Every organization, no matter how small, must have at least one HR professional. Someone has to be in charge of administrative issues and duties concerning unemployment compensation, withholding taxes, administering benefits (if provided) and administering workers compensation.  As organizations grow, they should consider the value of outside companies to help meet their HR needs. Depending upon the particular organization, the strategy of hiring HR help on an as-needed basis makes the most sense.

As a company grows, some additional federal & state laws start becoming applicable, and it can be quite difficult to remain in compliance on an ongoing basis. These small companies may want to transition from hiring HR help on an as-needed basis (which is akin to putting out fires as they start) to a continuing relationship with an outside service provider such as Total Team Solutions. 

By the time an organization has about 15 or more employees, it will find it difficult to do business efficiently without having a dedicated employee working with the outside service provider to handle the daily HR issues: payroll, hiring, firing, scheduling, attendance, training, discipline, policies, leave and employee benefits. Also, by the time an organization has 15 employees, the small employer that wants to become a big employer should probably be thinking strategically in terms of human resources. So, while a company like Total Team Solutions will be assisting with the day-to-day HR administrative functions, the business owner can focus on the company’s core competencies and develop a more strategic approach toward HR management.
