What is a PEO?

Professional employer organizations (PEOs) enable clients to outsource the management of payroll administration, human resources, employee benefits and workers’ compensation cost-effectively. Utilizing a PEO makes it possible for business owners to concentrate on their core competencies to maintain and grow their bottom line.

Contracting with a PEO passes these responsibilities and risk onto them. This allows you to concentrate on the operational and revenue-producing side of your operations.

A PEO service provides an array services to effectively manage human resource responsibilities and employer risks for clients. A PEO delivers these services by establishing and maintaining an employer relationship with the employees at the client’s worksite and by contractually assuming certain employer rights, responsibilities, and risk.

PEO services provide incredible value and benefits:

• Access to a comprehensive employee benefits package.
• Assistance to improve productivity and profitability.
• Assistance with employee administration.
• Personnel management solutions through a team of payroll and HR professionals.
