1. PEOs provide all types of human resources services including administering payroll and benefits and assuming/managing risk and compliance.

3. PEOs are responsible for paying wages and employment taxes and help improve businesses’ labor law compliance and provide access to Fortune 500 benefits.
4. The National Association of PEOs reports the average client is a small business with an average of 19 employees, and increasingly, larger businesses are joining PEOs. Clients range from accounting firms to high-tech companies to manufacturers to government agencies.
5. PEOs replace multiple agencies and contractors which aids in reducing costs and aggregation, while still retaining management oversight of the workforce/organization.
