In previous newsletters, some articles have mentioned the benefits of outsourcing. If you do any research on this subject you will find a common denominator: cost effectiveness.

Provided the outsourced service is properly managed, the time spent working with an outside company should be minimal, with an average of less than eight hours per month. Another reason for outsourcing is the reduction of employee liability issues. With an outside vendor providing its own liability and worker’s comp insurance, you should see a reduced insurance premium.

The housekeeping operation has a history of high injury claims and most, if not all, workers comp carriers have established a separate category to identify this department: Class 9000. You may want to check with your insurance carrier to see what effect reducing or eliminating your Class 9000 employees would have on your overall premium.
