Transitioning away from PEO services is a complex process, but with careful planning, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here’s what you need to know about planning for a seamless PEO transition, with a handy checklist and timeline to ensure a smooth exit strategy.

Businesses operating in multiple states face an ever-growing web of compliance requirements and challenges. And every year brings a new wave of privacy laws, tax regulations, and state employment laws.

With that in mind, we’re exploring some of those transformative trends reshaping multistate compliance.

In today’s workplace, few tools are as important as the employee handbook. This essential document connects your company policies with your workforce needs. However, creating and maintaining a handbook presents challenges to businesses of all sizes. On that note, we’re examining what makes handbooks so valuable, obstacles they can present, and how Mosey helps you overcome traditionally steep hurdles like non-exempt employee handbook requirements.

HR compliance is a cornerstone for smooth operations and safeguarding a company’s most valuable asset — its people. However, as companies grow and even cross borders, keeping up with the ever-shifting HR rules can feel downright overwhelming. Therefore, to conquer compliance, employers must understand HR rules inside out. This knowledge helps you avoid legal troubles while also fostering a friendly, cohesive work environment. That makes an HR compliance checklist essential for staying on the right side of the regulatory tracks.

Operating a business across multiple states used to be a challenge reserved for large corporations with established legal departments. Not anymore. With remote work becoming commonplace, even small businesses now face multistate compliance issues as employees relocate across state lines. The bottom line: what was once a straightforward regulatory landscape has transformed into a complex set of requirements that can catch even the most diligent HR leaders off guard.

For many smaller or growing businesses, managing HR functions can be a significant challenge. Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) offer a solution by handling payroll, benefits, compliance, and other HR responsibilities through a co-employment arrangement. While PEOs provide valuable services that help businesses focus on growth, it’s important to understand both their advantages and limitations. Today, we’re exploring the benefits PEOs offer, who they work best for, and when companies might consider alternatives as their needs change.

Pre-employment drug testing helps employers create safer workplaces while minimizing liability and costs. However, while it’s now standard practice across many industries, the specific drug testing law requirements vary widely by location. Navigating these drug testing laws can be a real challenge for employers and business owners.

As a result, understanding both pre employment drug testing laws by state as well as federal regulations is essential for implementing effective, legally compliant drug testing programs.

North Carolina labor laws are the foundation for employer-employee relationships throughout the state. These regulations protect workers’ rights while providing businesses with guidelines for maintaining fair and productive workplaces. Therefore, understanding NC labor laws helps both sides avoid disputes and ensures everyone knows their responsibilities and entitlements. For businesses, compliance means avoiding penalties and building a positive workplace culture. For workers, knowing their rights helps ensure fair treatment in all aspects of employment.

Saying goodbye is never easy. Whether an employee is moving on to new opportunities, retiring after years of dedicated service, or leaving under less favorable circumstances, how you handle their departure matters. A lot. Sure, employee offboarding—the process of formally separating an employee from an organization—gets overshadowed by its flashier counterpart, onboarding. However, it deserves just as much attention. Think about it—a rock-solid offboarding process protects your company from security risks, maintains team morale, transfers vital knowledge, and might even turn departing staff into future brand ambassadors.
