If you’ve found yourself wondering what a PEO or Professional Employer Organization is, you are not alone. A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) company partners with small and mid-sized businesses to offer human resource management services.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

PEOs or “Employee Leasing” companies, as some may know them, offer various services to their clients or co-employers. PEOs offer complete payroll processing, risk management support, benefits and human resource management resulting in a complete HR solution.

The National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) defines co-employment as the contractual allocation and sharing of employer responsibilities between a PEO and its client.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb _builder_version=”3.19.11″ background_color=”#0c71c3″ border_style_all=”groove” box_shadow_style_image=”preset1″ box_shadow_horizontal_image=”4px” box_shadow_color_image=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” body_font=”Lato||on||||||” body_text_align=”left” body_font_size=”26px” header_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_level=”h3″ title=”PEOs partner with SMBs to provide HR, Payroll, Workers’ Compensation and benefits solutions.” header_text_align=”center” header_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” custom_margin=”30px||30px||true”][/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_text_color=”#0c71c3″ header_line_height=”1.4em” header_2_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#0c71c3″ header_2_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#0c71c3″ header_3_line_height=”1.4em” header_4_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#0c71c3″ header_4_line_height=”1.4em”]

What does a PEO do?

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Lato|700|||||||”]

Payroll:

PEOs process your payroll and manage the entire operation. So consider your automated deposits, one time payments, vacation and time off accrual. They manage it all. Not to mention the tax reporting and management process.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Lato|700|||||||”]

Benefits:

PEOs assist in providing small and mid-sized businesses access to benefits options they would not otherwise have access to. Such as benefits administration, access to various plan designs, and the claims process.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

They can also provide access to medical, dental and vision coverage. Some PEO’s or leasing companies even offer life and disability coverage and 401(k) plans to their client companies as well.

Risk Management & Compliance:

A PEO takes the burden of securing workers’ compensation coverage and places its client companies under their workers compensation classification code. As a result the client company can potentially reduce the their workers comp rates and overall premium costs. In addition, the risk department of a PEO also gives you access to risk management experts that review your companies safety procedures and recommend and assist in implementing safety measures to create a safe work environment for the employees.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

For many small and mid-sized businesses, securing workmen’s compensation is a challenge. Even using an insurance broker can come to no avail. Consequently, PEO’s have offered a solution to such problems in providing an alternative to finding workers compensation coverage.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”||||||||” header_4_font=”Lato|700|||||||” header_4_line_height=”1.6em”]

Human Resource Management (HRM):

Human resource consultants are provided by PEO’s to give their client company the tools to help manage and support the employees. From training and development to new hire packages and on-boarding processes and procedures. A PEO provides all of the support the client company would need to help in successfully on-boarding, training, and if necessary off-boarding of employees and everything in between.

How do you know which PEO is right for you?

So how do you know if a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) if right for your business needs? If you have a small or mid-sized business and are great at running your business and providing services to your client but find it challenging to manage the HR aspects of things, you may want to consider a PEO.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

Say you’re a small business and want to offer benefits to your employees but simply don’t have enough employees to participate. A PEO should be considered.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

From processing payroll, to managing HR and workers compensation issues, time is of the essence. A Professional Employer Organization provides the expertise to help business owners free up their time to focus on what matters most, growing their business!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

PEO Brokers assess the client companies needs and determine which PEOs would be suited to meet and exceed their needs at the best possible rates.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

Consulting a PEO Broker can reduce the time spend and headache that may result from having to learn a new industry, which companies provide what, how they are all priced and the sometimes tedious submission process for each. 

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19.11″ text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”2em”]

Using a PEO Broker can take the headache and frustration out of the process and save you money and time as a result.
