In light of the pandemic, working from home or “remotely” is becoming more common. Managing a remote working team not only saves employers money, but it can also increase overall productivity. However, staying compliant with the vast number of different hiring rules for various states can be a daunting task for any manager. Knowing the rules in every state where employees reside when growing a successful business is key to remote hiring.
The process of staying compliant is time-consuming and takes away precious time from running a business. However, if employers are not compliant, the cost of fees and penalties can quickly add up.
An attorney familiar with each state’s rules and regulations can assist employers, but this can get very costly, very quickly. Instead, consider working with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). A PEO, like Optimum Employer Solutions, handles all of the time-consuming paperwork dealing with employees, including those in other states. A reputable PEO can handle the ins and outs of every state where employees reside, giving owners the peace of mind that they will remain compliant while allowing them to focus on growing their business.
The top three human resource (HR) factors employers should consider include:
With fifty different state laws and even more county and city rules and regulations pertaining to employees, many employers have turned to PEOs for assistance. Providing employers with the assurance that they are in compliance with employee labor laws, no matter which states the employee happens to reside in is why Optimum Employer Solutions is the best solution to help employers stay in compliance with all of these laws.
