GMS Company

Payroll, benefits, human resources and workplace safety for businesses across the United States are handled by GMS Company, a professional employer organization. The firm describes itself as certified, and reports working with small and midsize employers since 1996. It says it works with thousands of companies and pairs its proprietary HRIS platform with a dedicated account manager.

Payroll, tax filing and the certified PEO role

As a professional employer organization, GMS takes on much of the administrative load of employment. Its payroll service is delivered online and includes payroll tax management and payroll processing, which the firm says reduces errors and keeps filings compliant. The firm presents its certified PEO status as the basis for taking on that work.

Benefits from group health to retirement plans

The benefits range covers group health coverage, supplemental insurance plans and telemedicine, with specific programs for diabetic management and metabolic wellness. The firm also administers 401(k) plans and profit-sharing arrangements, and it manages benefits for members and their providers. It says these packages help clients compete for good staff while easing the administrative burden on the business.

HR administration, recruiting and training

The HR work covers hiring and training help, performance management, HR audit, learning management and unemployment claims. The firm presents its HR function as dedicated, so that business owners can focus on running the company rather than on HR administration.

Workplace safety and workers compensation

The risk management services cover workers compensation management, workplace injury reporting with nurse triage, workplace safety programs, noise monitoring and fleet management. The firm says these services help a team stay protected and keep the business compliant with its obligations.

One portal and app for the whole workforce

Employees reach their records through a self-service portal and mobile app, which the firm calls GMS Connect. The portal is where employees find their year-end W-2 forms, and the firm says the same app lets them reach their own records.

Proprietary HR technology with account support

The firm's human resources information system is a software platform that collects and reports all employee data in one central hub. The firm says this saves time, money and resources, and that it works alongside a dedicated account manager for each client. Offices across the country give clients local support backed by national resources, and the firm publishes guides on PEOs, HR outsourcing and small business health insurance.
