What is a PEO/Shared Employer?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is responsible for the "business of employment."

​

​

They pay wages and employment taxes, improve labor law compliance, provide access to benefits, and deliver all HR and people-related services for the client company. Small and medium sizes businesses look to a shared employer to save money, manage/eliminate employer risk and relieve the burden of employer responsibilities and liabilities while still remaining in control of their own people - hiring, terminations, determining compensation and managing the workplace.
