Testimonials From Our Members
Thanks to CEA and Craig Strong for being my hero this week!! I had a former employee who filed a claim against my company with the Department of Labor. Craig Strong came to meet with me as soon as I had contacted him. I immediately had confidence in his ability because of his questions during our meeting. Not only did he contact the deputy Labor Commissioner to get some of my questions answered, but ultimately, he was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement with my former employee. I appreciate that he took the burden off of me and took responsibility for settling the case while I continued to run my business. He not only worked expediently, but he was very professional and did a great job of addressing all of my concerns and working with my former employee to settle the claim. He represented my company well in the negotiation for the settlement and kept me informed throughout the process.
Craig's settlement saved BWI enough to cover 7 more years of CEA membership dues!! I am grateful to have CEA in my corner when these issues raise their ugly heads! Kudos to Craig! Kudos to CEA!

"When we initially went into business, we never thought we needed a human resource department, but we quickly saw this was a whole new ballgame for us. We knew we needed to learn what CA labor laws are out there and how to comply with them. CAE's support, resources and expertise have been invaluable to us."
Dave Buckholt, Vice President
Bayshore Ambulance Inc.
CEA member since 1997
"We've been in business for a long time. We've endured the ups and downs and appreciate other companies, like CAE who have done the same. CAE has helped to keep us in compliance and helped us to avoid some horrendous mistakes over the years. Independent businesses are often overlooked, but not by CAE."

CEA Member since 1954
"We orginally joined CAE due to labor unrest. We've kept CAE on board over the years as a resource and as insurance. I call CAE when I need help and they answer all my questions."

"There are so many new rules and regulations in CA. We are located out in the sticks, but CAE keeps us up to date on what's going on in terms of employment labor laws. They are a great resource!"

"If I have questions, I get them addressed with the help of CAE. I have used CAE to help me with unemployment claims and I also enjoy their monthly newsletters. It's important to me to hear from my representative throughout the year. I really see the value of CAE."

"Joining CAE has been one of the best business decisions we've made in the past year. CAE has helped us out with so many difficult situations -- we can't imagine not having them as a resource."

"I would recommend CAE to all businesses, especially the small businessman. Not all employee situations are the same and there is always a new question or problem that arises just when you thought you knew it all. CAE is there to give you advice and has the resources available to answer any questions or concerns.
"Being a member with CAE has given me piece of mind. Knowing that I am doing things in compliance with State and Federal employee regulations."

"Having access to CAE is like taking a test and being provided the answers!"

"Prior to our membership with CAE, we were paying high prices to a knowledgeable law firm for periodic answers to our human resources questions. Since we could not afford an annual retainer fee and called at random, we weren't always able to get an answer right away. It wasn't a good feeling to know that we were in a dangerous area of exposure if we weren't sure of legal issues in those immediate situations.
Since our membership with CAE, we have always been able to get same day answers from their knowledgeable bank of staff members, who are backed up by a law firm and CAE pays that retainer fee. Our membership has been of tremendous value and is a good low cost solution for keeping up with the most recent laws. CAE is a great resource for small business and we plan to
renew each year.

Gentlemen,
I am writing to express our extreme satisfaction with the services CAE has provided on our behalf.
During our membership we have realized significant reductions in our costs from employee turnover. In 1997 when we commenced having CAE representatives handle all our unemployment claims we had a UI rate of 3.6%. Our rate has decreased every year and for 2001 our rate is a mere 1.4%. This hard dollar savings to Gaynor Telesystems, Inc. has more than paid for our membership in CAE.
The excellent services you provide for our employee handbook and compliance posters are also invaluable. The trainings we have received for our supervisors have contributed to the excellent team we have at Gaynor Telesystems.
Thank you for all your assistance over the years and we look forward to many more beneficial years. Please feel free to use our name as a reference for your services!
Sincerely,
Maureen J. Gaynor
Vice President
"When you've got 350 employees at 4 locations and you're not sure what to do, you need someone you can call on to get the answers. We call CAE."

A friend, a knowledge bank of resources and a very reasonable minimal cost for a more than adequate service.
