Here are some key business processes we offer. If you want more information, please contact us by telephone or e-mail.
HR Compliance Audits
G&A Partners works with its clients to reduce the risk of legal liability through improved compliance with laws and regulations and employee education. We use a detailed audit program to analyze compliance and identify areas of concern relative to hiring, firing, compensation, benefits, training, supervision and records retention. We then develop and help implement plans to shore up the problem areas. We also train managers and employees on the rules and regulations they are expected to follow.
Recruitment
Hiring the best employees is probably the most challenging task facing any employer. We help our clients find and retain the right people. Our process starts with the development of appropriate job descriptions and the identification of the key characteristics of the best possible candidates. We then post ads, screen incoming resumes and pre-screen suitable candidates by phone. Next, we refer the best candidates to our clients for interviews. After the interview process, we support the recruitment of potential employees with background investigations and testing. If you need help filling open positions with outstanding people, put us to work.
Employee Handbooks
We have compiled employee handbooks for hundreds of clients—addressing attendance, benefits, compensation, compliance, leave and a number of other issues. These handbooks provide our clients with a first line of defense. Likewise, they provide our clients' employees with clear direction and understanding.
Benefits Administration
Employees expect comprehensive group benefits, but the cost of providing these benefits is escalating rapidly. We help clients deal with this dilemma by designing group benefit programs that can fit any budget. These programs can include group medical, dental, vision, life, accident and disability insurance. Once the plan is put in place we also handle a number of administrative tasks associated with the plan, including invoice reconciliation and payment, COBRA and HIPAA compliance and claims resolution. If you are frustrated with your current benefits plan and would like to explore your options, give one of our licensed life and health insurance agents a call.
Payroll Administration
We process payroll for hundreds of companies. We issue paychecks, remit payroll taxes, file payroll tax returns, process garnishments and handle new hire reporting. We also provide a myriad of management reports, including job cost, departmental and certified reports. Our work frees up client personnel to work on other matters. It also relieves the client of the challenges and liabilities associated with of non-compliance and the many rules and filing deadlines. Our accuracy rate is second to none, and our rates compete very favorably with those of national payroll processing firms.
Training
To help our clients improve productivity, we provide all sorts of skill-enhancement training, including Socratic Selling, customer service training, communication in the workplace, team building and much more. To protect our clients from potential litigation, we also provide training on such topics as sexual harassment, workplace diversity, age discrimination, FMLA compliance and many other relevant topics.
EEO Investigations
Employee claims of discrimination or harassment must be taken very seriously. Investigating these claims thoroughly is essential and is best done by an independent party following legally prescribed rules. Our HR specialists are available to investigate employee claims of misconduct and report their findings and recommendations to you. Their independence helps ensure objectivity and confidentiality.
Workers' Compensation Claims Administration
From the first report of injury through the ultimate closure of the case, we handle workers' compensation claims for nearly 150 clients. Our claims adjusters are licensed by the state and possess expertise and skills that most clients cannot afford to hire on their own. Our work includes monitoring medical bills, implementing return to work programs, preparing bona fide job offers, monitoring doctor and physical therapy visits and maintaining constant communication with injured employees.
Unemployment Claims Administration
We currently handle unemployment claims for clients that collectively employ nearly 50,000 people. They choose to outsource this function to take advantage of our systems and expertise and to focus their attention on more strategic issues. We handle unemployment claims from the receipt of the notice from the state to the final decision, including the appellate process.
Risk Management
We work with hundreds of companies on an ongoing basis to help them more effectively manage risk. We develop and help implement master safety plans, conduct onsite safety inspections, provide safety training and administer safety incentive and return-to-work programs. We can also provide workers' compensation, general liability, and other forms of business assurance through our strategic alliance with Cravens/Warren Insurance Agency. All of these services help protect your assets and provide your employees with a safe working environment.
