Frequently asked questions about PEOs.
PEOs are the most effective way for small and mid-sized companies that do not have dedicated HR departments to outsource employer services such as payroll, benefit plan administration and workers’ compensation. Your Highstreet agent can help you review your HR needs and recommend if a PEO is right for you. If you already have a PEO, your Highstreet agent can also help you evaluate if your current arrangement puts you in the best possible position.
The PEO, and your business or organization, form a co-employment relationship. This means that you both share certain employer responsibilities. The PEO is usually responsible for processing payroll, including managing payroll taxes. The PEO also typically maintains workers’ compensation coverage, administers your employee benefits and provides you with guidance on human resources issues. You still make your own decisions about hiring employees as well as layoffs and terminations. Your Highstreet agent can explain the details.
