Utah Employment Compliance Made Simple

Utah employment law has unique requirements. We help you understand what matters for your business.

Since Utah is a right-to-work state, employees cannot be required to join a union. G&A helps ensure hiring and HR policies comply with this law.

While Utah is an at-will state, employers can still face legal action for wrongful termination. It is essential to ensure every separation is handled legally to mitigate the risk of discrimination claims. G&A’s HR professionals help ensure your policies are fair and legally sound.

Most Utah employers are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance. We help you manage coverage correctly and reduce risk.

Minimum wage in Utah follows federal law, but overtime and exemptions require careful classification to avoid costly errors. Our HR experts can help you review employee classifications to ensure accuracy.

Utah operates under an OSHA-approved state plan through the Utah Occupational Safety and Health Division (UOSH) that covers private and public sector workers. A Utah PEO like G&A provides guidance and risk management to help keep you compliant.

Stay compliant with confidence — partner with a Utah PEO that knows state rules inside and out.

“This is a need-to-have.”

“[G&A] helps us understand what kind of benefits we should be offering our employees. Ninety percent of being successful in a startup is hiring the right team and attracting the right talent. Understanding how to do that from a compensation perspective [and] from a benefits perspective is critical to our ongoing growth.”

  • Scope of services delivered by G&A
  • Number of employees being paid

G&A provides transparent pricing in easy-to-understand invoices that clearly display the included services. You may also choose to add services, such as time and labor management software, for an additional fee. Costs related to workers’ compensation and employee benefits are separate costs and are not included within the PEPM.

After onboarding with G&A, you’ll transition to your dedicated service team. Your client advocate or client success manager will become your primary point of contact. Depending on the services you’ve chosen, you’ll also have access to specialists in HR, benefits, payroll, compliance, and more.
