How Does a Kansas PEO Work?
When working with a PEO company, your business enters into a shared or co-employment relationship. The PEO becomes the administrative “employer of record" and is responsible for payroll, tax reporting, benefits, risk management and more. You maintain direct control of the day-to-day activities of your employees, while the PEO manages the paperwork. The only differences you'll notice are lower employment costs and less time spent on work that doesn't generate a dime of revenue.
Save Money By Using a PEO
Kansas employers can often see discounts on their workers' compensation insurance rates at up to 40% off state rates. PEOs also offer no down payments, or annual audits. How much you save depends on your current situation, so call us today for a free cost analysis.
Administrative costs when using a Professional Employer Organization range between 2%-4% of your annual payroll. This amount is much less than the average 8%-15% ( evaluated by the Small Business Administrations) when managing similar tasks in-house.
Kansas PEO Advantages for Workers' Compensation
