WHAT WE HEAR EVERY WEEK
eMod creep is silent until it’s not. You’re still paying for something that happened two years ago, and you’re losing bids to contractors with cleaner profiles.
“It was a WC increase that was the breaking point. I should have done it two years earlier.”
Buddy DeLong · CEO, Bluegrass & Weedman
Accurate reports across counties and trade classifications, assembled by hand, every pay period. One public-sector job and suddenly you need a specialist.
“That was a big time suck on our internal staff. They can get quite complicated.”
Wayne Martin · COO, A. Eiler Construction
Payroll, onboarding, benefits, compliance — each touching a different person. When something slips, nobody knows who dropped it until there’s a real problem.
“All the different HR functions were sort of scattered about. Things were missed.”
Wayne Martin · COO, A. Eiler Construction
Crews follow the work into Illinois, Kansas, Tennessee. Every new state brings new registrations, new filings, and new rules your bookkeeper wasn’t expecting.
“Payroll taxes are very complicated, especially working in all the states we can possibly go to.”

Lily Bedwell · CEO
Always Hard Concrete
Always Hard Concrete specializes in building concrete skateboard parks across the country. Crews are currently active in Grantsville, Utah and will move next to an Apache reservation in Arizona. The company also takes on local St. Louis work including driveways, sidewalks, and private backyard skate parks. Lily is the sole office presence. All other team members are on the road.
THE SIMPLOY DIFFERENCE
We actively manage your eMod, your claims process, and your renewal. The WC savings alone often offset the entire admin fee — and your renewal quotes start going the other direction.
“You’re going to do all this work and then we’re going to pay less and have your HR experience? Wow.”
Buddy DeLong, CEO Bluegrass & Weedman
Accurate reports generated across counties and trade classifications, every pay period, without manual assembly. Public projects stop being a back-office tax on your team’s time.
“That was a big time suck on our internal staff. They can get quite complicated.”
Wayne Martin, COO A. Eiler Construction
Your crews access pay info, benefits, and onboarding from any job site — without calling the office. Fewer interruptions, smoother crews, faster onboarding for new hires.
“Five minutes later they have all their paperwork on their phone.”
Wayne Martin, COO A. Eiler Construction
We absorb the compliance liability — terminations, wage disputes, regulatory changes. And unlike a national platform, we’re a local team with a real phone number and a person who answers it.
“Having that locality was probably the selling point. There was a person we could touch.”
Lily Bedwell, CEO Always Hard Concrete
“I would tell them there’s an easier path that will take a lot of stress off your shoulders and allow you to concentrate on what you do best. And I would recommend it to just about anyone.”
— WAYNE MARTIN | COO, A. EILERS CONSTRUCTION
STL’s Fastest-Growing Private Company.
“I have no trouble singing their praises because they’ve really been a good partner. It worked for us then and now that we’re growing rapidly, it continues to work.”
— BUDDY DELONG | CEO, BLUEGRASS & WEEDMAN
137 Employees. Client since 2014.
“PEO meant nothing to me. I didn’t know what that meant until I met Simploy. It turned out to be something that has allowed me as an operator to change our course entirely.”
— LILY BEDWELL | CEO, ALWAYS HARD CONCRETE
