Save time and money: FrankCrum’s management fee is a fraction of what it would cost for full-time administrative employees. They realized that a growing company couldn’t afford to staff up to manage HR, health benefits, payroll and workers’ comp. As for workers’ comp, their overarching issue was availability in multiple states. With Texeira’s subcontracting business model, workers’ comp was often either unavailable or priced so high as to be virtually inaccessible. Using FrankCrum has allowed the company to gain workers’ comp coverage, often at a reduced rate.

Attract and retain talent: Staffing has been a challenge, but offering good healthcare benefits has been a real advantage – one that will be even more important as the business continues to grow. This was another factor in their decision to begin offering a 401(k) program.

HR support and guidance: They are extremely pleased with the knowledge and customer focus they encounter with their representatives at FrankCrum, and praise the speed and accuracy of the customer service staff. In one instance, an attorney for a terminated employee who wanted additional benefits contacted Texeira. FrankCrum resolved the issue quickly and to their satisfaction.

Freedom to grow: Using FrankCrum as an extension of their company has allowed them to be more efficient and competitive; maintaining the flexibility that allows them to focus on corporate growth rather than HR issues.

Reduce risk and liability: They say having FrankCrum in their corner gives them peace of mind relative to risk. Having the ability to ask for guidance relative to unemployment and other issues has been an advantage.

Consistently compliant: FrankCrum has removed concerns about workers’ compensation and payroll compliance.
