Providing Human Resource Solutions at the Speed of YOUR Business! 
 

 
Greetings! 

Happy Summer, Everyone!  I hope that you & your family are enjoying your summer fun - filled with s'mores, camping, vacation, being on the water, camps, and everything else that you do to make summer memorable! 

Thanks for the great feedback that you gave us on our new website.  If you haven't seen it yet, check it out (it's very cool):  www.hrstrategygroup.com  Also, have you seen us on Facebook?  We would love to get to 100 FANS by the end of July, so please check us out and "Fan" us.  We regularly post updates there - so stay tuned to your Facebook Wall for our posts. 

Now... to our newsletter... this month, we are EXCITED to roll-out to you our newest offering - COMPENSATION REPORTS that can help you figure out the best benchmarks for paying people in your company.  Wouldn't it be terrible to lose a valuable employee over a couple thousand bucks?  Wouldn't it be better to know what the market is paying so you can talk with the BEST DATA at your fingertips?  Well, read our article about compensation, then let me know how we can help you and your company. 

Secondly, we're including an article about payroll - why it may make sense to outsource your payroll to payroll experts.

Please feel free to give us your suggestions as to articles or resources that will help you manage the HR function in your company more effectively. 

Have a wonderful summer to you & yours! 


Best,

Compensation:  The Elephant in the Room
Amy Polefrone and Kim Grounds 
HR Strategy Group, LLC

Compensation is a touchy subject among employees and employers.  Often staff members will have questions about why their salary doesn't match the "average salary" for the position when they download information off the web.   Employers question why do we give pay raises across the board when some positions should really have a cap?  They wonder what really is the best pay structure and what are we trying to reward?   Both groups have questions and they are rarely ones that are openly and easily discussed.

  

For both employers and employees, using tools such as compensation studies can assist in providing baseline data to make informed decisions.  Whether your company is expanding and you need to understand how to "price" new positions, or you are considering going for a higher position in your company and you want to understand its earning potential - compensation studies can provide a wealth of information.

Before You Outsource Payroll . . . 
By Amy Bradbury, Guest Columnist
Mosaic Business Soluttions

Choosing to outsource your payroll can be one of the smartest decisions you make for your business. Payroll can be very complicated and penalties are very costly - and smart business owners know that it's always best to find an expert and delegate! However, before you make the decision to outsource your payroll, there are critical things you need to know about your employees, your payroll, your tax liabilities, and your business. As a payroll service provider, I see many companies who come to me without the answers to these questions below. Having these answers will help the payroll service you are talking with provide you with a better proposal and better long term service - saving you both time and money.
