HR/Compliance Challenges by Company Size: 55 to 100+ Employees

Key Challenges for 55-100 Employees:

• ACA Compliance: Once you hit 50+ employees, you must provide affordable health coverage.

• Formalizing Performance Reviews: As your team expands, you need to establish consistent performance reviews, compensation bands, and equity.

• Culture & Engagement: HR becomes a strategic concern as you need to maintain culture while scaling.

• Complex Leave Management: Managing FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) and ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) leave is more complicated as your team grows.

Likely HR Headaches:

• DOL Wage & Hour Audits: Compliance with wage laws and proper classification is more critical than ever.

• I-9 Audits: Incorrect employee classification or failure to meet documentation requirements could result in audits.

• EEOC Claims & OFCCP Compliance: If you’re a federal contractor, you need to meet strict compliance standards.

How a PEO Helps:

• ACA Reporting: A PEO handles all ACA filings (1094/1095) for you, ensuring compliance with the Affordable Care Act.

• Benefits Nondiscrimination Testing: A PEO ensures your benefits meet federal standards and do not discriminate against high earners.

• Leave Tracking: The PEO helps manage leave, ensuring compliance with FMLA and ADA requirements.

• HR Coaching & Training: PEOs provide ongoing coaching and training to ensure your HR practices are aligned with legal requirements and best practices.
