Employers can have their unemployment rates rise in direct proportion to unemployment claims of terminated employees.  In other words if your business has a high amount of employee turnover, typically you can expect to pay a higher unemployment tax rate.  Unemployment tax rates will also fluctuate based on company payroll and unemployment benefits charged against your company.   2012-01-25T20:24:33+00:00 http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/unemployment-claims-can-be-costly-peo-blog#When:20:24:33Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PeoBlog/~3/mDAg177HLO8/the-perfect-peo-prescription-peo-blog http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/the-perfect-peo-prescription-peo-blog#When:14:53:26Z Are you a small to medium-size Business owner who’s been looking for a quality PEO in your area?  Have you looked for a PEO on PEO.com and haven’t been able to find one that can service your industry or your area?  Maybe you should consider the PEO prescription from our friends at employers RX.

Seriously, does anyone really “LIKE” to fire people?  I mean, nobody could really “LIKE” to fire people could they… well I’m sure there are a few individuals that truly do like to fire people, but my belief is that the majority of us would just prefer, and wish people provide the level of service that we expect, that way we’re happy and the individual can stay employed a while longer. 2012-01-11T18:56:41+00:00 http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/i-like-being-able-to-fire-people-peo-blog#When:18:56:41Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PeoBlog/~3/ijfhMn5vBJU/kicking-off-2012-peo.com-peo-blog http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/kicking-off-2012-peo.com-peo-blog#When:17:21:00Z I’m back… and I’m excited about 2012. So I took a short sabbatical over the holidays, I hope everyone had a fabulous Holiday Season, I certainly did…  but I’m back and I’m more committed than I’ve ever been to building recognition of the PEO – Professional Employer Organization Industry. The conversations I’ve had with others in the industry would indicate that we are positioned for a banner year.  Here’s my message, if you are a small to medium business, you need to be using the services of a quality PEO, HRO, or ASO.  If you are a business owner, for you to be spending you time dealing with employment rather than focusing on your business, its time to make a change and find yourself a PEO, focus on your business, and have a outstanding 2012. As always, if you are in the PEO Industry, and have a positive message, article, story, email me at blog@peo.com and we’ll share it with the world. 2012-01-10T17:21:00+00:00 http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/kicking-off-2012-peo.com-peo-blog#When:17:21:00Z http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/PeoBlog/~3/CYlzBHlcnMA/dem-group-joins-the-peo.com-family-of-listing-peos-peo-blog http://www.peo.com/blog/entry/dem-group-joins-the-peo.com-family-of-listing-peos-peo-blog#When:21:11:48Z PEO.com is pleased to welcome the DEM Group, the DEM group is a leading provider of Employee Administration Management solutions.
