Insurance & Payroll Outsourcing

Just got my renewal bill :ohmy: and seriously considering other options. Does anyone have names of companies or links that I can look into? Any feedback from someone that has gone this route would be great.>>>

To my suprise; the Fed left me a couple of phone #s the next day. One # Im pretty sure was an 800# automated to check on payments made and liabilities. The other was of his boss and also left his cell#. Good man he is. Ill be making some of them calls first thing Monday. Springs here and were ready to roll and try to play catch up from last years dud----------------------H>>>

Hatchetman- What is the comp rate they are offering? I think the state pool rate is $38 or more. We are around $23. I personally don't think I would go this route but I can see the appeal.>>>

Thats exactly what Im trying to avoid. Several years ago I used an employee leasing company and they too did not pay the withholdings for my men. After they went out of biz; bout 2 years later the goverment sent me the bill for non-payment. They put a lien on my home and took the money owed them when I sold the house. Yesterday I had the Illinois Employment Security in my office for a random audit; when I told him what my plans for the upcoming year was, he warned me of scams just like that. He said by the time these things come to light; these people are long gone; bankrupt and doing it again somewhere else. He said he would look into AIU to see whether they are legit or not and if there was a way to check to make sure they were paying on my behalf. Being that he works for the Feds; Im kinda expecting no follow up to inform as to what he found.

Do these companys give you a certificate of insurance that states roofing of some other catagory. They offer a very atractive work comp rate. Im just a little gun shy and dont want to get burned again.-------------------------------H>>>

Despite the horror stories that some people are posting, I've had no problems with them for the past three years. While I'm certain I'm not the largest employer posting here, I'm probably among the top. My office staff, attorney and accountant are not outsourced. All of my hourly employees are leased as well as the employees paid piece rate.

If the idea is to suspect everyone of fraud and/or tax evasion unless proven otherwise, our industry would come to a screeching holt. I spoke with other companies that used All Industries Underwriters before I started using them and I've been satisfied. Now, is it possible that I've been sucked into some complicated scheme that involves tax evasion and insurance fraud? I suppose it's possible, but I've got no reasons to suspect it. My certificates of insurance have passed inspection by the state of Florida, as well as many building departments and many more general contractors. >>>

Yes the leasing company or professional employer as they are known here, would be responsible for paying all tax liabilities. BUT, that does not mean they do it. We found out that the professional employer that we were using had not paid any of our taxes in 3 years! That means that we have to prove that we paid the taxes for credit on our Social Security. Even though we received W-2's that showed the deductions, it was not discovered until one of our employees got his Social Security notice in the mail when he turned 40 and there were 2 years of missing money.

When I started with this company, I audited 5 years of the payroll records and found many discrepancies in what they were charging for workers comp. They had salesmen charged off as roofers, office staff charged off as carpenters, it was awful. We took them to court and recovered only a small percentage.

Be careful with what company you choose.>>>
