What Does a Nevada PEO Do?
There are a number of great benefits for employers looking to partner with a PEO.

Benefits of a Nevada PEO Service
The PEO company becomes the administrative branch for your Nevada operations. Payroll, tax reporting, workplace safety, benefits administration and many other employee related issues are outsourced for much less than in-house costs. As the employer, you continue to run the day to day operations as usual - but now with more time to focus on growth.
Professional employer organizations and many HR outsourcing providers offer Fortune 500 benefits with competitive rates that are accessible for big and small companies. Human resource professionals reduce many employment liabilities by providing assistance with safety and employee handbooks, along with proper hiring and employment procedures.
