What is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a relationship in which you select a provider to be your dedicated HR management and benefits administration partner, and deliver a broad range of HR services through a “co-employment” model.
In a standard PEO, you retain the day-to-day control over how you manage your employees, and your provider handles the HR management and benefits administration, including:
- Critical HR services, including: payroll, benefits and workers’ compensation
- Access to health care
- Health Care Reform guidance
- Infrastructure for HR management
- Taking on and managing many common employer risks
- Training employees online and in classrooms
With Professional Employer Organization services you benefit from the “shared responsibility” model. When you establish a co-employment relationship, you’re also sharing certain risks and responsibilities with the provider. Shared responsibility means you’re not facing the threat and impact of changes to laws and regulations and other compliance requirements alone. For example, through OccuGuides, our risk and compliance experts keep on top of the thousands of annual changes to HR regulations, so you don’t have to. As a result, we can help you avoid common benefits administration and HR management issues.
