In fact, there are many benefits that come with outsourcing to an HR professional such as Applied Medical Systems (AMS), such as:

3 Benefits to Outsourcing Your Human Resources Functions With AMS:

1. Improved Compliance: The medical industry is highly regulated. Furthermore, there are so many employment laws and regulations that are a headache to deal with such as FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act), workers compensation, discrimination, and employee benefits, just to name a few. A surefire way to avoid fines and ensure you are in compliance with employment laws, as well as HIPAA and other medical regulations, is outsourcing your HR department.
2. Save money: Instead of hiring an internal employee (or employees) to handle payroll, benefits, and various other HR functions, we can help streamline this process as well. Ultimately, medical practices that have outsourced their HR function have found that it saves them money. In fact, the larger your practice grows, the more money you can save by outsourcing HR.
3. Benefit From Outside Resources: You may have found that attracting good quality job candidates is a difficult task, especially when you have limited time to comb through 100’s of resumes.
