What is a PEO?

A Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, is a firm that specializes in managing all the responsibilities relating to employees. From HR, payroll, worker's compensation insurance and benefits, a PEO becomes the legal employer of the worksite employees and becomes the Administrative Employer.

Particularly in California, where governmental regulations weigh heavily on California small business owners, more companies are turning to California PEOs. A PEO legally hires a company's current employees, thereby making the PEO the "employer of record" for taxation and insurance purposes. The employees are then “leased” back to the client under a co-employment arrangement. The California PEO assumes responsibility for all payroll obligations and tax filings, worker's compensation insurance, health benefits, as well as all the associated administrative paperwork.

PEOs are a more cost-effective means to access health care and other benefits for their employees. By contracting out all responsibilities related to its human resources policies and state laws, the company using the California PEOs offsets a great amount of employment risk.

The small business need for human resources and HR Outsourcing makes PEOs a perfect solution for small businesses. In fact, most employee leasing companies and PEOs target companies that have fewer than 100 employees; the average client of a NAPEO member has 17 employees.

A PEO arrangement is often the only way a small business can offer benefits like health insurance, dental and vision care, life insurance, and retirement saving plans like 401(k)s, Section 125 cafeteria plans (flexible spending accounts for healthcare and childcare). Most small businesses could neither afford nor manage these benefits on their own.

And finally, most PEOs and employee leasing companies market themselves as strategic HR consultants. The PEO typically monitors employment laws and requires the cooperation of their clients with the adherence to employment laws and compliant policies and procedures.
