What is a PEO?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a firm that provides comprehensive HR solutions for businesses. A PEO enters into a co-employment arrangement with a company, meaning it becomes the employer of record for tax and compliance purposes while the client company retains control over its business operations and day-to-day management of employees.


Key Functions of a PEO:


Payroll Administration:

PEOs manage payroll processing, ensuring employees are paid accurately and on time. They handle all aspects of payroll, including direct deposits, tax withholdings, and issuing W-2s.


Benefits Management:

By pooling multiple client companies, PEOs can offer competitive benefits packages that might be unattainable for smaller businesses on their own. This includes health insurance, retirement plans, dental and vision coverage, and more.


HR Compliance:

PEOs ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws. They stay updated on changes in regulations and help businesses avoid costly fines and legal issues by managing compliance-related tasks.


Risk Management:

PEOs provide workers' compensation insurance and help implement safety programs to minimize workplace risks. They also handle claims management and assist in developing policies to prevent workplace accidents.


Employee Relations:

PEOs offer support in managing employee relations, including handling disciplinary actions, terminations, and conflict resolution. They provide HR expertise to help maintain a positive work environment.


How a PEO Works

Imagine a small tech company with 20 employees. The company partners with a PEO to manage HR functions. The PEO handles payroll, employee benefits, and compliance, while the tech company focuses on its product development and market expansion. The employees receive better health insurance and retirement benefits, improving job satisfaction and retention. The business stays compliant with labor laws, reducing the risk of fines and lawsuits.
