The PEO: a Turnkey HR Solution from G&A

The objective is to control cost, improve your HR model, limit liability and protect and redirect valuable resources. If you’re a business owner, that’s important. And if you are responsible for workforce and administrative issues, G&A Partners can provide a customized, turnkey solution as a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). You can turn over all of your administrative and HR issues (payroll, benefits, HR, workers compensation, human resource outsourcing, taxes, etc.) to us so you can get down to business and spend your valuable time growing your company.

As your PEO, we are responsible for all the challenges and details associated with employment. But you, as the worksite employer, continue to supervise your staff and direct their work. Plus, you get the added benefit of our workers comp rates – which may lower your administrative costs immediately. Give us a call or send us an e-mail, and let us show you just how hassle-free a relationship with G&A can be.

Look at these important G&A turnkey HR features:

Payroll Administration
In a PEO arrangement, we become the employer of record. As such we assume responsibility, and, in some cases, liability, for most of the payroll process. You still need to gather and report time records, determine wage rates and employer contributions toward the cost of group benefits, as well as maintain personnel files. We do all the rest, including:

• Issue paychecks and direct deposits
• Withhold and deposit taxes
• File payroll tax returns
• Issue W-2s at year end
• Process garnishments
• Handle new hire reporting
• Maintain employee master file information
• Produce management, job cost and certified payroll reports

We recognize that there is no room for errors in payroll. No one wants to deal with a disgruntled employee who got paid the wrong amount or didn’t get paid at all. We have implemented a quality control process that would make the most scrupulous CPA proud. We also use state-of-the-art technology that eliminates duplicate entries and streamlines the entire process. As a result, our accuracy rate is second to none!

Employee Benefits
Employee benefit plans come in all shapes and sizes. Our job is to tailor a benefit package that meets your needs and your budget. We can design plans using a number of different insurance carriers and all types of plan options – indemnity, PPO, HMO, POS or consumer driven plans. We can vary co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance percentages, and prescription drug cards. We can add options that provide supplemental accident, serious mental health, or carry-over coverage. And we can offer multiple choice plans that allow employees to choose from more than one plan design. We do all of this so you can offer employee benefits that will help you recruit and retain qualified employees without breaking the bank.

As an alternative, if you have an employee benefit package that already meets your needs, we can fill in any gaps and administer the entire program for you. Either way, we take the burden of benefits administration from you so you can focus on the tasks that will grow your business.

Our customized benefit plans typically include the following:

• Medical
• Dental
• Vision
• Life/AD&D
• Short and Long-Term Disability
• Section 125 Plan
• 401(k) Plan
• Prepaid Legal
• Fannie Mae Home Buyer Assistance Program

Our policy provides maximum coverage at very affordable rates, thanks in large part to our purchasing power and impressive loss history.

We also provide comprehensive safety services to augment our workers comp coverage and help you maintain a safe work place. Our goal is to prevent on-the-job injuries and keep your employees healthy and productive.
