6 Steps for Employing Remote Workers

employing remote workers

Remote work is a workplace model that allows staff members to work outside a traditional office environment. Although the technology required for employing remote workers has been available for a long time, the pandemic took what was once a “desirable perk” and transformed it into an “urgent necessity” almost overnight. Today, even as COVID seemingly winds down, many businesses continue to offer remote work options to attract hard-to-find talent in a tight labor market.  All that to say, remote work is now mainstream and growing in popularity amongst employees and employers alike. Employees like the flexibility and freedom remote work brings while employers enjoy boosted productivity. Though some companies felt hesitant about remote work at the start of the pandemic, data shows that the majority are willing to adopt a hybrid workplace model.  In May 2021, a Mercer study found that 70% of companies said… [Read More]

How To Hire International Workers

international workers

Running a successful business involves increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, and focusing on core competencies. Many US firms opt to hire international workers on a floating basis for their expertise and availability to accomplish the latter. Workers in other countries also benefit from the flexibility that remote work provides and competitive wages and work/life balance.  While there are many benefits to hiring foreign workers, the legal process can be challenging. With the growing use of technology facilitating remote work more than ever before, it’s imperative that organizations understand how to properly hire and pay international workers. Step 1 – Begin the interview process  Hiring any type of employee takes a significant amount of time, so it’s best to start early.

Migrating Workers: How Employer of Record Services Make Hiring Easier

out-of-state-workers

The coronavirus pandemic has shifted the way workplaces across the globe operate. Due to the need for social distancing and constant sanitation, many employers have encouraged or required their employees to work from home. The shift has also made its way into the job interview and hiring process creating opportunities for migrating workers with zoom meetings becoming the normal operating procedure for narrowing down the candidate pool. In fact, 62% of employed Americans currently say they have worked from home during the COVID-19 outbreak.  The allure and flexibility of working from home have contributed to many individuals migrating from their home state to a different state altogether.  If location no longer matters, why pay California rent prices when you can pay Idaho prices? While an employee moving between towns isn’t a major cause for concern, moving between states can leave business leaders and human resources… [Read More]

Co-employment & Risk Mitigation From Joint Employment

Co-Employment

In today’s ever-changing business environment, many companies are looking to reduce the time and money spent on recruiting, hiring, and payroll by utilizing outside agencies in a co-employment agreement.  Based on data from SHRM, it takes companies 36 days on average to fill a new position at an average cost of $4,425.  Co-employment arrangements allow busy businesses to focus on providing co-employees’ duties, day-to-day schedules, and expectations while the Recruiting Agency handles personnel matters such as onboarding, payroll, sick leave, and benefits. This hybrid form of employment means that the contract employee is technically working for both parties, the business, and the recruiting agency at the same time.  Contractors and gig workers are becoming a vital and growing force to be reckoned with in the business world so it is important for businesses to be aware of the benefits, as well as the risks associated… [Read More]

Why the future workforce will work from home

work-from-home

The work from home trend is not a new concept. Workers have been working from home from the dawn of civilization, but speaking strictly in the modern era, let’s take the past 40 years this trend has increased year after year. In 1979, with the OPEC oil embargo in its sixth year, the Washington Post published the article, “Working at Home Can Save Gasoline,” which suggests telecommuting could have eased the gas crisis. This article urged companies to introduce telecommuting to conserve gas. As you can imagine, employers were opposed to this idea initially. They used argument such as: How can you tell that the workers are doing any work at all from the comfort of their homes? Or, workers are missing out on crucial interactions with their team. But the counterarguments must have been strong enough to help support this trend as it keeps… [Read More]

Hiring on a Trial Basis

hire-on-a-trial

  Now more than ever employers are specific about finding the right candidate for their open position. They are looking for the perfect match: a candidate that is both skilled and fits the company’s culture. To accomplish this, many are taking the approach of hiring a potential candidate on a temp-to-hire or temp-to-permanent basis in order to evaluate the worker on the job. Think of it as an extended job interview that allows both the employer and candidate to ensure they’re right for each other before committing to a long term relationship. Is it starting to sound like the dating world? If it is, it’s because the parallels are very similar. There are advantages in hiring on trial basis: It allows the employer to evaluate a candidate in their job environment. Reduces employer risk should the candidate not be the right fit If it is… [Read More]

The Differences Between an Employer of Record and a PEO

eor-vs-peo

Employer of Record (EOR) is a service provided by companies that act as the legal employer for a worker on behalf of another company. The EOR takes on responsibilities such as payroll, taxes, and compliance with employment laws, allowing the client company to focus on its core business activities. The worker is considered an employee of the EOR, but performs duties for the client company. This arrangement is often used in situations where a company wants to expand into a new geographic location or to hire independent contractors. Studies show that workers that work from home display greater satisfaction and lower stress levels than workers commuting to the company’s offices. Remote employees enjoy the flexibility that remote work offers and often choose to live in different cities or states than their employer. As technology and culture evolve, there is less need for employees to be… [Read More]

Difference Between an Employer of Record & Staffing Agency

employer-of-record-vs-staffing-agency

It is not uncommon to hear employer of record services equated with staffing services. Although the two are mutually beneficial, an employer of record is a separate entity from a staffing agency, each with distinct functions and responsibilities. Roles A collaborative relationship exists between an employer of record and its client, which can be a business or a staffing agency. While an employee works for the client, the employer of record assumes the role of the legal employer for tax purposes. The employer of record handles all administrative functions, such as payroll processing, federal & state tax withholding and filing, record-keeping, and all HR support functions. The EOR also conducts pre-employment screening such as background checks and drug testing, in addition to human resources functions such as administering benefits, termination of employees, and all other worker issues. On the other hand, a staffing agency recruits… [Read More]

Generations in the Workplace

generations in the workplace

A new multi-generational workforce poses both challenges and opportunities for today’s employer. An increase in average retirement age and life expectancy have created an unprecedented five generations coexisting in the modern workforce, also known as the “5G Workforce.” Each generation brings to the workplace a different set of character traits, behavioral patterns and value systems. These differing perceptions and values are a potential source of conflict, frustration and misunderstanding. Unresolved conflict among employees decreases productivity, morale and motivation. Employers must understand generational differences and use this understanding to manage generational diversity. Once properly managed, an employer can capitalize on the unique strengths of this diverse workforce. Successful management of the 5G workforce begins with an understanding of not only the differences among generations, but the environment that shaped those differences. The five generations of the modern workforce include: • Traditionalists: Employees born 1945 and before… [Read More]
