Licensed professionals looking to open their own office, firm, or practice have several options for a company structure. Some professionals opt for a LLP (limited liability partnership) or a PC (professional corporation). A PLLC, meaning a professional limited liability company, is a possible consideration when making the important decision of how to structure your business.
A PLLC (if permitted in your state) can be a solution if you meet the eligibility criteria. Here’s what you should consider before making any major business decisions surrounding the company structure that will work best for you.
Most businesses are managing modern compliance requirements with tools built for a different era.
Ten years ago, spreadsheets and email reminders could handle multistate compliance. Multistate compliance mistakes were rare because state payroll was simpler. Employees worked from offices. State compliance requirements changed slowly. And companies expanded more deliberately, usually one state at a time.
But that world no longer exists.
Today’s compliance management landscape is constantly shifting. Remote employees scattered across state lines overnight. Regulations update continuously. And what used to be manageable for employers has become a tangled knot of requirements that outdated tools simply can’t manage.
Whether you’re grabbing coffee during a break or scrolling through your newsfeed, conversations about workplace safety seem to be everywhere. From high-profile accidents to discussions around employee well-being, it’s clear — safe working conditions are a top priority.
But with so much information (and sometimes misinformation) swirling around, getting a clear picture of your workplace safety obligations can be tough.
That’s where OSHA comes in. OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Think of it as the workplace safety rulebook for the United States.
