HR is a necessity when you have employees. And what could be better than taking a set of duties – which although a necessity, are not a core competence – off your plate?
According to a Small Business Association study, the average small business owner spends 25%+ of the time handling employee-related paperwork. This average increases to a staggering 35-45% if the tasks include recruitment, hiring, and training of new employees.
After all, you have no interest in processing payroll twice a month, negotiating benefits with insurance carriers, or worrying about how to comply with a litany of government regulations. You entered into business to build a lasting legacy, deliver great products or services, and generate revenue doing what you do best. So why NOT outsource HR?
Staying compliant with payroll regulations and tax codes is a constant challenge for employers. A third of small businesses are fined for incorrect payroll procedures, turning minor errors into a major problem for the company’s bottom line. Don’t let routine payroll and human resources (HR) tasks trip up your small company. When you can’t afford the staffing it would take to keep up with over 15,000 tax codes, the easiest answer is to work with a professional employer organization (PEO). PEOs manage HR, payroll, and employee benefits, ensuring that you’re compliant and current on all regulations.

Fortunately, the barriers to entry for social networking services like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn are far lower than the hurdles jumped to get from filing cabinets and card files to databases and email programs.
