the agreement

Local Expertise.

Real People.

Proven Results.

As a veteran-owned, community-first PEO headquartered right here in Riverside County, AB Personnel understands the unique challenges local businesses face—especially when it comes to payroll, HR compliance, and employee benefits. Unlike national players such as ADP or Paychex, where you often navigate automated ticket systems and generic solutions, we pair you with a real, accessible HR professional who knows your market, your people, and your industry.

1. Personalized Service You Can Count On

When you call AB Personnel, you won’t get buried in a queue or shuffled through “ticket” software. You’ll speak directly with:

  • A dedicated HR manager who lives and works in Riverside County
  • A single point of contact for payroll questions, benefits enrollment, and compliance concerns
  • A team that answers within one ring—no bots, no hold music, no runaround

This level of responsiveness means faster issue resolution and more time for you to focus on growing your restaurant, medical office, or service-trade operation.

2. Deep Expertise in Your Industry

From patios to patient rooms to job sites, each sector has its own regulations, certifications, and benefit expectations. We specialize in:

Restaurants

  • Overtime calculations for back-of-house staff
  • Tip-pooling compliance
  • ACA reporting for part-time workers

Medical & Dental Offices

  • HIPAA-compliant payroll processes
  • Credential tracking and continuing education support
  • Coordination of health plans tailored to caregivers

Service Trades (HVAC, Contractors, Solar, Automotive, Landscaping)

  • OSHA and state safety regulation management
  • Prevailing-wage tracking on public-works contracts
  • Equipment-use policies and workers’ compensation administration

By aligning our processes to the nuances of your field, we help you avoid costly fines and keep your employees happy and protected.

3. Local Roots, National Capabilities

We serve all 50 states, but our passion is empowering Riverside County’s small and midsize businesses—from Corona to Temecula, Moreno Valley to Menifee. That means:

  • In-person onboarding and training at your site or ours
  • Partnerships with local chambers of commerce and veteran networks
  • Rapid, region-specific compliance updates (e.g., Riverside County sick-leave ordinances)

While national payroll providers update their policies on a corporate timetable, our proximity lets us move at the speed of local government and community needs.

4. Veteran-Owned with a Community-First Mindset

As veterans, we carry the values of service and accountability into every partnership. Working with AB Personnel means:

  • Robust, benefits-driven packages that help you recruit and retain top talent
  • Community engagement programs—job fairs, mentorships, and sponsorships—that showcase your brand as a local leader
  • A company culture that mirrors the integrity and teamwork you expect on the job site

When you choose us, you’re not just outsourcing HR; you’re investing in a trusted ally who treats your team like family.

5. Outpacing the Competition

ADP and Paychex may talk PEO, but without an on-staff HR manager and with offsite “ticket” systems, they often leave clients juggling multiple vendors and hotlines. Here’s how AB Personnel stands apart:
