INSURANCE AGENCY

HR Services

A great agency begins with a great team. Successful agencies recognize that employees are a vital resource, but they don’t always have the budget for a full-time, experienced, human resources professional on staff. Our Virtual HR service affords agencies all the benefits of a dedicated HR Manager, Recruiter, Benefits Administrator, Payroll Specialist, and more, without the cost of having this professional in-house. Our Virtual HR Advisors are experienced in all aspects of HR and are comfortable with many state regulations and requirements, including California. You can trust that your Virtual HR Advisor will maintain confidentiality, save your time, and ensure that the personnel-related activities are handled with the utmost care

Protect Your Agency and Stay Compliant with an HR Audit

An HR audit isn’t just a formality—it’s essential for protecting your agency from fines and compliance risks. Our audit ensures every piece of employee documentation is exactly where it needs to be, from I-9s and medical records to payroll tax forms and termination records. We verify that exemptions align with payroll, benefits deductions match your bills, and that all forms are accurate and up-to-date. By identifying potential vulnerabilities, we help you avoid penalties from agencies like the Department of Labor and Homeland Security, giving you peace of mind.

Could Your Employee Handbook Put Your Agency at Risk?

An employee handbook is more than a guide—it’s your agency’s blueprint for accountability and compliance. Our team ensures your handbook not only aligns with state and federal requirements but also clearly defines procedures and expectations for your employees. From outlining workplace policies to addressing agency-specific needs, we help you create or update your handbook to protect your agency and foster a culture of consistency and professionalism.

Are You Meeting Harassment Training Requirements?

Harassment training isn’t just a best practice—it’s a legal requirement in states like California and an essential step in protecting your agency and employees. Our training ensures your team understands their rights and responsibilities, creating a safe and respectful workplace. By addressing compliance requirements and fostering a culture of awareness, we help safeguard your agency from costly legal risks while promoting professionalism and accountability.

By analyzing salary data for each position—low, median, and high ranges—we provide clarity on where your agency stands in comparison to others in your area. This service ensures you’re offering compensation that makes sense for your business and your employees, without overspending or underpaying.
