HR Options, Inc.

contingent employment

Your corps of retirees, former employees, consultants and independent contractors (1099 workers) represents a valuable source of highly skilled and specialized talent. It is undeniable that the proper use of this sector of the contingent workforce can bring cost efficiencies to companies and benefits to workers. The use of a flexible contingent workforce is now an integral part of HR strategy and critical to companies and their success. However, you also realize that there are exceptionally high risks associated with the proper integration of these workers into the fabric of your workforce. You need to protect both the rights and responsibilities of your company and the worker, alike.

HR Options (HRO) provides our clients with comprehensive, cost-effective compliance and third-party employment services designed to evaluate and protect the company and the worker, as well as mitigate any HR concerns. HRO has the knowledge, experience and processes to effectively eliminate issues, concerns, liabilities and questions regarding the proper use, reinstatement or introduction of these workers into your company. Our protocols, methodologies and service commitment are proven and time tested. Contingent employment services encompass the following:

Referral Employees

Retired Employees

Former Employees

Consultants

Independent Contractors

As companies look to bottom-line contribution and the flexibility that a contingent workforce offers, the use of Independent Contractors (ICs) has become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, the evaluative process distinguishing a legitimate IC from a misclassified employee is not simple and clear. Not only do various states and the federal government not see eye to eye on the rules and their interpretation, but several interested agencies within the same state and various federal agencies may not agree.

For over 20 years, HR Options (HRO) has successfully implemented custom IC solutions for corporations. HRO evaluates your potential risk and develops custom solutions for your company's needs. We can show you how to make safe and practical use of IC's with strategies that work. HRO provides services that will:

Assess and verify each IC relationship
Comply with established guidelines
Create compliance files
Present findings for determination
Clarify relationship with all
Create clear precise IC contracts
Document the process
Establish IC vendor relationships
Audit and review over time

When the risk is too great, HRO offers a flexible employer-employee relationship designed to accomplish the work at hand while protecting the company and worker from potential liability. Many of our clients prefer to eliminate the IC problem altogether by using HRO as a third-party employer. In all facets, HRO acts as the employer of record. From offer letter through project completion, HRO allows your company to tap the talent associated with this valuable source of contingent workers.
