Actually she was awarded only 5.1M, but the court added treble damages so the total was 21M. See this case/link below

The take away from this story is two fold. First California can be a very expensive state to employ people, Second, employing people these days without the use of a human resource specialist like a PEO is inviting trouble.
Had the employer been using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) they may not have made this personnel mistake, and more importantly, certainly would have had a qualified human resource/ legal partner to help deal with the aftermath of this management decision.
