Many organizations attempt to institute an effective, cost efficient Risk Management Program in an effort to reduce workplace injuries. These programs can be difficult to implement, often with unproductive and costly results. However, effective Risk Management is a key driver in mitigating the high costs associated with occupational injuries and claims.

Charter HR creates safety programs that help businesses reduce the chance of employee injury, and promote a healthier, safer work environment. Through regular on-site inspections, loss prevention strategies, return-to-work programs, and effective claims management, Charter HR helps keep employees safe at work, and your business OSHA compliant.

Our approach is to do more. As an industry leader in Employee Benefits, we have positioned ourselves to offer your employees innovative solutions through our full-service insurance agency, Charter HR Benefit Solutions.

Charter HR is a cost-effective solution for dealing with the administration
and legal liabilities associated with employees!

Charter HR can also provide Administrative Services Only (ASO) to client companies. As with Charter HR's PEO service, we take care of all aspects of the payroll process, from cutting checks, making tax deposits and completing payroll tax returns, to providing W-2s to all of your employees; however the paperwork is filed under the client's federal employer's identification number rather than Charter HR's. Basically, the ultimate responsibility for insurance coverage, regulatory matters, and safety management remain in the hands of the client company. Many companies find this preferable because they retain even more control and can still be very hands-on without having to handle mundane details on a daily basis.

Below is a detailed List of Services to ASO clients. Whether you are currently processing your payroll in-house, or it is being outsourced, Charter HR provides the same excellent customer service and support to our ASO clients as with our PEO clients.
