Your company’s future should be your top priority. That means you have better things to do than oversee HR work. Payroll, unemployment claims, new hire onboarding and labor law compliance can all sap time from a business leader’s overloaded schedule—without helping you grow your business. If your time is getting eaten by paperwork, or if your HR needs have grown too complex for your organization, you need a New York HR outsourcing company.
The rules and regulations involved in HR get more complex by the year. When you outsource, you gain access to a Fortune 100-level team of experts who can take on all of your administrative work—on an a la carte basis or across your entire company. A good HR provider can handle payroll, compliance, disputes and even recruiting duties. In many cases, they can even reduce employee turnover.

How does HR outsourcing help my company?
Human resources outsourcing focuses professional, experienced staff on your biggest administrative pain points and creates a high-functioning, streamlined HR process for your company. Depending on your needs, this could mean outsourcing all HR work or simply taking specific complex or time consuming tasks (like payroll) and outsourcing them. At NetPEO, we are able to be your sole HR provider or work side by side with your own in-house staff.
Benefits of outsourcing HR include:
- Reduced costs. The cost of hiring full time HR staff is high, and outsourcing key duties is often far more cost effective. It also gives you immediate access to experienced, professional staff—with no learning curve.
- Employee retention. When you have dedicated HR professionals on your team, you can bolster training practices, benefits, conflict management, and even your employee review process to produce better results, more engaged employees and higher staff loyalty. This translates to a higher employee retention rate, saving money on hiring and training and extending organizational knowledge.
- 100% compliance. You shouldn’t need to worry about complex rules around workers comp, diversity, tax withholding or payroll. Your HR outsourcing team can help you ensure compliance.
- Risk management. A key part of HR is strategy and risk mitigation. Good HR practices mean less risk of liability claims, employee complaints and disputes with labor.
Ask yourself the following questions:
- Am I spending too much time on HR-related work and not enough time on other vital parts of my business?
- Does my internal HR staff seem overwhelmed?
- Are HR rules and regulations not being followed?
- Are my records inaccurate and making the quality of life worse?
If the answer is yes to any of these questions, HR outsourcing can remedy those problems and benefit your business.
The primary benefit of outsourcing HR is time management. People often underestimate the HR workload until it starts to compound and then suddenly creep up on them. Excessive HR work is almost akin to downtime for your business.
You cannot fix or improve other parts of your business when you are stuck doing HR work every month. This time wasted can have adverse effects on your business as a whole. Outsourcing HR frees up time and allows you to be the leader your business needs.
The good news about outsourcing HR is that it is flexible. If you already have an internal HR team, you can help boost their working power and capability by outsourcing key functions that can work with them. If your internal HR staff needs help, outsourced HR services can give them the tools and help they need to get the job done.
The New York State Department of Labor posts many labor laws and regulations on its website that all businesses must follow. These laws often overlap with local and federal level laws as well. It can be confusing to comply with all of these laws. Outsourcing HR will carry out your HR duties in accordance with all laws at every level. Paying penalties or fines for violating these laws is an expense you should not have to deal with.

- Employee self service portals (ESS). ESS portals have become a popular way to communicate information between management and staff, and within any work group. Your portal will let your staff access digital version of crucial documents and policies, set up checklists and templates for routine tasks, and look up their own HR information like benefit info, PTO accrual and digital pay stubs. ESS portals are also provided when HR is outsourced. These portals allow your employees and managers to check and monitor time off, benefits, timesheets, and other important work-related information. Important messages can also be announced electronically, as well as any other essential memos or regulations.
- Payroll services. We can help you streamline and improve your payroll process, give you an easy-to-use online payroll platform, or completely outsource your payroll entry for you. No payroll is too complex. Payroll services can either be outsourced entirely or done by you or your HR team. Outsourcing payroll will provide you with tools and software to streamline the payroll process to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
- Benefits administration. Attracting great recruits means offering great benefits. Whether you want to upgrade the benefits you offer, or simply need help managing your benefits for your employees, NetPEO has the technical knowledge and the customer service to make it easy.
- Recruiting. No asset is more valuable than your staff. NetPEO offers full recruiting services including headhunting, candidate screening, onboarding and even training support.
- Termination & post-employment. Termination is a necessity but it’s also fraught with legal requirements. We can help you comply with all rules and reduce risk, while handling COBRA, unemployment claims and more.
- Government compliance. New York businesses face nearly 30 different areas of government regulations, including tax laws, safety rules, equal opportunity employment and more. We can help get your company into full compliance, avoiding hefty fines and penalties.
- ACA/Obamacare. ACA has added a highly complex new layer to benefits and compliance. Our experts can make sure that everything you do complies with this federal law and your state insurance market.
- Safety standards. Safety rules help you protect workers, control costs and avoid government sanctions. We can provide on-site or online safety training for your employees and make sure your organization is above-board on all rules.
Outsourced HR also entails employee management, which includes various different things. This is not managing employees in the traditional sense, but more so functions as a way to help you recruit, retain, and terminate employees. Hiring and firing employees can be a hassle, but outsourcing HR makes the process easy to do and compliant with New York laws.
Speaking of compliance, outsourcing HR also ensures legal compliance. An outsourced HR team will operate with your business within the law and follow all the rules set in place. You do not have to worry about any mistakes or lapses, resulting in fines that cost your business money. PEO companies in New York are ready to assist your business in meeting its full potential while keeping employees happy.

How is NetPEO different from other New York HR outsourcing companies?
The founders of NetPEO spent years in the human resources and PEO industries. In that time we saw that many HR providers simply fail to live up to their promises. Typically, these providers have the technical knowledge they need but lack the customer service to truly deliver solutions. We saw a need for an adaptable, responsive HRO provider with a focus on customer service. The result is continuous growth and one of the highest customer retention rates in the industry.
