OVERVIEW

Running a skilled trades business in Georgia is complicated.

You’re managing workers who get hurt on the job, workers’ comp bills that keep climbing, and payroll that gets complicated fast.

Most trade owners carry all of this alone. They pay too much, spend too many hours on paperwork, and still worry about the next audit.

OneSource PEO changes that. We handle your workers’ comp, payroll, HR, and benefits, so you can run your business instead of your HR department. We have been doing this for Georgia’s skilled trades since 1997.

CHALLENGES

The four biggest HR problems for skilled trades businesses in Georgia

PROBLEM 01

Workers’ comp costs keep rising.

Electrical, and plumbing carry the highest comp rates in any industry. One bad claim pushes your experience modification rate up for years. OneSource manages your claims, not just your policy. That means lower costs over time.

PROBLEM 02

Your workforce changes constantly.

You hire three plumbers for a commercial job and let them go when it wraps. Standard payroll systems were not built for that. OneSource scales with your crew: add employees fast, remove them without friction, pay only for what you use.

PROBLEM 03

Compliance is a legal risk for trade businesses.

Misclassified workers, expired certificates, and Georgia labor law requirements create real exposure. OneSource keeps your documentation current and flags problems before they become penalties.

PROBLEM 04

Small trade businesses struggle to offer competitive benefits.

Your best electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs have options. They go where the health insurance is. OneSource pools thousands of employees so small trade companies get the same group benefit rates as large corporations.

SERVICES

What OneSource PEO provides for Skilled Trades businesses

Workers’ Compensation

Pay-as-you-go workers’ comp with active claims management. We do not just administer your policy. We work to reduce your modification rate over time. Our team handles claims from first report through resolution, keeping your costs down and your crew protected.

Payroll and HCM Technology

Accurate, on-time payroll for hourly and salaried employees. Our platform supports certified payroll reports for prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon Act jobs. You get a system built for field-based trades and not just an office.

Employee Benefits Pooling

OneSource pools thousands of employees to create buying power. That means group health, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans at rates most small trade businesses cannot get on their own. You offer big-company benefits without being a big company.

HR and Compliance

OSHA recordkeeping support, onboarding documentation for every hire, and ongoing guidance on Georgia employment law. When the rules change, we tell you what it means for your business.

Dedicated Support

You get a real person who knows your account. When a claim comes in on a Friday afternoon or you need to add a crew member before Monday morning, you reach a human. Not a call center. Not a ticket queue.

We have used other payroll companies over the past 20 years and none have been as good to work with as OneSource. They respond very quicky and they have been so great to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been working with this payroll company for several years, and they have been nothing short of outstanding. Managing payroll can be stressful, but they make the entire process seamless, accurate, and worry-free.
Their team Savanah and Beckie are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive. Whether it’s handling routine payroll, staying compliant with ever-changing regulations, or answering questions quickly, they consistently deliver with precision and reliability.
What I appreciate most is their attention to detail and commitment to customer service. They truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s rare to find a company that maintains this level of excellence year after year.
I highly recommend them to any business looking for a dependable, efficient, and trustworthy payroll partner..Thank you for all you do..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough great things about Savannah and the team at One Source Business Solutions in Cumming. The level of personalized service they provide is something I never experienced with my previous app-based payroll company.

Savannah consistently goes above and beyond to answer any question I have—no matter how unusual or last-minute the request may be. She’s helped me out time and time again with things most companies would probably brush off or delay.

It’s rare to find this level of responsiveness and genuine care anymore. If you’re looking for a company that truly supports your business and treats you like more than just a number, I highly recommend working with Savannah and the team here. Truly unbelievable service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have dealt with OneSource for 20+ years. The entire staff that I have met have all been wonderful people to work with; they each mean so much to me. I have developed a special connection with Beckie and Savanah over the years. I refer to these ladies as the "Dynamic Duo". I have grown to consider them my family!
It is so nice to know that "my people" are close if I ever need anything for my business!

Can OneSource handle workers' comp for high-risk trades like plumbing or electrical?

Yes. This is a core strength of our program. We work with electrical, plumbing, and other high-rate trades where many PEOs charge punitive rates or decline coverage. Our claims management approach works to bring your experience modification rate down over time.
