History and Philosophy of Employer Solutions

            Employer Solutions started in 1998, in Bradenton, Florida. Glenn Glasser, the founder and president of Employer Solutions, has been involved in the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry (formerly known as Employee Leasing), since 1995.  Mr. Glasser began his employment with the first licensed (PEO) in the nation, Employee Services.  He also helped several ground floor start-up PEOs pave their way in the PEO industry with the assistance of his successful sales and marketing experience.  It has been his belief that there was a need for an employee leasing company that puts its focus on meeting the needs of its clients and leased employees first.   This is a diverse group, comprised of companies ranging from the small business to the larger corporations. 

            Unfortunately, most PEOs want only the medium size or larger businesses.  However, the biggest sector of businesses employ 10 or fewer people, which make up most of the small to medium size companies.  These smaller companies have been falling through the cracks of the PEO industry for several years because most PEOs only want to fatten their bottom line for shareholders and publicly traded PEOs. 

            PEOs were founded in the 1980's for the purpose of helping businesses cope with Workers’ Compensation, Payroll, Tax Filings, Governmental Compliance, Human Resources, and much more.  They grew like wildfire and many benefited, including the PEOs themselves.  There were numerous mistakes and inequalities as with any new industry until legislation was enacted in 1988.  Lawmakers were behind the curve and they took time to catch up with regulating a new industry that they knew little about.  Lawyers had a field day that put a lot of PEOs out of business.  The ripple effect was felt by small businesses as well and created mistrust among the working public and the large insurance companies who must ultimately assume these gigantic risks. 

            Modern PEOs have since been the workhorse in putting insurance companies and the PEOs together in a solid working relationship.  With new legislation and a new awareness of the lawmakers, the industry is on solid footing and growing at an astounding rate of approximately 30% per year.  Consumer confidence is now catching up, and only the well informed will survive. 

            Amidst all of this, Employer Solutions was founded as a PEO business consultant brokering service for a select number of national PEOs so that we may serve a mountain of businesses (because some PEOs don't want to write very small, high risk companies). We also serve larger companies who need more than just Workers’ Compensation and Payroll Services.  This enables Employer Solutions to give our perspective clients a unique opportunity and a relationship not available from most PEO agents.  Our purpose in this business is to work for you, the business owner, so that you have more time to focus on generating revenue and enjoying life.

Advantages Of Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

            As an Employer it can be very complex determining the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing to a Payroll Service Provider (aka Administrative Services Organizations, or ASO) or Employee Leasing Company.  When outsourcing the payroll to an ASO or taking the payroll in-house all of these duties and liabilities are completely your burden and the ASO assumes none, because all the filing of payroll taxes are used with your federal ID tax number and your State Unemployment ID number.  It’s your responsibility to keep up to date with the ever-changing labor laws, Workers’ Compensation Audits & Liability, Claims Management, Payroll Tax Liability, INS Form I-9’s and Human Resource. All of the aforementioned items are here to stay and will only increase.

            Having been in the Employee Leasing industry since 1995, we have extensive experience with the pros and cons and have gotten to know the players in the (ASO) and Employee Leasing arena very well. No doubt when comparing the administrative cost of ASO vs. Employee Leasing, the Employee Leasing administrative cost will be a little more. This is because the Employee Leasing Company assumes most of the risk and liability, whereas the ASO does NOT assume any as listed above.

            These are some of the reduced tax liabilities and benefits you have under the Employee Leasing arrangement and the Workers' Comp master policy that you do NOT get with a Payroll-Only Service, or ASO.
