West Palm Beach, Florida – Oasis Outsourcing, one of the nation’s largest Professional Employer Organizations (PEO), has become accredited by the Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC) and is participating in its PEO Client Assurance Program.

ESAC is the nationally recognized financial assurance, standard-setting and monitoring entity for the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) industry. Through its voluntary accreditation process, ESAC ensures that participating PEOs adhere to important ethical, financial and operational standards for the purpose of promoting a high level of integrity and responsibility within the PEO industry. As a condition of continued accreditation, Oasis is required to submit quarterly reports to ESAC including financial statements and an independent CPA’s verification of the timely and accurate payment of all payroll taxes, employee benefit contributions and insurance premiums.

“When a client joins Oasis Outsourcing, we assume important employer obligations for their company,” said Mark Perlberg, CEO of Oasis Outsourcing. “Through our participation in ESAC’s PEO Client Assurance Program, these obligations are assured by ongoing ESAC monitoring and the tangible financial protection of surety bonds held on our behalf.” The bonds are held by the Employer Services Trust, with a major national bank serving as Trustee.

This financial protection program from ESAC is similar to the FDIC for the banking industry and provides reimbursement up to $1 million per participating PEO, plus $10 million aggregate for all participating PEOs, for losses to clients, worksite employees, taxing authorities and insurance carriers in the unlikely event that a participating PEO defaults on the payment of wages, taxes, employee benefit contributions or insurance premiums. The PEO Client Assurance Program is designed to provide valuable assurance to Oasis clients without any additional cost.

West Palm Beach, FL – Oasis Outsourcing, the nation’s largest privately-held Professional Employer Organization (PEO), is introducing a new way for clients to complete all of the necessary paperwork and information for new hires – Employee Electronic Onboarding, a process designed to reduce the amount of paperwork and the time it takes for new employees to enter the workplace.

Through this process, employees can complete important legal documentation, as well as the introduction of important workplace-specific policies and procedures online. The forms, which are available online 24 hours a day, ensure privacy of employee personal information and reduce data entry errors through pre-populated fields and an electronic signature.

In addition, the electronic onboarding process interfaces directly with eVerify, an online system operated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA) through which employers can immediately verify employment eligibility.

“In today’s business environment, the more efficiently companies can bring on new employees, the sooner they can be productive,” said Kathleen Rainey, Sr. Vice President of Oasis Outsourcing. “Electronic Onboarding provides employers with the opportunity to streamline their hiring process and integrate new employees in a manner that helps to ensure compliance with complex legal guidelines. It’s a winning proposition for companies and employees alike.”

In addition to the ease of bringing on new employees, electronic onboarding also reduces administrative costs. With this process, there is no need for hard copy storage of federal, state and client forms and documents and the forms are quickly accessible online for government audits, inspections or other employer requirements.

“Oasis is constantly looking for new ways to provide added value to our clients,” said Rainey. “This process not only saves our clients time and money, but provides peace of mind as well.”

West Palm Beach, FL – Oasis Outsourcing, the nation’s largest privately-held Professional Employer Organization (PEO), recently hosted an Open House at its new headquarters, located at 2054 Vista Parkway at Emerald View at Vista Center.  The company relocated from its prior location in West Palm Beach to this space to better accommodate the substantial business growth over the past few years, as well as anticipated growth.

The building is one of the few Category-5 resistant buildings in Palm Beach County. It is able to withstand wind gusts of up to 185 miles per hour and in the event of a power outage, a 20,000 gallon diesel-engine generator provides backup power for up to 14 days before needing to be refueled. The building also features a solid concrete roof and solid concrete, steel-reinforced wall panel exteriors that exceed current building code requirements.   Close to 100 guests attended the Open House, which included tours of the offices and Human Resources and Payroll training sessions. With 36,000 square feet of space, Oasis occupies two of the four floors of the building.   “We are very proud of our new offices, and it was a pleasure to host our clients and business associates here,” said Mark Perlberg, President and CEO of Oasis Outsourcing. “The building’s disaster resistant features were very important factors in our selection process due to our commitment to take every measure possible to remain operational for our clients even in the worst of conditions.”   Emerald View at Vista Center is located at 2054 and 2056 Vista Parkway off Okeechobee Boulevard, one of Palm Beach County’s busiest thoroughfares. The office park is conveniently located less than one-quarter mile from Florida’s Turnpike and just minutes from I-95, West Palm Beach’s city center, and Palm Beach International Airport.     About Oasis Outsourcing Holdings, Inc.
