PTO Plans on the Rise
by admin on Apr.09, 2010, under GHRO, PTO - Paid Time Off
In the most recent survey, virtually all of the companies that said they offer a paid time off plan allow both exempt and nonexempt employees to participate in the plan. Most include vacation, sick time and personal days in their paid time off plan, and nearly half include days off to care for dependents.
Nearly three out of four (72%) companies with a paid time off plan allow days to be carried over to subsequent years. About 30% of such companies allow the bank of accumulated days to grow to between 20-29 days, while an almost equivalent percentage (26%) allow the bank to grow to a maximum of 30-59 days.
The survey, which included nearly 2,000 responses, was conducted by BLR’s HR Daily Advisor in January 2010.
For detailed survey results, see the Paid Time Off Practices Survey Results.

What is a PEO?
by admin on Mar.08, 2010, under GHRO, Professional Employer Organization
In a PEO/co-employment relationship, our clients continue to direct the day-to-day duties and activities of their employees. However, because the PEO takes on the majority of HR management chores, your time is freed to focus on what matters most – your business.
At the same time, as your PEO, we contractually assume certain rights, responsibilities, and risks on your behalf, particularly in the area of Workers Compensation. We become the “employer of record” on an employee’s W-2, which means we deliver and manage employee benefits, payroll processing and tax administration, workers’ compensation, state unemployment insurance, EEOC claims and much more.
Your Trusted PEO
As a leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO) GHRO Total Solutions provides integrated services designed to streamline the cost and complexities of HR management, employee benefits, payroll, Workers’ Compensation and more. We offer this through a unique and seamless co-employment model that provides the benefits of a highly-staffed HR team, without the overhead costs.
