The Professional Employer

  Many Professional Employment Organizations (PEOs) offer a form of HR outsourcing known as Worker Leasing. It’s a unique business service that takes over the employment relationship a business had with its workers. PEOs step in between the business and its workers, assuming control over most aspects of the employment relationship, and frees the business to focus more on supervising its operations.

--Providing an employee handbook to address specific employment concerns

--Producing paychecks from wage/hour data submitted by work site supervisor.

--Calculating and withholding voluntary and involuntary payroll deductions.

--Maintaining benefit plans and enrolling/terminating participants.

--Collecting and distributing tax payments to federal, state and local agencies.

--Processing and managing Worker’s Comp claims and return to work programs.
