Frequently Asked Questions

 

   1.    I spend too much time on administrative paperwork. How can a PEO help with this?

PEO’s provide you with comprehensive services and benefits to give your business administrative relief. This gives business owners more time to focus on growing their businesses and generating more revenue.

    2.    Why would a business want to use a PEO? 

Most business owners start businesses to earn a profit but the daily management of administrative duties often distracts them and affects their bottom line.  As their business responsibilities grow, they may not have the resources for HR and payroll on top of production and customer relations. PEOs have an enormous amount of resources and access to benefit plans and programs the employer would otherwise not have access to. Through the use of a PEO, a business owner can concentrate on production and growing their business while having the peace of mind knowing that the PEO is taking care of the administrative piece of the business.

     3.    Does the business owner lose control of their business in a PEO relationship?

No, not at all. In fact, they’ll have better control over their business. The business owner or PEO client retains ownership of the company and it's daily operations. Generally, the PEO handles the employment aspects while the business owner manages the day-to-day business operations.

     4.    How do employees benefit from a PEO arrangement?

Employees want job security, financial security, good health insurance plans, a safe working environment and retirement savings. When a small business uses a PEO, these are all possible because the PEO implements techniques to save the business money. Studies have shown that job satisfaction and productivity are improved when employees are provided with professional human resource services. PEOs often provide employees with better employee benefits packages including a 401(k), life insurance, disability insurance, discount plans, a flexible spending plan and much more.

    5.    How will my employees feel about a PEO arrangement?

Your employees will appreciate the added benefits and programs available to them. Much of the partnership with the PEO will be transparent to the employees. You will still have total control over the company’s hiring, terminations and salary levels.

     6.    How can a PEO help me gain a competitive advantage in my industry?

Our belief is that by outsourcing the HR functions of your business to a PEO that specializes in those functions, you are able to give more attention to your customers and production. Having a PEO gives you the added value of highly skilled specialists to attend to those outsourced functions.
