Workers’ compensation is arguably the cheapest and best insurance coverage an employer can buy. Employers receive a protection no other insurance coverages provide by way of a principle called the exclusive remedy. To understand that statement, it’s necessary to look at the history of workers’ compensation.
HR has come a long way over the years. Gone are the days where your human resources department was solely in charge of organizing paperwork and hiring new employees. In fact, you may be surprised how much HR has evolved over the years and what all now falls under its umbrella.
As you already know, there are a lot of benefits associated with working with a professional employer organization (PEO). Not only does this give your company someone to take over the responsibility of handling much of your time-consuming paperwork, it also opens the door to a variety of other bonuses you wouldn’t have otherwise, including PEO insurance benefits.
Whether you are a small company or a large corporation, you always want to make sure you have a solid human resource policy in place. This is why we have decided to take the time and outline the most common HR policy mistakes and show you how you can avoid them.
The Small Business Efficiency Act, or SBEA, was re-introduced in 2013 by Senators Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Bill Nelson, D-Fla., as S.479. NAPEO (National Association of Professional Employer Organizations) president and CEO Pat Cleary said, “The Small Business Efficiency Act (S.479) will improve tax compliance and create needed certainty for small businesses so that they can focus on growing their companies while leaving benefits administration and tax compliance to the experts in the PEO industry. Legislation is long overdue to recognize and certify PEOs, an important provider of solutions for small businesses on everything from health care to regulatory compliance.”
The relationship you have with your payroll services company can easily be one of the most important ones you have in terms of your business. Not only is this who you are trusting to handle the responsibility of paying your employees, they are also in charge of managing your business’s tax information and your benefits program. With so much tied into one outside source, how can you tell whether or not you chose the right one?
You may not realize it, but your company’s human resource department is the most valuable asset of your business. Not only does this department make sure all internal workings of your company run smoothly, it is also who is responsible for ensuring your employees get paid in a timely manner.
On November 22, 2016, the Department of U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) released a new version of the I-9 Form. This announcement is long expected as the previous version expired on March 31, 2016.
When it comes to employment compliance, the Form I-9 is very important. This is the form used to verify your employees’ work eligibility status. By not correctly following the Form I-9 compliance guidelines, employers risk paying hefty fines and penalties for each violation.
To help ensure your business is following all the rules surrounding this document, we have compiled a list of what you need to know to correctly follow Form I-9 compliance. This list is not meant to be considered as comprehensive.
