What is a PEO?
A PEO is an HR services provider that can bring your employees into a larger benefits and administrative employment group. It allows a business to remain the employer of record for its workforce while gaining access to employee benefits and HR expertise the business might not otherwise be able to afford.
Using this model, many businesses group together to gain the buying power normally associated with large corporations, and secure a complete portfolio of employee benefits and HR expertise for all of its members.
What a PEO is not:
- It is NOT a temporary staffing service
- It is NOT an employee leasing company or contract staff provider
