The Professional Employer

A Professional Employment Organization (PEO) offers comprehensive, all-encompassing administrative services through a relationship known as “Co-Employment“ (sometimes referred to as “Worker Leasing“). A PEO takes responsibility for virtually every aspect of staffing for your company. All legal responsibility for staffing (handling HR paperwork, tax paperwork, regulatory compliance, workers compensation matters) is handled by the PEO. Typically, a PEO contract means that all of these benefits are handled by the PEO, under the PEO’s FEIN; the client company is not involved with these matters. Basically, the PEO takes on all the challenges of administrative functions in addition to the responsibility for the correct implementation of these functions.

PEO’s cater to companies that prefer to focus solely on business operations without the distraction of administrative matters.
