In or Out - just pick one already
At the heart of every business decision is exactly this question -- do we do it ourselves, or do we have someone else take care of it for us? Which is better? And the answer is: It depends.
Don't be stupid. Use a PEO Broker.
Finding the right Professional Employer Organization is a lot like building a house. There are over 700 PEOs to choose from. Some are great matches; most won’t be the right fit. How can you decide which PEO offers the services you need at the best price? You have two options: do it all yourself or work with a PEO broker who can set you up with the right PEO.
How a PEO can help you with Human Resources
Human Resources can make or break your company - in my opinion; HR sets the tone and culture of your company. Getting your product/service, business model, and HR right, in the beginning, are vital to your business’s survival. Over the years, I’ve seen companies that had incredible products/services be sidelined because their HR was reactive instead of proactive and I’ve seen businesses that were slow to start but had a solid HR infrastructure thrive.
How Small Business Owners Alleviate their Worries
A PEO streamlines your payroll, employee benefits, and workers’ compensation as well as HR administrative tasks. You gain access to Fortune 500 benefits, Pay As You Go Workers’ Compensation insurance, expert HR guidance, and payroll. The PEO reduces your cost, frees up your time to focus on your business, and helps you attract and retain the best talent.
Does your PEO charge a Percentage of Payroll for your Administration Fee?
PEO makes a lot of sense and we’ve helped numerous companies find the right one, but paying a Percentage of Payroll as your Administration Fee is always a bad idea. So if you are in a PEO that charges a Percentage of Payroll, it’s in your best interest to find out what you’re paying exactly and to have it fixed.
