Henderson Taylor

Henderson Taylor is a boutique employer of record firm and professional services company that has provided outsourced workforce solutions since 1988. As an employer of record, Henderson Taylor assumes the employer relationship with a client's temporary workers and independent contractors, which avoids employee misclassification fines and ensures proper compliance with all state and federal employment laws. The company handles the administrative and legal tasks while the workers remain under the client's direction, covering FICA and FUTA/SUTA compliance, timely and accurate payroll processing and tax filings, licensing requirements, workers compensation, unemployment insurances, background checks, drug screening, record keeping including W2s and I-9 verification, administration of health, dental and vision benefits, and management of the termination process. Founder and CEO Joan Henderson leads the company with experience in human resources, staffing, recruiting, employer of record work and payrolling.

Henderson Taylor organises its work around three groups of workers. Independent contractors are classified and managed as Henderson Taylor's own W-2 employees, which removes the misclassification risk that can result in expensive state and federal fines. Retirees and past employees are brought back on assignment through a third party employer of record, giving companies a cost effective and legal route to temporary work shortages without disturbing benefits and retirement plan policies. Specialised workers are handled by a team that stays abreast of the specific labour legislation and requirements placed on certain categories of staff. The company states that its quality of service is a matter of record with industry leaders in insurance, healthcare, financial services, energy and aviation.

Henderson Taylor is based in Dallas, Texas, and also runs an office in Richmond, Virginia, serving small to Fortune 500 companies in multi state locations. It is a nationally certified, woman owned business with over 30 years of experience in customised employer of record services. Clients choose the company for the significant cost savings and risk mitigation it reports, for the outsourcing of personnel functions and the minimising of legal liabilities placed on employers, and for a boutique model the firm describes as small in number but great in experience and capabilities.
