PEO Learning Center
Everything you ever wanted to know about PEOs in one place.
What is a PEO?
A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) is a service provider that allows small and mid-size businesses to deliver big business HR, payroll and healthcare solutions to their employees.
Who are the best PEOs?
It's hard to honestly give a "Top 10" list as PEOs differ as much as their clients, and we strive to match you with a PEO best suited for your needs, not the industry's. We have created a "Top 10" list highlighting some of our favorites across the industries.
What does a PEO do?
A PEO provides small-medium businesses with Four Core Services: Payroll, Health insurance, Workers' compensation, HR guidance, and Administrative support.
Why Use a PEO?
PEOs pool together all of their client's employees, using that buying power to purchase Large Group Health insurance and Workers' Compensation insurance. PEOs also give you access to SHRM Certified HR guidance and overall reduce your liability as an employer.
