CONSULTING SERVICES
At HR Connections, our top priority is to understand our clients' needs and to provide the appropriate solution for the efficient operation and administration of their HR department.
Our main services include:
Our consulting services enable our clients to realize the solutions they desire with regards to compliance, benefit plan design and administration. We conduct a confidential human resource audit to assist in identifying problem areas, and then implement a plan to address them.
Compliance
We provide assistance in the development of Employee Handbooks and Policy & Procedure Manuals that help to reinforce the client's values and business objectives to their employees.
In addition we assist in the development of hiring and termination procedures as well as other human relations and policy issues.
We author a quarterly newsletter that highlights the most recent revisions in regulations that provides updates to our clients on pending regulatory changes that may affect their business.
HR Connections maintains personnel files using HR Office, a human resource management software solution developed by Ascentis. We use the system for all of our outsource clients and make the system available as an in-source solution for clients who want to access and maintain the system themselves. The client can access personnel files and print reports remotely. There are several levels of password security, so it is an ideal tool for companies that have supervisors and various levels of management that should be given access to only certain parts of the employee file. Resumes, performance appraisals, even employee photos can be scanned and attached to the employee file.
We have used several higher priced solutions, and feel that this system gives our clients the best value and capability for just pennies a day. We would be glad to arrange a demonstration of this product to enable you to see the capability and reporting that is available.
We design, implement and administer employee benefit plans for our clients.The following services are available:
On-Line Open Enrollment
In view of the fact that an employer has four hours to produce records when an OSHA inspector visits their site, those records must be current and up to date. Many employers just do not have the time to keep them current, and are subject to immediate penalties when they cannot produce what the inspector requests. Our staff has been trained in keeping accurate records for our clients. A client can outsource the task, or we can train their employees to do the job.
We assist clients in designing a Hazard Communication Plan, complete with Material Safety Data Sheets. Copies of these plans should be kept at your business office as well as all work sites.
