What is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?
PEO companies take the responsibilities of workers' compensation insurance, payroll, human resources, risk management, and benefits management off the business owner’s shoulders.
PEOs allow employers to focus on growing profits and expanding business opportunities. A PEO also offers smaller businesses the opportunity to attract more talented employees by providing affordable group health and other benefit plans they might not otherwise offer.
Advantages of Using a PEO Include:
- More time to focus on business growth and service
- Payroll outsourcing benefits such as direct deposit, payroll tax filings and deposits, garnishments, and specialized reports
