Oregon Businesses Reviewing Their PEO Options.

This company runs a large cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon. As you may expect Work Comp is the major driver for this client. Per the client: Until 2022 were sheep, cattle, and hay farming. Beginning in 2022 will be cattle and hay farming only. According to NCCI our codes should be 0037, 0083, 8810, and 8989. All employees switch between jobs or classes. We report on Excel. Our WC carrier added codes they should not have added according to NCCI. We have a high experience modification due to one 80+ year old woman who has worked at the ranch since 1959. We have restricted her work. We do no work off the fee simple ranch property starting in 2021. The ranch is 52,500 acres of fee simple, contiguous land owned by me. Some employees are salary and some time clock. We pay weekly starting recently for WC reporting purposes. We have health insurance and two employees have dental insurance.

Notes from company. I have a small customization/personalization shop. I have a few CO2 and Fiber lasers which I use to cut/mark/engrave different products per customer specification. We create wedding/birthday/etc cake toppers (we cut raw mdf, clean, paint, sort, pack and ship to customers); we engrave blank cutting boards with whatever folks want. I've got plans to expand products offered, equipment used, etc. I need some help getting the "business" portion set up, I need help with figuring out taxes, payroll, procedures on hiring/firing, benefits for part time employees, etc.
