Meeting a growing need

Over the last two decades, the U.S. has seen an exponential increase in employment-related federal, state and local laws and regulations. This new bureaucracy has overwhelmed the experience and training of many entrepreneurial employers, while devouring time that could be better spent on revenue-producing activity. What's more, today's worker demands comprehensive, affordable health care, retirement savings plans, and other up-to-date benefits.

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) arrangement with CSL immediately shifts the burden of these regulatory worries and worker demands to CSL, making it possible for business owners to give their total attention to their main business venture. CSL can assume almost all of the approximately 62 administrative requirements now mandated by the State of California.

How we stand apart

CSL specializes in small business relationships, partnering with businesses that have no HR department, don't know how to write an employee handbook, or are stumped by California labor laws. Whether their companies have as few as one employee or as many as fifty, our clients appreciate that the time, energy and liability of administrative tasks are lifted from their shoulders. And from large to small, our clients frequently find that CSL's administrative fees are offset by the savings CSL brings to workers' comp alone.

CSL is unique in that we truly see ourselves as an extension of our client's business, ready to take on our clients' struggles as our own. We lend an ear and provide expert guidance when our clients find themselves facing unfamiliar issues such as growing and changing corporate structures, personal tax strategies for owners, leadership mentoring, management training, employee motivation and conflict resolution.

A perfect example of CSL's unique commitment to customer service is a small one: every caller to a CSL office is greeted by a real, live person. We're big believers in the "human" component of human resources and we bring that philosophy to everything we do for our customers.

In 11 years with CSL I've gone from one-and-a-half employees to 20. They've helped me every step of the way. They're dependable and affordable — the only way to go.

CSL founder Michelle Hutchinson and CSL were finalists in the 2005 and 2006 Sacramento Workplace Excellence Awards, and Michelle was ranked either fifth or sixth of the Top 25 Women in Business for five straight years by the Sacramento Business Journal. We believe such success grows from the dedication of the CSL team as well as Michelle's personal commitment and loyalty to her clients.
