			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How much is your health insurance plan cost increasing this<br />
year?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Do you have fewer than 50 employees?  Have you made the jump to “high deductible<br />
plans,” only to see your rates go down for one year, and then start climbing<br />
again because your company health insurance plan is community rated?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>How can small companies make a long-term impact on their health<br />
insurance rates?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Wellness programs, prevention, exercise, high deductible<br />
plans, and HRA’s and HSA’s can all help you save money, over the long<br />
term.  There is just one key to making it<br />
work – you have to be <strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">experience rated.  </span></em></strong>So, how does a small company,<br />
with fewer than 50 employees, get into an experience rated plan?  By yourself – you can’t.  But, there is a way…</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Professional Employer Organizations, or PEO’s, allow you to<br />
join a large, experience rated group, because the PEO is the “employer of<br />
record” for all of the employees for each of their clients.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>PEO’s provide a multitude of benefits for small companies,<br />
from compliance to cost savings, and “big company” benefit programs, PEO’s<br />
allow you to outsource all of your Human Resources responsibilities, and allow<br />
you to focus on your business.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At Saratoga Human Resources Solutions, Inc., we have<br />
extensive experience and a proven track record in designing, communicating, and<br />
educating employees about health insurance plans that save money over the long<br />
run by helping employees make better decisions about their health care<br />
purchases.  Since these plans are<br />
experience rated, good experience means that year over year, plan costs are<br />
contained.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Are you ready to start saving money, for real?  Visit our website, or give us a call today!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>New Service Model Enables Small Businesses to Outsource Human Resource Function to Focus on Growing Business</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>February 7, 2011 &#8212; Saratoga Springs, NY &#8212; </strong>Saratoga Human Resources Solutions today announced that it has expanded its well-established human resources business to offer a new Professional Employer Organization (PEO) service focusing on providing a full human resource function for growing small businesses.</p>
<p>“Our PEO offers businesses the ability to have a top-notch human resources department at a fraction of what establishing that department in-house would cost,” said Jim Marco, President of Saratoga Human Resources Solutions.  “With impending healthcare legislation and the ever changing world of employee hiring and management legislation, our 20 years of experience can help businesses navigate those turbulent waters smoothly and seamlessly.”  Marco also noted that the New York State Department Of Labor has stepped up enforcement, and this service is designed to eliminate exposure to audits and fines.</p>
<p>Saratoga HR’s PEO offering allows businesses to outsource all of the Human Resources related compliance, payroll, payroll taxes, benefit, employee relations and administration issues that businesses face on a daily basis, and frees management to run the business.  The PEO is essentially an entire human resources department ensuring that their clients have the proper compliance, support and processes in place.</p>
<p>Benefits of Saratoga HR Solutions PEO include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete HR Compliance, ongoing 	compliance support</li>
<li>HR policy development</li>
<li>Payroll and Timekeeping Services</li>
<li>Payroll tax calculation, timely 	payment and document submission</li>
<li>Health and welfare plan design, 	vendor negotiations, employee education, administration, and 	compliance (COBRA,  HIPAA, etc.)</li>
<li>Retirement plan design 	administration and compliance</li>
<li>Employee handbook customized to 	your business</li>
<li>Worker’s compensation, 	disability, and unemployment claims management</li>
<li>Employee relations support</li>
<li>WOTC and HIRE program 	administration</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Saratoga Human Resources Solutions also offers full service Human Resources Consulting, Employee Background Checks, Criminal Background Screenings, Drug Testing, and related services.</p>
<p>###</p>
