Government Official tells Franchise groups to "shape up" or be "shipped out of existence with huge fine". Read on to see how you can use a PEO to avoid fines and save money at the same time.
Whether you are the franchisor or the franchisee, the irresponsible actions at just one franchisee store can deleteriously affect everyone in the chain. As a result of high profile investigations and prosecutions against individual stores and franchisees in Chilli's Texas Grill Restaurants, Darryl Lea Chocolates, Bakers Delight, and Brumbies to name just a few who have been targeted, every other outlet in those chains have not only been negatively affected by the bad publicity, they have also been targeted for audits. The Workplace Ombudsman, Nicholas Wilson has made it perfectly clear (see article in Breaking News) "Franchisors such as Bakers Delight must help their members meet Workers Rights". The message is clear and unequivocal. Ignore it at your peril.
What's a PEO?
A PEO is a Professional Employment Organisation - one of the fastest growing sectors in world business today.
The reason? A PEO performs all the functions in your business that takes you unnecessary time and money, leaving you free to do the things that make a profit. It is the most powerful cost-cutting and business efficiency tool you can use.
We are the country's leading PEO (Professional Employment Organisation). We work for companies as diverse as Night Owl, Bank of Queensland, Big Dad's Pies and many, many more.
Working with us as your PEO creates a form of co-employment between you, your staff and us. We effectively become the employers of your staff, but only for the functions that you don't really want. You retain the right to direct, control and integrate the staff to do what you want.
As a result, and virtually seamlessly, most of your staff operational and management costs and responsibilities will disappear; dramatically improving your bottom line and leaving you clear to concentrate on improving the business itself.
As your PEO we will reduce your employment costs, reduce your unit labour cost, simplify rostering, virtually eliminate your payroll administration costs including staff, training, software and risk of fraud, and protect you from the potentially huge financial penalties for non-compliance or breaches of workplace arrangements and workplace health and safety regulations.
And it's something we've been doing in Australia for years.
