Buyers Guide for Employee Leasing Services
Signing up with a Employee Leasing company
Once you have selected your Employee Leasing company, they will assign an account representative that will
work to assemble the proper paperwork to “make things official”. The sign-up may
include I-9s (a governmental document for immigration status), W4 (for tax withholding),
benefit plan enrollments, employee pay rate establishment, direct deposit
information for employee payroll, and other necessary documents. Most PEOs can
work to import your existing payroll data (from Quickbooks or other payroll software)
directly into their HR/ payroll system. In addition, be advised that work comp
coverage for an individual employee is not effective until the paperwork is
completed for that person. Your Employee Leasing company will offer a cafeteria of cost reporting options
based on your needs and preferences for check registers and costing reports.
In addition, data feeds are available back to your general ledger programs. Also many
Employee Leasing companies can offer time-clock systems that feed time and attendance data directly to the
PEOs payroll system. Some offer the ability for managers to access real-time
attendance data. Part of the sign up also includes establishing your
vacation and sick leave policy and setting any vacation account balances.
Your StaffMarket RFP captures your requirements and ensures responding Employee Leasing companies know what you need.
Employee Leasing Billing
Each pay cycle (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or semi-monthly) your Employee Leasing company will present you with an invoice. For the most part, the PEO will not pay employees until your payment has cleared. PEOs work on thin margins and one bad account that stings them for a whole payroll is bad business for them. Most PEOs will accept wire transfers, ACH or direct debit arrangement for payment.
The on-going client-Employee Leasing company relationship
A relationship with a Employee Leasing company requires significant interaction. You will interact
with them on a regular basis for payoll, HR subjects and insurance
claims issues. Most Employee Leasing companies will assign you an HR consultant and/or payroll rep
that will be dedicated to your account. These persons are your support when
things go wrong (and they will because payroll is involved!). Most Employee Leasing companies work hard to deliver a high service level and want to keep you happy.
