The Golden Triangle of Hiring

Filed under: , , , , by: HR Management

Below you can find the details about Golden Triangle…

· Results

You first make a list of every result that you want the new person to produce. Always focus on results rather than activities. Take 100 points and allocate them over your list of desired results, divided on the basis of value. This allocation will help you decide the most important results required. By the 80/20 rule, if you have a list of ten desired results for a job, two of those tasks will be worth 80 points and other eights tasks will be worth only 20 points.

· Skills

Once you have determined exactly what you want the person to do and the results he or she is expected to produce, the second consideration in hiring is skills. You look for someone with a proven track record in that area. You are seeking a candidate who has already successfully demonstrated the skills necessary to achieve the results you are hiring him or her to achieve for your company. You always hire people based on their past performance and proven results, rather than your future hopes and ambitions or theirs. Many business owners make the mistake of hiring a completely inexperienced person for an important job. They hire based on what the person thinks that he or she can do in the future, rather than what he or she has already done in the past. Occasionally this approach will be successful, but in most cases it will either fail or be a great disappointment.

· Personality

The third element to look for is personality. In studies of many thousands of job failures, it has been found that the cause of most of them was “wrong fit.” This means that the person does not have the correct personality to fit in with you and with the other people who work on your team. One of the basic rules of human nature is that people don’t change. Over time they become even more of what they already are. They don’t change their basic personalities, temperaments, or work habits. You should never hire a person with a personality problem with the hope or fantasy that the person is going to change once her or she starts working in your company. It simply won’t happen. I had a woman working for me some time ago who did her job extremely well. She was in charge of mailing, shipping, and delivery and was quite competent. She had only one problem. She was short-tempered and irritable and she used foul language and would snap at other members of the staff for the slightest reason. My role and goal in my business is to achieve and maintain harmony among my people. You can ensure a high level of fit with a new hire by having the person meet with at least three other people before you make a decision.

Action Exercise

If you are interested in a potential candidate to hire for your company pick out three other qualified people to interview that person as well, just to make sure that they act the same way around others as they do around you.

2 HR Issues You Can’t Ignore

Filed under: , , , , , by: HR Management

Employee versus Independent Contractor
Yes, you have certainly heard about this one before, but did you know that the Obama administration plans to hire 100 more enforcement personnel to focus on this issue and that the IRS is planning to audit approximately 6,000 companies to examine compliance with the law?

Medicare Tax 1.45%
When a worker is properly classified as an employee, the employer must pay social security tax of 6.20% and Medicare tax of 1.45% of gross wages. The employer is generally obligated to also pay workers’ compensation insurance and federal and state unemployment tax (generally 3.5% for a new employer in Florida). Assuming that the workers’ comp premiums are 3% of gross wages, the total burden rate is 14.15% of gross wages, before applying the cost of employee benefits. It’s no wonder that so many employers are attempting to classify workers as independent contractors, especially in our current economic environment. However, the consequences of improper classification can be significant and potentially retroactive for the employer.

The initial determination of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor comes down to whether the company directs and controls the worker. If the answer is yes, then most likely that worker is an employee. The IRS developed a 20 factor “test,” to assist companies in determining the proper classification of a worker, which includes such topics as the level of instruction and training provided by the company, the flexibility or lack of flexibility of the worker’s schedule, and a company’s demand for full-time work. The IRS also allows a company or a worker to file Form SS-8 for an IRS determination of worker classification. The IRS believes that workers often file an SS-8 to challenge their own treatment as an independent contractor by a company. This action has costly ramifications.

Social Security Tax 6.20%
If a regulatory agency reclassifies an independent contractor as an employee, a number of issues and questions are presented. At a minimum, the IRS will charge an employer for back taxes, including the associated interest and penalties. The interest and penalties can be significant, especially since the taxes should have been paid on a quarterly basis in a prior year or years. If the reclassification determination is retroactive to a prior year, the question comes up regarding whether the employee should have been covered by the company health and retirement plans. What if the employee experienced a significant illness while previously classified as an independent contractor and was therefore not covered by the company’s health insurance plan? Can that employee now file a claim for reimbursement? What about the employer’s matching contributions in the company’s 401(k) plan that the employee would have been entitled to receive in prior years?

Unemployment Claim Administration

Many employers were shocked when they opened their 2010 unemployment rate notice in December and found out that their company was maximum-rated at 5.40%. Even though recent legislation in Tallahassee has temporarily reduced some employers’ rates, most employers still experienced a noticeable increase over 2009 rates after the revised rate notices were prepared by the state. Proper unemployment claims administration can achieve significant cost savings and should focus on the following three areas:

1) The actual claim that may result when an employee is terminated, 2) the information on the quarterly benefit statements and 3) the information on the annual rate notice.

The unemployment system was established to provide a cushion to those employees who are laid off through no fault of their own. Claims resulting from a lay-off or business closing generally cannot be challenged; however, claims resulting from termination for cause generally may be challenged by an employer, especially if the employer maintains good documentation and has a witness available to testify at a hearing. For instance, if an employee has violated company policy and such violation was witnessed by another employee, the employer should consider challenging any claim made by the terminated employee for unemployment benefits. The employer may also want to challenge similar claims even if a witness is not available if strong documentation is available. Most of the initial hearings are now handled by phone, so the employer’s representatives generally don’t even need to leave their office to participate in the hearing. Each claim approved by the state increases the employer’s unemployment tax rate since the system is experience rated. For instance 40 Employee Company with a 5. 40% unemployment tax rate will pay additional taxes of $12,320 versus that same company with a 1% rate. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the employer to review each claim.

One of the easiest ways to potentially lower an employer’s rate is to review the quarterly benefit notices to determine if each claim charged to an employer’s account was actually from a former employee of that employer. Erroneous claims from employees of other employers can mistakenly be charged to your account and increase your tax rate. Performing this review each quarter is a best practice for any employer.

The third step all employers should take is to simply check the annual rate notice which typically arrives in December of each year and includes the tax rate which will become effective on January 1 of the next year. Another best practice is to confirm all the data contained in the notice and to recalculate the tax rate shown. If errors were noted on the quarterly benefit statements pursuant to step 2 above, were those errors corrected before the annual rate notice was prepared?
If an error is noted on the annual rate notice, an employer typically has about 10 calendar days to notify the state of such error, so this review should begin as soon as the notice is received.

How does an employer prevent or mitigate these HR threats/challenges? Consider using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). PEOs provide comprehensive HR outsourcing including payroll, human resources, benefits administration and risk management. The PEO you choose should be active in its industry association, the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (www.napeo.org), and accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) (www.esacorp.org). ESAC provides independent financial and compliance assurances for covered clients and employees through surety bonds in the unlikely event of a failure of an accredited PEO, a similar concept as the FDIC for banks. The PEO you choose should have staff that is accredited by the American Payroll Association (APA) as well as Professionals in Human Resources (PHR) accredited by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Alternatively, both the APA and SHRM offer payroll and human resource training classes. Another option is to establish a relationship with an HR consulting firm. Consulting engagements are flexible and can be tailored to your specific needs.

These few suggestions should help to keep your HR department, no matter how large or small, on the path to compliance.

HRI is one of only 30 PEOs in the nation and the only PEO in central Florida accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation.

Precise Payroll Service in Florida

Filed under: by: HR Management

It may seem to the untrained that the subject of payroll is a banal thing, something that would only concern you during pay days. On the contrary it is a word that causes some trouble to the manager and business owner. With employment regulations and legislations, management of payroll has become a challenge. Managers are just obliged to prepare it accurately because errors can cause serious problems. It should be done properly because there are a number of essential functions in the company that rely on it.

The process involves gathering of the personal data of the employee. Preparation of a list of employees and company staff is quite tough and the larger the company, the more difficult this task becomes. The next important thing is the salary status of each employee. In considerably big companies, there are different salary levels starting from regular employees to those paid on hourly basis. Every worker should be found on the payroll no matter how short their working time is. Accurate salary amounts of all the employees should be reflected on the sheets, otherwise serious problems would arise. The amount of salary of employees also determines their tax obligations.

Federal and local tax obligations for each pay date should be remitted to the right agencies and this is a responsibility of all businesses. On the other hand, employers have the duty to pass tax forms on regular basis, whether yearly or quarterly. Failure to file withholding taxes at the right time can cause so much trouble. Companies have faced litigation due to non-payment of taxes.

It is important to have correct information about all the employees, no matter what kind of work they do and how much time they spend working. Data about their tax obligations and benefits are also included. Such data should have been properly computed and accurately displayed.

Preparing such accounting data and records is a tough task even for small business owners. Many companies hire accounting and bookkeeping services to keep up with the need for such process. Most business owners or managers cannot deal with such task by themselves with the time they have, which they usually spend to supervise business and operations. There is also accounting software available but these are given to inaccuracies, considering the data are merely electronically processed, without the guide of a true accounting professional. And if you are a manager or employer, your employees cannot sue the software for wrong salary.

Accountants actually do a crucial job here because they do the classifying, summarizing, and recording of information which is financial in character; and that includes the layout of salary, tax, and benefits data on sheets. Individual pay slip is provided for each employee, and what is on this little piece of paper comes from the payroll data. A copy of this entire sheet is generally provided by the company to the government by virtue of obligation. Otherwise, the company can face serious inquiry from the internal revenue. A business owner cannot reason that they have no bookkeeper to deal with this work because it's a task they must accomplish with or without help.

Fortunately, payroll services are tasks offered by many firms which can provide the right professionals to serve your company efficiently. The good thing about managing the list of employees and data about their salary and taxes is that this whole thing can be done even outside office premises. Remote accountants and offshore bookkeepers can work with the data by receiving raw data and sending processed data online. This arrangement is sometimes more convenient for many managers, who don't need to put up offices for new employees. However, the companies can always hire in-person accountants. The two different schemes have their own advantages and disadvantages but the most important thing at the end of the day is the accuracy of the data on the sheets.

Why Choose a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?

Filed under: , , , , , by: HR Management

Outsourcing is a significant factor of present business. With the need to cut costs now more applicable than ever before, and the non-core technical tasks that a company needs to perform attractive more and more extensive, companies can only make sure greater concentration of their property on their core tasks by outsourcing these secondary responsibilities to dedicated concerns. Accounting is one of the most central tasks connected with human resource management. It includes calculating interest rates, tax supplies, insurance rates for workers' compensation, and related jobs. A PEO offers comprehensive HR outsourcing solutions and manages the workforce and all the responsibilities connected with it in a reasonable manner.

Here are 10 reasons why businesses turn to payroll-services providers.

  • Cost – If your business has fewer than 20 employees, there’s a good chance you can save money by outsourcing your payroll operations. Think about it: figure out how many hours your employees are dedicating to payroll-related activities, plus however much your business is spending on printing and distributing checks, creating tax documents, etc., and compare that with the cost it would be to have a payroll-service provider do all that for you. You’ll be surprised.

  • Productivity – Managing a payroll is something that takes time, lots of time. Without having to spend that time worrying about payroll, your employees will be able to be more productive in what they do.

  • Accuracy – Payroll mistakes can be very agitating, not only to your employees but also to the government. A payroll-service provider is less likely to make mistakes, and if they do, they can be held accountable and you can get your money back. That’s something you can’t do with your employees' mistakes.

2 HR Issues You Can’t Ignore

Filed under: , , , , , , by: HR Management

Employee versus Independent Contractor

Yes, you have certainly heard about this one before, but did you know that the Obama administration plans to hire 100 more enforcement personnel to focus on this issue and that the IRS is planning to audit approximately 6,000 companies to examine compliance with the law?

Medicare Tax 1.45%

When a worker is properly classified as an employee, the employer must pay social security tax of 6.20% and Medicare tax of 1.45% of gross wages. The employer is generally obligated to also pay workers’ compensation insurance and federal and state unemployment tax (generally 3.5% for a new employer in Florida). Assuming that the workers’ comp premiums are 3% of gross wages, the total burden rate is 14.15% of gross wages, before applying the cost of employee benefits. It’s no wonder that so many employers are attempting to classify workers as independent contractors, especially in our current economic environment. However, the consequences of improper classification can be significant and potentially retroactive for the employer.

The initial determination of whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor comes down to whether the company directs and controls the worker. If the answer is yes, then most likely that worker is an employee. The IRS developed a 20 factor “test,” to assist companies in determining the proper classification of a worker, which includes such topics as the level of instruction and training provided by the company, the flexibility or lack of flexibility of the worker’s schedule, and a company’s demand for full-time work. The IRS also allows a company or a worker to file Form SS-8 for an IRS determination of worker classification. The IRS believes that workers often file an SS-8 to challenge their own treatment as an independent contractor by a company. This action has costly ramifications.

Social Security Tax 6.20%

If a regulatory agency reclassifies an independent contractor as an employee, a number of issues and questions are presented. At a minimum, the IRS will charge an employer for back taxes, including the associated interest and penalties. The interest and penalties can be significant, especially since the taxes should have been paid on a quarterly basis in a prior year or years. If the reclassification determination is retroactive to a prior year, the question comes up regarding whether the employee should have been covered by the company health and retirement plans. What if the employee experienced a significant illness while previously classified as an independent contractor and was therefore not covered by the company’s health insurance plan? Can that employee now file a claim for reimbursement? What about the employer’s matching contributions in the company’s 401(k) plan that the employee would have been entitled to receive in prior years?

Unemployment Claim Administration

Many employers were shocked when they opened their 2010 unemployment rate notice in December and found out that their company was maximum-rated at 5.40%. Even though recent legislation in Tallahassee has temporarily reduced some employers’ rates, most employers still experienced a noticeable increase over 2009 rates after the revised rate notices were prepared by the state. Proper unemployment claims administration can achieve significant cost savings and should focus on the following three areas:

1) The actual claim that may result when an employee is terminated, 2) the information on the quarterly benefit statements and 3) the information on the annual rate notice.

The unemployment system was established to provide a cushion to those employees who are laid off through no fault of their own. Claims resulting from a lay-off or business closing generally cannot be challenged; however, claims resulting from termination for cause generally may be challenged by an employer, especially if the employer maintains good documentation and has a witness available to testify at a hearing. For instance, if an employee has violated company policy and such violation was witnessed by another employee, the employer should consider challenging any claim made by the terminated employee for unemployment benefits. The employer may also want to challenge similar claims even if a witness is not available if strong documentation is available. Most of the initial hearings are now handled by phone, so the employer’s representatives generally don’t even need to leave their office to participate in the hearing. Each claim approved by the state increases the employer’s unemployment tax rate since the system is experience rated. For instance, a 40 employee company with a 5. 40% unemployment tax rate will pay additional taxes of $12,320 versus that same company with a 1% rate. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the employer to review each claim.

One of the easiest ways to potentially lower an employer’s rate is to review the quarterly benefit notices to determine if each claim charged to an employer’s account was actually from a former employee of that employer. Erroneous claims from employees of other employers can mistakenly be charged to your account and increase your tax rate. Performing this review each quarter is a best practice for any employer.

The third step all employers should take is to simply check the annual rate notice which typically arrives in December of each year and includes the tax rate which will become effective on January 1 of the next year. Another best practice is to confirm all the data contained in the notice and to recalculate the tax rate shown. If errors were noted on the quarterly benefit statements pursuant to step 2 above, were those errors corrected before the annual rate notice was prepared?

If an error is noted on the annual rate notice, an employer typically has about 10 calendar days to notify the state of such error, so this review should begin as soon as the notice is received.

How does an employer prevent or mitigate these HR threats/challenges? Consider using a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). PEOs provide comprehensive HR outsourcing including payroll, human resources, benefits administration and risk management. The PEO you choose should be active in its industry association, the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (www.napeo.org), and accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) (www.esacorp.org). ESAC provides independent financial and compliance assurances for covered clients and employees through surety bonds in the unlikely event of a failure of an accredited PEO, a similar concept as the FDIC for banks. The PEO you choose should have staff that is accredited by the American Payroll Association (APA) as well as Professionals in Human Resources (PHR) accredited by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Alternatively, both the APA and SHRM offer payroll and human resource training classes. Another option is to establish a relationship with an HR consulting firm. Consulting engagements are flexible and can be tailored to your specific needs.

These few suggestions should help to keep your HR department, no matter how large or small, on the path to compliance.
