What is PEO/Employee Leasing?

Information may not be reliable

PEO Services and Employee Leasing Companies provide business owners with Human Resource Outsourcing, Payroll Service, Employment Administration and much more. It relies upon a Co-Employment relationship between your company and a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). The relationship enables outsourcing of Payroll, Human Resources, Employee Administration and the purchase of insurance such as Workers Compensation at group rates. A PEO/Employee Leasing Service does not forfeit control of your company over to another. It allows your company and the PEO to legally outsource these parts of your business and become eligible for group purchases of insurance coverage. The benefits of PEO/Employee Leasing for a small business are attractive because it saves time and money. Without a PEO, a small business can become buried in paperwork and fall short in providing employees with benefits.
