The US PEO industry generates approximately 220 billion dollars in gross revenue each year. Globally, the PEO and EOR market continues to grow, driven by remote work trends and increasing demand for international hiring.

The PEO handles all the administrative and compliance complexity. You keep full control of your business and your people.

A detailed CSA outlines the responsibilities of each party, including HR functions, pricing, co employment terms, and the process for adding or removing employees. Review termination terms and liability provisions carefully before signing.

Your team is onboarded as worksite employees under the PEO. The PEO processes payroll, manages benefits enrollment, and files payroll taxes under its own EIN, while your business continues operating as usual behind the scenes.

The PEO manages payroll processing, tax filings, workers compensation, benefits enrollment, compliance monitoring, and HR handbook development. This allows your team to focus on strategic priorities and business growth.

You decide who to hire and terminate. You set salaries, policies, and performance standards. You manage daily operations and company direction. The PEO serves as your administrative partner, not your employer.

Businesses that use PEO services reduce HR administrative costs by an average of 27.2 percent. For a company with 20 employees, this often means saving tens of thousands of dollars each year.

Gain access to group health insurance, 401 k, dental, and vision plans at rates typically available only to large corporations, even if you have as few as five employees.

PEO clients are 50 percent less likely to go out of business. With structured compliance support for ADA, FMLA, FLSA, ACA, and state regulations, you reduce the risk of costly violations and penalties.

ording to NAPEO data, businesses that use a PEO grow 7 to 9 percent faster and experience 10 to 14 percent lower employee turnover compared to similar businesses that do not use a PEO.

Business owners regain more than eight hours each week that would otherwise go toward HR administration. Over the course of a year, this adds up to more than 400 hours redirected to revenue generating work.

Hire in new states or countries without setting up a local legal entity. PEOs and EORs make geographic expansion faster, more cost effective, and lower risk for your business.

Automated payroll processing, W 2 and 1099 filing, multi state tax compliance, wage garnishments, and direct deposits, all managed and filed under the PEO’s EIN.

Access to group health, dental, vision, life insurance, FSA and HSA plans, EAP programs, and COBRA administration, offered at group rates that small businesses typically cannot secure on their own.

Compliance support for ADA, FMLA, FLSA, Title VII, ACA, and OSHA requirements, along with employee handbook development, HR investigations, and unemployment claim management.

Workers compensation coverage at rates often 10 to 25 percent lower than standalone policies, including claims management and structured return to work programs.

A centralized HR platform to manage employee records, time and attendance, performance reviews, along with access to a dedicated HR business partner for ongoing support.

Digital onboarding workflows that handle I 9 verification, W 4 forms, direct deposit setup, benefits enrollment, and policy acknowledgements in one streamlined process.

Access to group 401 k, SEP IRA, and SIMPLE IRA retirement plans with lower administrative costs and plan options typically available to large corporations, even for small teams.
