We manage the employment related regulatory compliance for our clients. This responsibility includes payroll, employee related taxes, employee benefits administration, workers compensation administration, 401(k) administration, human resource management and consulting and HR data management. The amount of forms and documentation required for these responsibilities is enormous and the printed paper burden has always been large. We have invested in new software to digitize a majority of the forms that were previously printed and stored as required by state and federal regulations. Through new processes and software, those records will now be captured in PDF form as a digital record and will be securely stored on our software. When documents need to be produced, they will be accessible to our internal staff, where the PDF versions can be printed or securely emailed as needed. This process will be far more efficient, using a tiny fraction of the paper previously used. Not needing to search through massive filing cabinets will allow us to track and locate information more rapidly. This will also enhance our Disaster Recovery system as we will have all of the digital records stored offsite on our software. While this is a capital investment for us, we feel that it is necessary to be more efficient as well as environmentally friendly.
