What is a PEO and how can it assist a trucking company? A PEO is a professional Employer Organization that will allow a trucking company to focus on their core business - trucking ... A concept that meets the personnel management demands of the millennium and beyond!
Already accepted by - and an integral part of - thousands of companies in the United States, Canada and overseas, a PEO is an idea whose time has come. Personnel management and payroll processing, benefits procurement and administration...the total human resources responsibility can now be alleviated...physically removed from your premises and handled by an off-site team of specialists. You and your management team save:
A PEO Program can also reduce such direct costs as:
If you are like the owners/managers of many trucking businesses, you are already leasing office, production and/or warehouse space, operating and/or leasing office equipment and vehicles of various types. For many of the same reasons you initiate these leases, it is now time to consider Employee Leasing!
Ahern & Associates, Ltd. is an independent transportation consulting firm with expertise in Professional Employer Organizations. The management and staff of Ahern & Associates, Ltd. have substantial experience in a wide range of programs.
Established in 1987, Ahern has pioneered in the introduction of Professional Employer Programs (PEO) to the owners of a wide variety of transportation businesses throughout the country. We specialize in the application of PEO concepts to the trucking industry. We understand the concerns of the entrepreneurial owner/manager...analyze their operations and are able to thoughtfully recommend the program and procedures that will enhance the special owner/worker relationship necessary for continuing success.
Ahern & Associates, Ltd. represents a leading national Employer Administrator company. We have selected a PEO whose capabilities, coverage and experience are the best match for our clients and we jointly "custom build" the right program to meet each customer’s specific needs.
The PEO Administrator Company "hires" your current employees, becoming their administrative and W-2 employer. YOU REMAIN THE SUPERVISORY/MANAGER OF THEIR DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES. You do not lose control.
The PEO Leasing Administrator manages your complete payroll and tax obligation, provides a variety of cost effective Employee Benefit Plans, including Worker's Compensation, and offers an optional choice of personnel services that include:
These services are also referred to as "Employee Out-sourcing." In simplistic terms, the PEO firm essentially hires the employees of a particular business; issuing the paychecks and handling all benefit claims, taxes, and other paperwork for a set fee. The PEO firm also handles all employee-related issues including wage garnishments, EEOC, NLRB, DOL, and any other federal and state agency related issues.
A PEO Program does not disrupt your normal daily business routine. In fact, it will allow you to focus on your trucking business and grow your operations. You never need to worry about payroll preparation, tax deposits, quarterly and annual tax reporting or insurance premium payments. The time you previously spent on personnel administration, payroll and the negotiation of employee benefits, Worker's Compensation Plans, etc. can now be devoted to generating more business, improving operations, and creating new products and/or service. In essence, the PEO becomes a contributing partner to your profitability by:
As employees of a substantial, established PEO Company, you experience all the benefits of a large company without the typical work place environment of the giants. As with any services you consider, it is essential you must make sure that the PEO Company that you choose understands and complements your existing operation. Today there are literally thousands of leasing companies in the United States. Although they all provide basic services, each has its own unique and separate identity. To insure that your company is properly serviced and protected, Ahern & Associates, Ltd. provides the necessary analysis and answers to basic questions. As independent PEO consultants, we have pre-qualified and selected the leading national and regional Administrator of transportation in the United States. With Ahern's expertise you are able to insure that the PEO firm that you choose can adequately and cost-effectively provide the services to the people who work in your business.
The cost of Worker's Compensation is a major expense for many trucking companies and the system is often complicated and frustrating. Each PEO Company has its own Worker's Compensation program. The best ones provide loss prevention and risk management services, claims status reports, reserve control, direct diagnosis and scheduled doctor visits. In addition, they offer the cash flow advantage of no insurance premium deposit. Also, many PEO companies focus on only one or two industries. The basic program of any one PEO company does not necessarily fit the needs of all businesses; therefore, professional consulting guidance is essential to insure ongoing satisfaction.
The PEO Administrator handles the following responsibilities:
PAYROLL
TAXES
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
CLAIMS AND AUDITS
Handling for the following categories of concern:
