Human Resource Outsourcing Services

Date:Tuesday, February 1 2005

When you outsource HR functions, some services go with the "all-or-nothing" approach, requiring that they handle all your HR functions or none at all. Others offer their services "a la carte," meaning you can pick and choose from the human resources outsourcing services they offer.

Typical services include:

Payroll administration: Produce checks, handle taxes, and deal with sick time and vacation time.

Employee benefits: Health, Medical, Life, 401(k) plans, cafeteria plans, etc.

HR management: Recruiting, hiring, and firing. Also background interviews, exit interviews, and wage reviews.

Risk management: Workers' compensation, dispute resolution, safety inspection, office policies and handbooks.

Some services are full-service and will provide these as well as additional services like on-call consultants, who will come in to train or even settle a dispute.

Online services tend to be limited in their offerings, but you'll get added options like Web access, which will allow you to view information (like benefits packages) and even make changes to such information online. Most will give you and your employees access to view their benefits plans, enroll in benefits, read policies, and make changes to current data.

Even PEOs that have survived off-line since the early 1980s are starting to offer online access for certain aspects of their service (like viewing benefits packages).
