Leasing employees?

Here is my problem. I want to hire someone to clean hoods, but I don't want to deal with WC, payroll, taxes?

Any ideas? What is this leasing employees about?

I currently inspect fire systems in restaurants, and can get all the hood cleaning business I can stand but, I need someone else to do that work ( at nights ) while I work days.

Sincerely,

Hayden
 
While I have found that I need to provide more direct supervision for my employees, it is your call on how to run your business, people-wise.

It sounds as if what you are really aiming for is a subcontractor relationship with the people doing the work. I usually think of leasing employees as just that - they are still my employees. In either case, before going to far with this, contact your liab ins agent and ask them to tell you if your insurance covers you in either the "leased employee" or the "sub-contractor" situation.

Good luck.
 
I would find a good hood cleaner and work with him, then keep your day job.

Hey David,

What kind of advice is that? Do you really know anything about leasing employees? or sub-contracting?

Maybe you don't see the whole picture! I have the equipment, and some knowledge, and I wish to expand the business by putting someone to work for me, and keep my day job.

How about something constructive?

Sincerely,

Hayden
 
What would you like me to say? You ask the question on two bb and I gave two replies. In this state you can't lease people.

I paid last month $2900 in WC payments and I do have some idea on how it works. If you can't pay the comp. and you sub your work-then you limit control and quality. I know of a few exceptions that can make it work-but they started out with the owner operator company.

That's what I'm talking about!

Thanks for the info!! Something substantial! Detailed.
I really appreciate it!

Sincerely,

Hayden
 
Emplyee leasing is just a transfer of who the actual employer is. You still retain control of hiring a firing but the leasing company is now the legal employer. The benefit is that they assume all legal resposibility for the employee. They also provide support in the way of safety (videos, meeting materials, and safety inspections). They will also assist in making sure you follow all legal hiring and firing practices. Other benefits usually include a 401k program, better W/C rates, credit union, and health insurance.

Not all companies can get this though. You usually need to have a minimium of 5 employee or payroll greater than $3,000 a week.

Charges are usually based on a declining by the number of employees or a percentage of gross payroll.

Hope this answers your question about employee leasing. We have been with 3 different companies and I really like the one we are with now.

Good Luck

It depends on the State you are in-The States set the WC and the min. wage not the Fed. standard. California is well above the other state rates and min. wage and WC.

The Feds set a min. rate and the States can't go below that amount. California has a rate around $3.00 higher per hour-or around that more than the Fed. Oh are we lucky.

Lease refers to a contract by which property is rented-given or get by a lease. Blacks Law agrees with Websters.

Are you referring (leasing) to employees that are hired from a Temp. Agency?

How do you Lease employees?

Maybe the text book terminology is not correct. Appearently it does not match what is in your dictionary.

I am only describing the process which takes place. I can't help you any further than that.

They are also know as PEO, which I believe stands for Personel Employment Organizations.

Hope this helps David

My experience has been that you need to have a fair amount of control in order to keep up the quality of service. I don't think you will have that control unless you hire directly. I could be wrong, I have never leased employees.
For me anyway it takes a lot of work to make it all happen, sometimes it even requires not sleeping, my guys all take before and after pictures, and because that is not 100% full proof, I spot check once in a while just to keep then on there toes. The turnover rate is high meaning tons of time spent training and retraining, uncooperative night managers that require my personal involvement at any hour of the night, just to get my guys in the door. This list can go on and on.
My point is unless you can find someone you trust to handle it you may be in for more than you bargained for. It is also possible that my experiences are irrelevant for you area.
