HR Concerns for Law Firms – Employer Solutions Plus

More than ever before, law firms are relying on Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) and HR outsourcing companies to cut costs and improve efficiencies. Human resources, benefits, and employee management are all areas of business that law firms have traditionally kept within their control, but with a growing list of responsibilities, especially surrounding compliance, managing HR has become a full time (and demanding) job.

Here are some top HR concerns for law firms:

Benefits: How do I put together a benefits package that is competitive and in line with what neighboring law firms of similar size are offering? How do I control the costs?
Recruitment and Retention: How do I attract and retain top-performing employees?
Insurance: Do I need an EPLI policy? How do we protect our firm in the event that a claim or lawsuit is brought against our business, partners, employees or managers?
Compliance: How do I stay current on government compliance requirements? Is our firm in compliance with federal employment laws? What about state employment laws?
Payroll: How do I find time for check printing, direct deposit, vacation and sick leave accruals, 401k plans, reporting, integration and more?!

How Employer Solutions Plus can help:

Employer Solutions Plus understands the most critical HR services law firms are in need of to operate more effectively and efficiently. We enable our clients to make informed decisions regarding PEO strategies, but also understand that for smaller law firms, or firms with in-house capabilities, a PEO is not always the best solution.

Sometimes only one or two components of HR need to be outsourced. Following a consultation and analysis of your firm, we may explore payroll-only solutions, health insurance options, or risk management solutions.
