What is a PEO?

Professional Employer Organizations (PEO) enter into a co-employer relationship with clients, which allows them to share and manage many employer-related liabilities and responsibilities. Clients outsource their human resources to the PEO and maintain control of their companies, while the PEO provides human resources services, employee benefits, payroll administration and workers' compensation.

What is co-employment?

Co-employment is the contractual arrangement between the client and the PEO that allows the PEO to provide a full range of services and to transfer or share many employer liabilities. Each party is responsible for certain employment obligations, and each party shares responsibility for other employment obligations. Workers become employees of two employers: the client retains supervision for production or delivery of service and the PEO assumes responsibility for human resources and personnel services.
