Articles 20VN | Outsourcing HR - A Simple Solution to Managing ...

Despite 15 years working in the human resource outsourcing industry, the complexity of HR administration never ceases to amaze me! No one starts a business, just so that they can grapple with the myriad laws, regulations, guidelines, recommendations and expectations governing their employees. Yet, State and federal laws direct employers on virtually every conceivable employment interaction, and the expectation exists that employers are aware, and comply, with all of them!

Just to illustrate, there are over 50 regulations governing businesses that employ even one employee!

We thought it would be a good idea to briefly list all the employment requirements of employers, based on the size of their workforce. Most of these laws are probably familiar to all of you, but certainly many are not. We highly advise you create a checklist to review the list below and contact an employment attorney if you have any questions or concerns as to your compliance.

On the other hand, you can contact a Human Resouces Outsourcing firm that will review and approve the list for you. Outsourcing your human resources function enables you to access a team of experts that are familiar with the myriad of laws, can provide hands-on advice and direction, and assume much of the liability that goes with being an employer.
