How does a PEO work?

You focus on growing your business while the experts focus on taking care of the non-revenue generating administration.

That’s the idea behind a Professional Employer Organization or PEO (also known as an Employee Leasing Company). To accomplish this goal a PEO shares the employer responsibilities of your business. In this co-employment relationship the PEO helps to alleviate the burden of employer risks, finding affordable employee benefits and assisting with employee administrative functions.

Because the PEO is in the business of employee administration it can handle the administration of benefits, payroll taxes, regulatory compliance and human resources support more efficiently than a single business could on its own. This allows you to focus on your business, saving time and reducing your employer liability.

Additionally, the buying power of PEO’s enable them to negotiate better rates on items like Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Health Benefits than a single business could obtain on its own. These cost advantages a passed down to your business, saving you money and generally enabling you to offer a broader ranger of higher quality benefits to your employees.

The PEO relationship enables you focus on growing your revenues and the day-to-day management of your business such as hiring, firing, promoting, demoting and client service. Meanwhile the PEO takes car of the non-revenue generating aspects of your business including payroll tax administration, benefits administration, Risk Management and Human Resources.

Still other PEOs cater to the needs of lower risk companies such as Dr. Offices and offer discounts on premium benefit plans including Health and retirement. Learn more below.
