Human Resources Administration

Wednesday, May 12, 2010 by Human Resources

Although the economy may be showing signs of improvement, employers remain focused on increasing efficiency and holding down costs.  This may include downsizing, eliminating pay raises, and even cutting pay for employees.  While these actions can be justified, employers must be careful.  Top performing employees still need to be rewarded for their efforts and companies must make sure their compensation is in line with what is being offered in their market.  Otherwise, employees might leave and companies can end up spending even more time and money to replace them.   


Management 2000, a PEO in Indianapolis, Indiana and Dayton, Ohio helps employers develop an HR strategy to recruit and retain quality employees.  From human resource policies, to employee benefits, to payroll services, Management 2000 provides the HR support employers need to be successful. 

 

HR Support - Payroll

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 by Human Resources

Payroll errors can be costly. Last month, a petroleum company in New Jersey entered into a settlement agreement under which it will pay $4 million in overtime pay, damages, interest, and penalties to more than 700 current and former employees. According to the Department of Labor, the company and its owner failed to pay employees time and one-half the regular hourly rate for time worked in excess of 40 hours a week and failed to keep accurate time and payroll records for approximately seven years. 

 

Employers cannot afford to have ineffective payroll policies. Management 2000, an Indiana PEO, provides payroll services for small businesses as well as HR and employee benefits administration. With help from Management 2000, employers can rest assured that payroll and other human resource issues are properly managed.

Employees: Love their worth, Hate the administration

Friday, August 7, 2009 by Stephen Day

dWhen you got into your business, it was fun.  It was probably just you and maybe a partner...you didn't worry  about employees.  Then you figured out you had to have employees to grow.  That was exciting as well until you found all the government regulatoins that surround and protect employees.  Next you found out that in order to get good, competent employees, you had too offer competitve benefit programs.  How is a small guy supposed to compete?  Enter the PEO.  A PEO takes on and shares the responsibilities of maintaining a staff of employees for the small employer.  By utilizing PEO services, the employer can eliminate the headaches of Employee Benefit Administration, Human Resources Adminstration, Payroll Tax Administration and more.  You can then get back to the feeling you had running your business in the good 'ole days

Small Business Headaches

Thursday, April 16, 2009 by
We just brought on a new client that was just sick and tired of being nickled and dimed to death. He was getting extremely frustrated with hidden fees and extra fees. Management 2000 was able to show him one clean invoice with no hidden or extra fees that includes all of his payroll services, employee benefits administration, HR administration and accounting services. Needless to say, he could not wait to cancel his existing services and sign up with Management 2000. He can now confidently budget for these services and also has added "peace of mind". 

The desire to be compliant

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 by Stephen Day

Starting a new business can be daunting.  Add to this the challenge that you were not born in this country and had only a short time to pick up on all its laws and regulations.   Management 2000 payroll and PEO service can help with this problem.
    It is evident that most people who immigrate to another country are the overachievers of their culture.  The lazy ones never get the gumption to risk moving to a country with no knowledge of the language, the culture or the laws of the land.  No matter how bad things are at home, the non-achievers stay behind.  
    As a result, many of these overachievers open their own businesses to earn a living in their new country.  Unfortunately, many businesses fail or create undue hardship due to misunderstanding of the many laws modern enterprises must follow.  One way many immigrant businesses can reduce the risk of failure is through the utilization of a reputable PEO like Management 2000.  Recently, a Hispanic automotive service center opened in our city.  They initially hired a national payroll service, but was soon confused and dismayed of the many charges or fees as well as uncertainty in their law compliance.  PEO Management 2000 stepped in to lead their new business in proper compliance of all the HR, Payroll, Tax, OSHA, Workers Comp, Unemployment and other laws.  Now, as their business grows, we will add employee benefits management,  small business accounting, retirement plans and more.  The three week old business has a much better chance at making all their hard work pay off in the long run.


Outsourcing Payroll Services

Thursday, April 9, 2009 by Payroll Manager

Management 2000 has been fortunate to have brought on a number of new clients. They choose to outsource payroll services for various reasons, but I wanted to see what their 'Payroll' reasons were for coming on board with us. I thought it would be helpful to share this with everyone...

Tired of training employees for payroll duties.

Tired of having employees involved with payroll VS having them involved with other tasks.

Tired of spending $$$ on computers and software.

Tired of keeping up with payroll tax laws.

We've freed them from the payroll process and responsibilities by calling Management 2000, Indiana payroll services just a click away http://www.management2000.com

Letting them do what they do best!!! Running their business.


It's time to start using the new I-9...maybe.

Tuesday, March 31, 2009 by Management 2000
You may remember that back on February 2, 2009 the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) asked that we start using a revised I-9 form.  On the day that is was supposed to be effective, USCIS told us not to start using that form for a 60 day period.  The Obama administration wanted to review the form before it went into effect.  Well, those 60 days are up and starting April 3, 2009 you should start using the new form (that is unless we get another last minute notification saying to hold off). 

Probably the biggest change is in the type of documentation that will now be acceptable.  No longer will new hires be able to use expired identification documents to verify their work eligibility.

 At Management 2000 our Payroll Services and Human Resources Department verify that acceptable identification is used and take the necessary steps to ensure compliance if proper identification is not used.  We take care of this administrative function for our clients because we know you have a business to run

What does Employee Free Choice Act mean to Employers

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 by Management 2000

Hello, my name is Joe Kremer. I am the HR Director for Management 2000, a Professional Employer Organization that caters to the HR needs of small to medium size businesses. I have been in the HR field for 28 years and have worked in retail, manufacturing and the service industry in both union and non-union environments. I obtained my MBA in 1998 and my SPHR in 2003. I hope to share with you some of my experiences in the field of HR as well as provide information on current events that will shape how HR will function in the future. I thought I'd start out talking about a current legislation proposal before Congress that has the potential of having a huge impact on businesses in the coming years.
 
The Employee Fee Choice Act will amend the National Labor Relations Act to change the procedure under which employees choose to join or not join a union. Below are the key points of the Act.

  • Requires the NLRB to certify a union if 50%+1 sign cards in support of a union.  This allows unions to bypass the election process.
  • Once the union is certified, the employer and union would be required to enter into collective bargaining for a 120 day period.
  • If the employer and union bargain to an impasse, then an arbitrator will provide a binding contract for a 2 year period

At Management 2000 we provide HR support to our clients to put in place Best Practices to avoid union activity. We conduct Management training session and help develop Human Resource policies that create a favorable environment for employees while maintaining cost for employers. Management 2000 is here to meet all your HR, Payroll and Benefit needs because you have a business to run
