• View leave time balances for leave requests that are currently active

Your HR Manager at Idilus will review and process requests in conjunction with your company’s HR contact.

• Be paid a salary, meaning that they are paid a predetermined and fixed amount that is not subject to reduction because of variations in the quality or quantity of work performed (the “salary basis test”);
• Be paid at least a specified weekly salary level; and
• Primarily perform executive, administrative or professional duties, as provided in the DOL’s regulations (the “duties test”).

Highly compensated employees (HCEs) performing office or non-manual work and paid total annual compensation of a specified amount are exempt from the FLSA if they customarily and regularly perform at least one of the duties of an exempt executive, administrative or professional employee identified in the standard tests for exemption.

How does this impact you? Employers must review all employees paid on a salary basis to ensure they meet the salary requirements if they use the EAP salary exemption. If an employee does not meet the salary requirements, the employer can change the employee’s compensation to hourly or increase the salary to meet the salary requirements. Review the job duties tests referenced in the DOL Fact Sheet to determine whether or not an employee can be compensated hourly. (ADP, 6/14/2024)

Idilus is a Professional Employer Organization or PEO. A PEO is a firm that any employer can use to outsource administrative management tasks. In our basic package, we offer the following:

• Payroll Services We ensure that your employees will always be paid correctly and on time.
• Benefits Management We provide your employees with health insurance, 401(k) options, and other benefits at competitive costs to your business. Imagine offering Fortune 500-level benefits to your employees for potentially less than you’re paying now.
• Human Resources Management and Training At Idilus, we have a highly versatile staff that is trained and licensed in a variety of fields. We can partner with your existing staff to offer specialized training in any human resource area. We can also help you navigate tough situations like onboarding, firings, and bereavement practices.
• Risk Management and Compliance You can focus on more important parts of your business while we focus on ever-changing labor laws so that your business is always compliant with the most recent standards.

The benefits of partnering with a PEO.

While many business owners have an I can do it all myself attitude, outsourcing your payroll services may save your business up to 100 hours a week on HR administration and compliance, depending on the number of employees you have. By having a dependable pay schedule, you can bolster company morale and loyalty while saving dollars on your bottom line.

Dependable pay is essential, but most employees search for companies that offer more than just a paycheck. Benefits, such as comprehensive health and 401(k) plans, are more critical than ever in today’s competitive job market. 78% of people say that health insurance is the most important benefit offered by their employer.
The problem, especially in small to mid-size businesses, is that offering large company benefits packages on a small budget is often difficult, if not completely out of the question. This can cause your company to miss out on more experienced and talented candidates because you cannot offer the benefits they want and need. The benefit of using a PEO like Idilus is tailored comprehensive benefits packages that are also affordable.

One of the most important parts of successful business ownership and execution is ensuring your employees feel heard daily. When you have many employees in various departments, this can be no small task. At Idilus, we offer two services to help with employee perception and satisfaction.

The first is training. Our highly qualified staff is equipped to train your staff in everything from appropriate workplace behavior to management team best practices. We can help tailor training programs to your company’s specific needs.

The second service we offer is full Human Resources coverage. This means that if someone has a death in the family, we can help you properly handle bereavement leave. Or, if you need to let an employee go, we can help you deal with the entire process. Don’t leave yourself and your business open to lawsuits and complaints in the HR department. Let us help you successfully train and take care of your employees so that you can focus on more important parts of the business.

As business owners, we know that keeping your employees safe is your top priority. Unfortunately, accidents happen on the job. Idilus offers comprehensive risk management and compliance services that can help mitigate costs in the event of employee injury. We also offer programs assessing your company’s HR practices to help prevent on-the-job accidents. By letting a PEO like Idilus handle your compliance and risk management, you can be sure that your company is always up to date on labor laws and standards, and your company is at a lesser risk for injury or lawsuit.

What does that mean for you?

At Idilus, we can help you handle all of your payroll and payroll compliance needs. We can ensure that your people are paid the correct amount, on time, and that all your taxes and legal fees have been accurately filed and accounted for.

We can help you stay up to date with changing labor laws.

In the last five years, three out of five small businesses have been faced with lawsuits regarding the treatment of their employees. Furthermore since 2000, the number of labor laws and regulations have grown by 67%. Your company is responsible for keeping up with every single one of these changes. Don’t put your company at risk. Let us worry about changing laws and regulations so that you don’t have to.

We can make sure you keep track of overtime, holiday pay, sick days, and away leave.

Your employees have a certain number of days allotted to them for things like major illness and vacation. If you deal with hourly employees, you have to consider their overtime pay, holiday pay, and everything in between. When you sit down to process payroll, all of these considerations can be a real headache to take care of, especially if you have close to 100 employees. This is where we come in. We can help ensure that every hour, sick day, and comp day is accounted for so that you don’t lose money on labor.

We can offer direct deposit and employee paychecks.

No matter how many employees you have, handwriting their paychecks isn’t a quick and easy task. We can simplify your payroll processes by offering direct deposit and paycheck processing. This ensures that your employees get paid on time with little to no hassle for you.

We can integrated benefits easily.

Since we offer customizable benefits packages for your employees,, we can handle all of your employees compensation methods at once. We provide your employees with a simple statement each month outlining what they’re paying for healthcare, their remaining time off, and more. Don’t attempt to handle details like HSAs and 401Ks on your own. Let us take care of every aspect of your employee’s compensation.

We give you unlimited access to HR professionals.

At Idilus, we pride ourselves on having an experienced staff of human resources professionals at your disposal. No matter what your staffing issue, we can ensure that you are handling your people with sensitivity, timeliness, and legality.

Payroll Compliance is more complicated than you may think.

Everyday more rules and regulations are placed on employee payroll. For a small business owner who is spending most of their day keeping up with their product or service offerings, clients, customers, feedback, and general staff management- there isn’t much room to think about what it takes to get your people paid. Included in Simple Scale is a comprehensive payroll compliance package. This means that we will take care of making sure your people are paid on time, legally, and in the correct amounts. Most employees rank payment mistakes as the number one reason to leave a company. Enroll in Simple Scale and watch your retention increase.

Benefits Packages do not have to be tricky.

What are two of the biggest reasons that top talent decides not to leave a Fortune 500 company to join the corporate world? Compensation and job security. Startups are a historically risky field. Many job seekers feel unsure about their future in taking a startup job over a more secure established company job. Plus, usually startups cannot pay as much as other companies as they work on shoestring budgets and contend for funding. The benefit of using Simple Scale is that it can enable you to offer your existing and prospective staff better compensation monetarily and through benefits. Let us help you shop healthcare plans, 401Ks, and other options so that your employment offers carry the same weight as any other company’s. You will like the results.

Reduce risk, build culture, and make your people happy.

No matter what, at the end of the day, businesses are built and maintained by the people that build them. While that may seem like an obvious statement, one reason why people leave a job is because they don’t feel like the company they worked for cared about them. One component of Simple Scale is the option to let us help build your employee handbook, and lay an outline for the company culture you want to achieve and hire accordingly. We can help you present clear cut guidelines to your staff before they ever take the job with your company so that they feel protected and cared for from day one. We also have an entire team devoted to risk reduction and management. This can help keep you from incurring workers compensation claims, or help you mitigate them if you do. Keep your people safe, happy, and protected by signing up for Simple Scale.

Not matter what industry you are in, or what your startup is, we can help save you time and money through Simple Scale. Contact us today to
