Professional Employer Organization (PEO)

Many small business owners are able to benefit from the services provided by a competent and knowledgeable PEO service. General Contractor Solutions handles many different types of companies, industries and sizes ranging from small one man operations to relatively large accounts. However, each and every business receives the same level of professionalism and individual support!

Partnering with a PEO offers several benefits, including access to HR expertise, cost-effective employee benefits packages, risk management support, assistance with compliance, administrative efficiency, scalability, and employee relations support. PEOs allow businesses to focus on core operations while relying on the PEO’s specialized HR services and support.

Here are some of the items a PEO provider is able to handle on your behalf:

* Payment of wages and compliance with the rules and regulations governing the reporting and payment of federal and state taxes on wages paid to employees including social security, Medicare and Federal income tax.

* State unemployment taxes and Workers Compensation

* Employment laws and regulations including federal, state, and local discrimination laws, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, ADA, FMLA, HIPAA, Equal Pay Act, and COBRA.

Some assume that PEOs are only for small businesses that lack the resources to handle their own HR functions. However, PEOs can be beneficial for companies of all sizes, including medium and large organizations. As companies grow, so do the complexities of their administrative and compliance needs. In many cases, companies find that the expertise required and the associated expense are better outsourced than kept in-house.

There is a lot of value associated with PEOs. According to research by the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), PEO clients save 21% on administration costs. Their HR and risk management support helps their clients maintain compliance and avoid penalties, while also reducing their risk of costly lawsuits. In addition, PEOs negotiate lower rates on benefits and insurance through economies of scale. Although there are costs associated with PEOs, they typically save their clients’ money in the long run.
