Denver Partners - Administaff, Inc.

With Administaff, business owners can cut much of the red tape that goes hand-in-hand with personnel management – without spending a lot of green.
Administaff, one of the fastest growing companies in its industry, is a professional employer organization that provides off-site personnel management services to small and medium-sized businesses throughout the U.S.

Most small businesses cannot justify the expense of a full-fledged on-site human resources department. As a result, business owners are saddled with the responsibility of administering employee benefits, managing workers’ compensation, and meeting government filing requirements – onerous tasks that eat up their time and take them away from their core business.

In addition, most owners of small and medium-sized businesses find it difficult to provide their employees with a full range of employee benefits – benefits that employees deserve and employers would like to offer. As a result, these employers find it hard to compete with the ‘giants’ when it comes to attracting and keeping the best employees.

Entering into a relationship with Administaff solves both of these problems.

By establishing a co-employment relationship with the existing staff of a client company, Administaff assumes responsibility for many employer duties while the client owner serves as the on-site supervisor responsible for implementing Administaff’s policies and procedures.

"Administaff clients see immediate improvements in four major areas: administrative support, employee benefits, employer liability management, and human resource expertise," says Joe Caulfield, district manager of Administaff’s Denver office.

By pooling its employees and making use of volume purchasing power, Administaff gets competitive rates from top providers on the full range of employee benefits – including such items as comprehensive health insurance and benefits plans, an employee assistance plan, a 401(k) plan, a credit union, disability plans, an education assistance plan, and supplemental life insurance.

Under Administaff’s three-point employer liability management strategy, the business owner transfers a number of liabilities to Administaff, shares others that he or she was previously responsible for, and acquires resources to better manage what’s left. This has a positive impact on areas that include workers’ compensation coverage and claim service, safety policy development, unemployment claims, terminations, conflict resolution, outplacement and development of employee handbooks.

Administaff was founded in 1986 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas, with offices in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. The company opened its Denver office in September 1996. In 1997, Administaff went public, listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ASF.

Administaff is one of the founding members of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), and is accredited by the Institute for the Accreditation of Professional Employer Organizations (IAPEO). As an industry leader, Administaff considers IAPEO accreditation essential to assure clients of the highest level of integrity.
