Buyers Guide for Employee Leasing Services
Introduction to Employee Leasing companies
Every successful business relies on its employees. It’s a fact: dedicated employees are a
requirement to grow your company. Being careful with whom you hire and taking care of
them once they are contributing is a cornerstone of most successful companies.
Unfortunately, it also a fact that being an employer can be a minefield of insurance,
governmental, taxation and legal pitfalls.
In addition, it can be expensive to obtain and administer the insurance and employee
benefits programs that make your company an attractive place to work.
An Employee Leasing company can relieve the
administrative burdens while providing attractive
employee benefits options .
Employee Leasing relationships are founded on the concept of
co-employment.
This makes them the “employer of record” for tax filings,
workers’ compensation insurance
and benefit programs. Although the term has fallen into
disfavor, this is the origination of the term “employee leasing”. Entering into a
co-employment relationship with a Employee Leasing company provides HR related expertise and shifts
employment related risks onto the Employee Leasing company. You or your managers retain day-to-day business
direction of the employees and the
administrative aspects
are shifted to the Employee Leasing company. For companies
with an overworked HR staff or no HR staff at all, Employee Leasing companies offer a great way to reduce
the administrative burdens and focus on growing their business.
Is an Employee Leasing company always a co-employer?
While the Employee Leasing industry offers many options for
workers’ compensation insurance
and health insurance coverage, the determination for co-employment is determined by
the federal tax ID reporting the employee wages. A co-employment relationship requires
the wages to be reported under the tax ID of the Employee Leasing company. Employment related
responsibilities are contractually assigned between the client company in a
document called a Client Services Agreement.
How is a Employee Leasing company different from an HRO?
A Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) provider can provide similar services to a
Employee Leasing company however, an HRO company will not become a co-employers. For more
