PEO Guide

What is a PEO?

A professional employer organization (PEO) is a firm that provides a way for companies to outsource employee management tasks such as employee benefits, payroll responsibilities, workers’ compensation, recruiting, risk management and training, and development to small businesses to provide greater benefits packages to employees, minimize HR related roles, and keep the focus on what matters most – their business.

Misconceptions of a PEO

You may be hesitant to explore a PEO based on the “co-employment” concept and may assume that the PEO will take control over the business. This is completely false!

By partnering with a PEO, you will have an expert organization that can provide valuable resources and advice, allowing you to focus on your business, not your Human Resources headaches.
