Looking to cover your contractors with pay-as-you-go coverage? Here are some essential tips to ensure smooth operations: 1. Prepare the right documents: You typically need a 6 month lookback & a 12 month projection of work in order to get a quote. And you'll need monthly hourly reports to adjust your premiums. 2. Maintain clear communication: Communicate with your insurance partner any nuances or exceptions that may apply. We can help you navigate potential issues, or even suggest more applicable coverage. 3. Stay up-to-date on regulations: Classification and compliance regulations are constantly evolving as the gig industry continues to grow. Make sure you or your insurance partner is up to date to avoid getting hit with serious fines.

Fringe benefit wages are a great asset to government contractors. How they're managed has a direct impact on how profitable a company can be and how competitive they are in future bids. The GovCon Vertical website for AP has a great savings calculator when using fringe dollars for bona fide benefit expenses rather than cash paid out of payroll. Check it out! #servicecontractact #davisbaconact #governmentcontracting #fringebenefits #benefits

The Department of Labor (DOL) has released the final rule regarding the test for independent contractors. Employers will now use a totality-of-the-circumstances analysis, in which none of the factors carry greater weight. There are six factors to consider when determining whether a position/person should be classified as an independent contractor or an employee. These factors include, The degree to which the employer controls how the work is done. The worker’s opportunity for profit or loss. The amount of skill and initiative required for the work. The degree of permanence of the working relationship. The worker's investment in equipment or materials required for the task. The extent to which the service rendered is an integral part of the employer's business. In addition to these factors, we recommend that independent contractors have their own business license, multiple clients, insurance, equipment and an independent contractor agreement with the client/employer. Independent contractors should invoice their client, and companies should pay those invoices from accounts payable. Please contact us with any questions you may have regarding this change. #FLSA #DOL #PrismHRConsulting #independentcontractorrule

Small business contractors are feeling the impact of changes that insurance carriers are requiring in workers compensation insurance audits. We can alleviate most of the burden by connecting payroll accounting data feeds to the workers compensation auditing contractor. Without this, a small business could be looking at an extra thousand dollar bill just for the increased work in handling the insurance audit.

Are you unsure about whether to pay your workers on a W2 or 1099? It's essential to understand the differences between true subcontractors and their necessary insurance coverages to avoid potential liability. Do they have a business? Are they an LLC? Corporations should have a policy or get an exemption if they qualify. Do they just do business as an individual, like: “Tammy Brown, doing business as Tammy Brown?” If they are just doing business as themselves, they don't necessarily have to have work comp coverage, but this means that you may need to cover them on your policy. These are important topics we should discuss. One of the other things is, are you dictating to them when they work, how they work, and what tools and equipment they should be using? These are all factors that you need to consider when you're paying people by 1099 to make sure that you aren’t going to have to pay for their work comp or their liability coverage. If you're not sure and you are in that realm of paying people as a 1099 subcontractor, then let's have a conversation. Let’s make sure that you have the right coverage in place, you are providing the proper coverage, and not going to get stung on an audit at the end of the term of the policy. Remember, work comp is based on payroll and if the subcontractors are on your payroll, you could get charged for them. Let's have a conversation and get that situation cleared up. #Subcontractors #Insurance #RiskManagement #BusinessTips

The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) recently shared insights from their Annual Symposium, revealing that Workers' Comp remains highly profitable with a Combined Ratio of 86%. This marks a significant milestone after a decade since the ratio was last over 100%, a truly unprecedented occurrence. The good news is that rates are expected to remain stable, barring changes in state laws or economic shocks. For business owners grappling with rising costs amid inflation, this development offers an opportunity to navigate these challenges. By assessing whether you might be overpaying for workers' compensation, you can potentially offset cost increases. If you're curious about optimizing your expenses without disrupting your current agent relationship, I'm here to chat.
