Ensemble Chimes Global Bankruptcy
14th January 2008ClearPath Workforce Management Available for Companies Affected by Ensemble Chimes Global Bankruptcy
Firm to provide interim and long-term contingent/contract worker management
MOUNTAIN VIEW, C.A.—January 14, 2008—ClearPath is making its contractor management and payroll services available to companies caught in the Axium International/Ensemble Chimes Global bankruptcy filed last week.
ClearPath, a contract worker management company, is offering impacted companies and staffing vendors a short-term alternative to transition payroll services from Axium/ECG as they evaluate their long-term strategy in managing contract workers. ClearPath provides a firewall for companies in managing risk for contingent workers, including payroll, taxes, benefits, workers’ compensation, 1099 compliance and outsourced HR and labor law.
“We’ve already assisted some companies in transitioning their contract management and payroll services as a result of the Axium/ECG crisis,” said Jason Posel, senior vice president. “Companies must make quick decisions to prevent tax and legal liabilities. We provide them both an immediate transition and a long-term complete solution.”
ClearPath, founded almost 15 years ago, provides contingent workforce management services that enable companies to efficiently and cost effectively engage the talent they need, while minimizing the risks associated with contract labor. ClearPath acts as a traditional employer—hiring the workers as their own W2 employees, capturing time and expenses online, processing payroll, providing benefits and HR support to them. Given ClearPath’s specialization in contract payroll solutions, their fees are typically significantly less than traditional staffing companies. For affected companies, ClearPath is offering special reduced rates to help them in this transitional period.
ClearPath’s 1099 compliance services and branded vendor-neutral software helps businesses properly manage their independent contractors, mitigating the potentially expensive risk of misclassification that may be a contributing factor in exposure and subsequent liquidation.
