Once a client company contracts with a PEO, the PEO will then co-employ the client’s worksite employees. The PEO and client company share and allocate responsibilities and liabilities. The PEO assumes much of the responsibility and liability for the business of employment, such as risk management, human resource management, and payroll and employee tax compliance. The client company retains responsibility for and manages product development and production, business operations, marketing, sales, and service.

Business owners want to focus their time and energy on the “business of their business” and not on the “business of employment.”  Clients of PEOs are provided with a complete human resource department including a benefits administrator, human resource manager, risk manager, labor law advisor and a payroll specialist which are all provided by the premium dollars your already spending.
