Cole James Associates,
Inc. provides Human Resources support to small businesses in
Virginia. We are entrepreneurs and small business owners just like you,
so we designed our company to be the kind of partner we
always wanted but could never find -- one that delivers uncompromising results
while treating your money with respect.
For most small businesses, dealing with HR issues is, at best, an irritating
headache. Your natural inclination may be to just ignore the
issues, wing it, or assume that your business is small enough to stay
under the radar. Unfortunately, too many small
businesses see their wallets drain and their dreams vanish with
one lawsuit or violation.
We know you started your business to pursue your passion, not deal with HR issues
or regulations. So, leave that work to us. For fifteen years, we
have taken the headaches out of HR and helped companies of all sizes avoid
HR landmines. This is our passion, and we do it extremely well.
5 WAYS COLE
JAMES WILL HELP YOU
1. We Can Save You Money--Pay Only For What You Need, Only
When You Need It Are you tired of paying ongoing fees
for Human Resources services you never use? Even worse, do you just avoid
dealing with HR because of cost or because you don't think you need
it? You no longer need to play that game of Russian
roulette. Cole James Associates provides unparalleled HR solutions
normally reserved for large companies, at a price you can afford.
All businesses need expert HR support, but most small businesses don't need
that support all the time. Unlike traditional firms, we provide flexible pricing plansso that you pay only for the support you need, only when you need it.
2. Enjoy Peace of Mind & Avoid Costly Fines It is estimated that 85% of small businesses are in violation of multiple
state or federal employment regulations. Are you?
Do you have accurate, complete I-9
forms on file? Are you using the new version of the form required as
of December 26, 2007?
Did you know that Virginia now
requires leave rights for victims of crime?
Are your required federal and state
posters up-to-date? You didn't pay for them, we hope.
Do you know which laws apply to you
based on your number of employees? Even if you're under the threshold,
you can still face a legal suit.
Can you pay your Office Manager a salary instead of
hourly? Don't let the word "Manager" trip you up.
Can you give your employees comp
time instead of overtime?
Do you know when the concept of "employment-at-will" doesn't work? It's not the same as being a
"right to work" state, and it doesn't mean you can have a termination
"free for all".
Do you know you have benefits
obligations to former employees, even if you're not covered under COBRA?
Issues like these are an unavoidable
part of doing business whether you have one employee or 10,000.
3. Grow Your
Business While We Take Care of HR You need to spend your time getting
new customers, growing sales and increasing profits. Spend your time
doing what you love while we take care of HR hassles.
4. Reduce
Turnover, Increase Retention
The process of hiring and training employees is extremely time-consuming and
costly. Hire right the first time and you won't face the distraction of
problem employees. The cost savings from reducing turnover will add
significantly to your bottom line.
5. Personal,
Quick, Friendly Service When you have questions, you need
answers. Tired of leaving endless messages for some faceless
representative across the country? Tired of waiting for hours or days for
a response or feeling like you are bothering someone when you do have a
question?
Let us exceed your expectations. You will be working directly with a
principal in the company who understands the needs of your business. Our
knowledge and experience is unsurpassed, and so is our
friendliness.
