The Choice Is Easy

This is more than a business relationship. Dromen values collaborative, relationship-driven partnerships, embodying a positive and inclusive approach to support our clients.

Co-Employer

This model of FMS service may be selected when the participant desires to share some of the employer roles and responsibilities with an FMS. While the FMS provider in this model is the employer of record, the participant maintains the ability to hire and terminate employees with input from the FMS provider. The FMS provider maintains the primary employer liability and required insurances. The FMS also assists by verifying provider qualifications and processing payroll. Co-employer model will have Dromen as the employer of record.

Start with the Why:

We know what we do; why we do it is so much more important.

Bill Payer

This model of FMS service may be selected when goods or services are purchased from a business. The FMS providing services in this capacity writes checks and pays for goods and services listed in the IPP and or PCP. No employer/employee relationship exists between the FMS, the service provider, or the participant. The business is responsible to provide the items or workers and the FMS provider writes the check for the goods or services provided. The business or vendor providing the item/service maintains the employer/employee relationship with any workers and therefore is responsible for all applicable employment laws and taxes and to obtain appropriate insurances (i.e., worker’s compensation).

Shared duties as Bill Payer:

  • Each person makes sure the participant has funds for the entire year.

Client’s duties as a Bill Payer:

  • Provides appropriate documents for vendor or business onboarding.

  • Provides approved invoices to Dromen for payment.

Dromen’s duties as a Bill Payer:
