Human Resources (HR) is perhaps the most important department in a small business. Managing your employees is a major job
that should be handled by qualified professionals. At Total Employee Leasing, we have a full-service HR department dedicated
to administering employee benefits, maintaining personnel records, and handling crisis situations in a smooth, discreet manner.

Maintaining employee records is a good business practice. It ensures that employees are able to enjoy the benefits they have
earned and that employees do not receive benefits to which they are not entitled. It is also a requirement of the U.S. Department
of Labor. Employment laws such as the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the Family
and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), have certain recordkeeping and/or reporting requirements for covered, nonexempt workers.
Total Employee Leasing can help your business maintain good employee records. Our payroll executives keep records of
employee wages, withholdings and deductions. These services are integrated with our HR department to ensure accurate
recordkeeping for your business.
Handling unemployment claims and hearings is a difficult task. A hearing is like a trial and if you are representing yourself,
you are in effect your own lawyer. Normally, the hearings are formally structured telephone conference calls. You must be familiar
with the issues in the case and the claims of the opposing party. Documents and other evidence need to be submitted to all parties
before the hearing.
Total Employee Leasing helps you manage unemployment claims and assists your business in the event of a hearing. Our professionals
have the experience required to properly investigate and process all unemployment claims.
 Creating employee handbooks and client manuals provides your business with a set of documents that outline your expectations.
Most employees want to be successful and eager to know what is expected of them. Handbooks help your business establish concrete
policies that clarify your expectations with regard to work hours, dress code, and sick or vacation leaves. Once the policies are
in place, your can better manage your employees because objectives for each position have been established, benefits have been
determined, and personnel policies are in place before issues arise.
Total Employee Leasing will work with you to customize these documents for your business. Our HR department will work with you to
determine what benefits are best suited for your business, which policies need to be enforced, and document other expectations you
have for your employees.
Ensuring compliance with applicable state and federal employment rules and regulations is required by law. There are numerous
laws at the state and federal level. These laws are constantly changing and it is up to the employer to know the rules and keep
up-to-date with the changes. Here are some of the rules and regulations that you must understand:
- Wage and Hour Law
- The National Labor Relations Act
- Immigration Reform and Control Act
- Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
- The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act
- Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA)
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA)
Because we handle HR for many companies, we make it our business to be familiar with the laws that affect your business. Total
Employee Leasing makes certain that your business stays in compliance.
We assume the responsibilities of HR administration so you don't have to "empowering you to get back to
business..."
