Thanks Theresa Oschmann for chatting with me about Employ-Ease! I'm always happy to share some know-how and give support to small business owners who may feel overwhelmed with everything that comes with having employees.

In this episode of Hanging Out For a Living, we break down what a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) really does and why more small employers are turni...

14 panels, 237 screws, a tiny wrench, and instructions that make no sense. 😕
One wrong step means undoing everything and starting over.

Payroll can feel exactly the same way. Tons of rules, endless websites, confusing instructions… one mistake and you’ve got unhappy employees or compliance headaches.

🛜 There is a website for every issue that employers need to comply with but like the cabinet, just because there are instructions doesn’t mean everyone can follow them.

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is like your instruction-savvy friend. They handle payroll, benefits, and compliance, so all the pieces fit together, without the stress.

P.S. If you were expecting me to make an Ikea joke, sorry you’ll have to make it yourself! (get it?) 😉

Have you ever picked out a new pair of shoes because you liked the look and thought they'd pull your whole wardrobe together? 👠 I know I have.

I got them home, tried them on, and they were snug. The heel rubbed just a little too much, the toe was longer than I am used to, and after wearing them for a while, I got a blister.

I started wondering if my choice was a good idea after all.

Bringing on a new employee can sometimes feel the same way. You’re hopeful and excited, thinking they’ll fit perfectly into your small business. But as you start to get them on board, you quickly find out there are more details than you first expected. 😟

Here are a few things employers should tackle right away:

📄 File the new hire report with New York State as soon as possible. 𝐼𝑡’𝑠 𝑡𝑜𝑜 𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡.

⚕️ Make sure your new team member knows which employee benefits plans are available. 𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑓𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑓𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑜𝑛𝑒.

👷 Check in with your payroll provider to update or set up a new workers’ comp policy and classify your new employee. 𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑘𝑒𝑒𝑝𝑠 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑓𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑡.

😊 Confirm that disability and paid family medical leave coverage is set up. 𝐼𝑡’𝑠 𝑎 𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑝 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠.

A payroll service or a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) can make these human resource management steps a lot easier.

At first, everything feels like a lot to handle, but having a reliable payroll company behind you takes a big load off. They get the paperwork and deadlines handled, so you can actually enjoy bringing someone new onto your team. 🎉

As a homeowner, I get excited about the big changes everyone can see… like putting in a new patio. But there are behind-the-scenes projects too, like replacing a worn-out furnace. Nobody talks about it, but if it fails, everyone notices!

Running a company is similar.

Things like product launches, new vehicle wraps and pop-up events get all the attention, but 𝒑𝒂𝒚𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒔, 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒆𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑠 𝑣𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙.

You might not want to shout about your payroll company, but when it’s missing or not working, problems are quick to appear.

If you want more time on the “want to do” things, make sure you’ve got the right payroll provider by your side for the “have to do’s”.

But your team relies on getting paid, no matter what. 💸

That’s why having a reliable payroll provider is so important. Your payroll, tax payments, and employee benefit plans are all handled, so your staff is always taken care of.

Using a payroll service like Employ-Ease who plans ahead, allows you to relax and enjoy the holiday.
