An often overlooked but extremely important area in any business is the
Human Resource department. Since few small businesses have the resources
available to hire an in-house HR staff, it is a challenge to keep up with
the ever-changing employment laws. With the number of employment lawsuits
growing, small businesses are at risk of being sued by their employees,
current and former. By being with a PEO a business has an off-site HR
department to offer assistance in employee issues. Areas in HR in which
the PEO can help are:
- Sexual harassment
- FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act)
- Drug testing
- Employee handbooks
- Job descriptions
- Employee reviews
- Employee counseling
