Our Capabilities

About Benefits, Payroll, and HR

Does your organization have an up to date personnel handbook? Do you have established hiring systems? Do you have a plan for employee healthcare and other benefits? Semi-monthly payroll administration for employees and contractors? How about experts on-call to handle human resources challenges? If you are a sponsored project with Community Initiatives, the answer to all those questions is “yes.”

Employment Administration

  • New-hire processing: job-offer letters and employee visa authorizations
  • Employee changes: salary adjustments, promotions, title changes, FLSA clarification, leaves of absence, etc.
  • Separation processing: cause-of-termination review, final pay arrangements, exit interviews, layoffs, salary reductions, etc.
  • Full payroll services: check processing, W-9s, 1099s
  • Maintenance of I-9 information

Benefits Administration

  • Employee health and welfare plans
  • Retirement plan administration through our 401(k)
  • Flexible spending account administration
  • COBRA administration

Risk Management & Compliance

  • Maintenance of employee personnel records and documentation
  • Regulatory compliance (ERISA, FLSA, EEO, and other federal and state regulations)
  • HR risk management for worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance
  • Compliance-related training for project directors and managers (EEO, sexual harassment, etc.)
  • Independent contractor templates and compliance

HR Policies and Employee Regulations

  • Performance management coaching
  • Comprehensive Employee Handbook
  • Employee relations consultation
  • Conflict resolution
  • Grievance handling and administration
  • Mediation

We feel grateful for the extensive support that we would have a hard time doing with such a small staff. Community Initiatives allows us to focus on the mission and less on administrative tasks. The generous benefit packages also allow us to recruit, hire, and retain staff more effectively than we could as a small organization.
