  • What is a PEO?

    Professional employer organizations (PEOs) provide human resource services for small businesses. They pay wages and taxes and often assist with compliance with state and federal rules and regulations. Also, many PEOs provide workers access to health, dental, 401(k) plans, life insurance plans, dependent care, and other benefits that small businesses may not provide. This enables clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of payroll, human resources, employee benefits, and workers' compensation. This allows PEO clients to focus on their core competencies to maintain and grow their bottom line. Get in touch with us at Payroll USA, Inc to work with one of the PEO payroll providers in the area.

  • How does a PEO arrangement work?

    When a company contracts with a PEO, the PEO will co-employ the client's worksite employees. In the arrangement among a PEO, a worksite employee and a client company exist in a co-employment relationship. This involves a contractual allocation and sharing of employer responsibilities between the PEO and the client pursuant to a client service agreement (CSA). The PEO typically remits wages and withholdings of the worksite employees and reports, collects, and deposits employment taxes with local, state, and federal authorities. The PEO also issues Form W-2 for the compensation paid by it under its EIN. The company retains responsibility for and manages product development and production, business operations, marketing, sales, and service. The PEO and the client will share certain responsibilities, as determined in the CSA. As a co-employer, the PEO will often provide a complete human resource and benefit package for worksite employees. Learn more about our payroll services by giving us a call today!

  • Why would a business use a PEO?

    Business owners want to focus their time and energy on the "business of their business" and not on the "business of employment." As businesses grow, most owners don't have the necessary human resource training, payroll and accounting skills, knowledge of regulatory compliance, or backgrounds in risk management, insurance, and employee benefit programs to meet the demands of being an employer. PEOs give small-group markets access to many benefits and employment amenities they would not have otherwise. By using our payroll services, you and your employees can feel peace of mind. According to ZoomShift, nearly 70% of small businesses say payroll taxes are a moderate to significant burden. Give them some peace of mind by hiring our team.

  • How do PEOs help their clients control costs and grow their bottom line?

    A PEO's economy of scale enables each client company to lower employment costs and increase the business's bottom line. The client can maintain a simple in-house HR infrastructure or none at all by relying on the PEO. The client also can reduce hiring overhead. The professionals at the PEO can provide critical assistance with employer compliance, which helps protect the client against liability. In many cases, the client can pay a small up-front cost for a significant technology and service infrastructure or platform provided by the PEO. In addition, the PEO provides time savings by handling routine and redundant tasks for its clients. This enables the business owner to focus on the company's core competency and grow its bottom line.

  • How do employees benefit from a PEO arrangement?

    Through a PEO, the employees of small businesses gain access to big-business employee benefits, such as 401(k) plans, health, dental, life, and other insurance plans, dependent care, and other benefits they might not typically receive as employees of a small company. When a company works with a PEO, job security is improved as the PEO implements efficiencies to lower employment costs. Job satisfaction and productivity increase when employees are provided with professional human resource services, enhanced benefits, training, employee manuals, safety services, and improved communications. As one of the most knowledgeable payroll companies, we can ensure you and your employees will get everything you need when you work with us.
