Key Features
1. PEO
Infiniti HR promotes itself as the “The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises®”. As a service geared towards the needs of franchises and other large businesses, Infiniti HR focuses on bringing down the total cost of labor and mitigating employer liability. To this end, it is a labor aggregator; they work with labor suppliers throughout the United States and utilize technological solutions to lower the total cost of labor. It is listed as a Premium Supplier to the International Franchise Association, is a Qualified Vendor for Choice Hotels International and an Endorsed Supplier to Best Western Hotels and Resorts.
Infiniti HR works with clients to calculate their total annual cost of labor, including non-revenue generating employees in departments such as HR and payroll. Taking this number as a base fee, Inifiniti HR works to lower the total cost of labor and mitigate liability through its PEO services, HR outsourcing, insurance programs, and other methods. Each client is assigned a Conversion Manager who oversees the process, an HR Director, and a Recruitment Manager who will source new talent during the conversion phase and throughout the PEO relationship. Clients can connect to their PEO team directly at any time, rather than going through a customer service department.
The service works with many national and regional insurance providers to provide compliant, competitive, and low-cost employee insurance packages. Benefits options include dental, vision, FSA and HSA benefits, Minimum Essential Health Coverage, STD insurance, Life insurance, accident insurance, critical illness coverage, hospital indemnity, ID theft, Telehealth, pre-paid legal, Wagecard, Zayzoon, HomeBeneift IQ, pet insurance, maternity benefits, individual health options, and even home and auto insurance.

Our verdict
For large employers in hospitality and other service industry franchises, Infiniti HR can reduce their liabilities, lower costs, and generally streamline and simplify their businesses. For large national employers, operating franchises in several states, employing a variety of internal HR and accounting teams in each region, and handling all recruitment internally, the Infiniti HR system could drastically reduce their workload.
Smaller employers who wish to use a PEO to attract highly competitive remote working knowledge workers may find the system less suited to their needs.
