Even if your business has less than a dozen staff members, you may spend much of your time processing payroll, tracking benefits, ensuring compliance, and handling turnover. While the size of your company may not warrant its own HR department, that’s not the only option for delegating these tasks. Work with a professional employer organization (PEO) to focus on your products while experts manage your employees. Here are a few reasons your business should use PEO services.

3 Advantages of Working With a PEO

1. Mitigate Risk

For a PEO to handle tasks, like payroll and benefits administration, they must assume the role of the employer on record. By doing so, they also assume a considerable amount of responsibility in the eyes of the law. In other words, if your company is ever sued for wrongful termination, the PEO will shoulder some portion of the liability.

2. Enhance Benefits

Partnering with a PEO will allow you to offer generous benefits packages without having to worry about the administrative burdens that come with them. Since they’re responsible for many employees, they have considerable negotiating power when securing rates for benefits, like health insurance. As a result, they’ll allow you to offer better benefits than you would without them.

3. Ensure Compliance 

Since the average small business owner isn’t typically well-versed in employment law, many of them hire a PEO. These experienced HR consultants will ensure your company complies with all federal and state regulations when hiring, training, and terminating employees.
