Who is Merit Resources?

Our Background
Merit Resources was founded in 1989 with a focus on providing a high level of customer service and assisting small to medium businesses with human resources and payroll functions. We have since continued to grow our professional offerings to include risk and benefits management as well as other back office solutions to become a full service professional employer organization offering our clients many services normally unavailable to them and their employees.

Merit Resources enables clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, workers’ compensation, employee benefits and payroll. Potential results of outsourcing include increased profitability, productivity, and time spent on the business, while reducing liability and the overall cost of ownership.

Certifications and Compliance
Professional client service teams are dedicated to helping our clients and their employees. That's why Merit Resources employees take regular training and attain various certifications in areas such as Human Resources, Payroll, Risk Management, Benefits Management and more. Certification is just one way we demonstrate our commitment to leading edge education and training. We remain consistently current and compliant with new employment laws and requirements and maintain active memberships with various organizations such as:

  • NAPEO (The National Association of Professional Employer Organizations) where our CEO sits on the Board of Directors.

  • APA (American Payroll Association)
