OVERVIEW

Your mission is what draws people to your organization. Your ability to retain them depends on something more practical: benefits.

Georgia’s nonprofit sector is large and growing. The competition for qualified program staff, development professionals, and operations managers is real. The organizations winning that competition are the ones offering health coverage, retirement savings, and HR support that match what the for-profit market provides.

Most nonprofit leaders are managing HR with limited staff and no dedicated HR department. They spend time on compliance paperwork that takes them away from programs. They overpay for benefits because they do not have the headcount to access real group rates.

OneSource PEO changes that. We handle payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance so your leadership can focus on impact. We have served Georgia’s nonprofit organizations since 1997.

CHALLENGES

The four biggest HR challenges for Georgia nonprofits

PROBLEM 01

Competing for talent without a large HR budget.

Your candidates are often choosing between your organization and for-profit employers with richer benefits packages. OneSource pools thousands of employees so your nonprofit can offer group health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans that close the gap.

PROBLEM 02

Payroll and grant compliance are intertwined.

Grant-funded positions, restricted budgets, and multi-source funding require payroll accuracy that most standard systems cannot handle cleanly. OneSource processes payroll correctly across funding streams with the reporting your auditors and funders require.

PROBLEM 03

Employment law applies to nonprofits the same way it applies to businesses.

Tax-exempt status does not exempt you from FLSA, ACA, FMLA, or Georgia employment law. As your organization grows past 15, 50, or 100 employees, new obligations kick in. OneSource keeps your compliance current so you are not caught off guard.

PROBLEM 04

Small HR teams are doing too much.

Many Georgia nonprofits have one person managing HR alongside three other roles. Every hour spent on onboarding paperwork, benefits enrollment, or a compliance question is an hour not spent on programs. OneSource is the HR infrastructure your team does not have to build.

FAQs

Questions from Georgia nonprofit employers

Our payroll is funded by multiple grants with different reporting requirements. Can you handle that?

Yes. Our platform supports cost center and fund coding that aligns with grant-funded payroll structures. Your finance team gets the reporting your auditors and funders require.

We have a mix of full-time staff and part-time program employees. Does a PEO work for both?

Yes. OneSource manages payroll and benefits for your full workforce including full-time, part-time, and variable-hour employees in a single system.

Are the benefits you offer appropriate for a nonprofit budget?

Yes. Because we pool thousands of employees across our client base, your organization accesses large-group rates that make quality benefits genuinely affordable. Many of our nonprofit clients find that the savings on benefits more than offset the cost of the PEO service.

We are small right now. Is a PEO worth it at our size?

OneSource works with nonprofits across a wide range of sizes. Many organizations find that PEO services become cost-effective earlier than they expect, particularly when you account for the time saved on HR administration.

Georgia nonprofits competing for mission-driven talent need more than a payroll vendor.
