2 . Employee Leasing Overview

Sometimes California businesses may wish to expand the workforce in their companies, but do not want to deal with the difficulties associated with human resources departments. In other words, the business needs staff, but does not need to deal with payroll, benefits, vacation schedules, and the other aspects of having employees on staff. Businesses around California that find themselves in this situation sometimes turn to employee leasing for their staffing needs.

In an employee leasing situation, a third party comes in to help match employees with businesses looking for workers. This third party is called a professional employment organization, or PEO. The PEO handles benefits, time off, salary concerns, and other issues that a business’s human resources department would normally attend to. The PEO sends qualified employees to the business after conducting interviews and determining whether or not the employee is a good fit. The company can help with the hiring procedures in California, but technically, anyone hired through a PEO is an employee of the PEO, not the company.

3 . Difference Between a PEO and a Temp Agency

Sometimes the employee leasing procedures appear to be similar to the process of hiring an employee through a temp agency in California. Temp agencies, popular employment venues for those between jobs or looking for seasonal work, place employees into work situations where a temporary need is found. Sometimes a worker in California may be off for extended sick time or maternity leave, and they leave a spot that needs to be filled temporarily. Temporary employees are considered employees of the temp agency, while they work at the California location where they have been placed.

Similarly, staff leasing allows companies to find employees through a third party called a PEO. Using a PEO and employee leasing is different than a temp agency, however, because the employees are usually employed on a more permanent basis. Those seeking an employee leasing company around California are typically looking to lease employees long term. While no job is completely permanent, these jobs are longer lived than most temp agency jobs.

Also, employees found through a PEO employees leasing program are usually more of a professional or technical nature than those found through a traditional temp agency. The PEO will interview the company to find out details about the type of jobs they need filled and the caliber of staff they are looking for. While PEOs can be found in factory working environments, they are also found in executive type work environments around California.

4 . Who Can Use PEOs?

A PEO can be an option for any business in California looking to increase the workforce of the company, without adding a human resources department. Some smaller California businesses find that they need employees, but they are not large enough to put together an attractive benefits package to entice the best workers to their businesses. A PEO and employee leasing is a good option for a business that finds itself in this position.

Workers can also find a PEO to be a good place to go to look for work. Some workers in California choose to apply with a PEO while pursuing their other job leads. Whichever source of work comes up with the right job for the worker will be the chosen job venue. As such, PEOs are highly motivated to find work for their employees, to avoid losing them to other job offers.

It's always difficult to let an employee go, but it's something that can't be helped. What you don't want to have happen is an employee suing you over a reference you give a prospective employer. “The best way to prevent problems when giving out references is to have the employee who's going to being sign a waiver agreeing to have you provide a reference,” says Bob Bregman, a senior research analyst for International Risk Management.
