Anasha, You came across one of the biggest secrets among entrepreneurs and small business owners. There are over 700 integrated HR Outsourcing companies across the United States. Some offer a comprehensive level of services which includes a choice of quality health, dental, and disability plans at affordable rates, 401k plans, leading HRIS platforms, and expert HR compliance and support services.
Other companies just provide low cost payroll services and workers compensation coverage. Fees range from $1000 - $1500 per employee per year for a high level service firm. You can find providers for $800 and less, but don’t expect much more than basic services.
There are several outstanding HR Outsourcing companies based in California that can provide the level and quality of services you need. Comparing the fees between PEOs or employee leasing companies can be very challenging. Business owners should consider the services of HR Outsourcing consultants before signing any agreements.
Good Luck.
