Plumbing M.D. Needed to Fix a Few Processes and Turned to Paychex PEO

Plumbing M.D. was trying to navigate the labor laws in California and experienced some employee issues. The longtime family business turned to Paychex PEO, which provided a dedicated HR Professional who helped the company develop a consistent approach to the process, introduced trainings, and freed up time for the ownership group to focus on growing the business.

“With Paychex PEO there is just a huge increase of knowledge (on our part) about best practices for running a business, especially in California where there’s also a lot of compliance and labor laws that seem to change all the time.”

Why Do Companies Outsource Benefits Administration and Other Areas of HR?
Some companies consider outsourcing if they’re struggling to find the right balance between efficiency and cost. They may choose to seek HR help from a third party when the department’s entire focus is on administrative tasks, HR is becoming a cost center, or they’re struggling to keep up with regulatory requirements.

Some common reasons that a company chooses to outsource human resource functions include:
- Saving money by reducing operating expenses
- Controlling risk and improving compliance
- Streamlining HR functions
- Reducing HR administrative expenses
- Improving service delivery
- Allowing HR staff to focus more on strategic areas of the business
- Lack of in-house expertise

The area of human resources is nuanced. There are many things to consider if your business is formalizing an HR department, particularly if you're handling tasks on your own. Just a few areas that HR handles are health care legislation, paid leave laws, state-sponsored retirement plan requirements, and hiring and termination. You may want to make the case for HR services to help with simple administrative tasks or a more comprehensive outsourced HR management program.

When HR falls to office managers and administrative professionals, seek out training in human resources to help ensure that you know how to proceed when carrying out day-to-day personnel tasks. This can also include joining a professional organization such as the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and taking advantage of free online resources specifically geared toward HR topics. This is also a great time to consider strategic outsourcing to ensure that you understand and are up to date with applicable regulations and know how they apply to your company.
