PEO programs for General Merchandise companies

General Merchandise Employee Leasing quotes

General Merchandise companies across the United States are often turning to PEOs and employee leasing programs to improve operating efficiencies in their companies. Companies involved in the General Merchandise business can obtain access to competitively priced workers’ compensation insurance and provide better employee benefits for their employees.

Your General Merchandise company is in business to make money. As a business manager your goals should be simple. Increased revenue (sales), decreased costs (expenses) equals more profit. However many times the administrative aspects of running a General Merchandise business can overwhelm even the hardest working owners and managers. Spending precious executive time handling these tasks often means that a focus on revenue growth gets shortchanged. Engaging a PEO to handle these non-revenue producing activities can improve your General Merchandise company’s opportunity for success and profit.

What can a PEO do for your company?

Payroll Management

Regardless of the way a General Merchandise company handles payroll, a PEO will work with your preferred method. PEOs are adept at handling all types of payrolls including, hourly, salaried commissioned and piece-work based wages. A PEO will also handle all tax withholding and payments to the government. Using a PEO ensures that your payroll is handled properly. Learn more about PEO payroll services.

Work Comp Insurance Administration

PEOs offer a great workers’ compensation insurance program for General Merchandise companies. Obtaining competitively priced coverage is part of the program when you join a PEO. A Peo will provide your employees with work comp coverage (mandated in all states except Texas). In addition a PEO will help establish or improve your General Merchandise company safety program. All claims are against the policy of the PEO and they will work to ensure claims are administered fairly and in a timely fashion. All PEO programs are “pay-as-you-go” and eliminate the need to make a large insurance deposit in order to get coverage in place. Learn more about PEO workers compensation insurance.

Estimated Federal Regulatory Costs per Employee:

PEOs offer some relief (in the form of assistance) from the regulatory burdens often faced by General Merchandise companies. According to a 2005 study provided by the Small Business Administration (See Page 13), the regulatory burdens on small and medium sized business are:

Type of Regulation

All Firms

<20 Employees

20-499 employees

500+ employees
All Federal Regulations $5,633 $7,647 $5,411 $5,282
Economic $2,567 $2,127 $2,372 $2,952
Workplace $922 $920 $1,051 $841
Environmental $1,249 $3,296 $1,040 $710
Tax Compliance $894 $1,304 $948 $780

According to this SBA study, the regulatory costs for Workplace compliance and Tax compliance averages $2,000 per employee per year for companies with less than 500 employees. PEO and employee leasing programs often cost less than half this amount. PEO and employee leasing programs can help reduce federal regulatory costs to your General Merchandise company or any other type of business. In addition this table does not include any costs for State regulatory burdens (like state unemployment taxes or state imposed workers’ compensation insurance costs). These costs are often significant amounts in addition to the amounts shown here. Learn more about PEO and employee leasing cost savings.
