Case Study: HEPA Environmental Services, Inc. achieves lower HR costs and streamlined payroll & workers’ comp with PrismHR

HEPA Environmental Services, Inc. - Customer Case Study

HEPA Environmental Services is a Rootstown, Ohio–based environmental services firm with about 30 employees that handles asbestos, lead, mold, industrial cleaning and hazardous‑materials work. As a small, high‑risk company, HEPA needed payroll, HR expertise, workers’ compensation and 401(k) administration but couldn’t afford in‑house specialists, and its multi‑state payroll and costly workers’ comp requirements were especially challenging.

HEPA partnered with GMS as its PEO and used PrismHR technology to outsource recruiting, onboarding, payroll, benefits and workers’ comp management. The PEO delivered immediate cost savings—notably reducing workers’ compensation expenses—while providing on‑demand expertise, streamlined online payroll/HR tools, and simpler employee access to paystubs and records, freeing HEPA’s leadership to focus on operations.
