Professional employer organizations (PEOs) enable clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation. PEO clients focus on their core competencies to maintain and grow their bottom line.

Businesses today need help managing increasingly complex employee related matters such as health benefits, workers’ compensation claims, payroll, payroll tax compliance, and unemployment insurance claims. They contract with a PEO to assume these responsibilities and provide expertise in human resources management. This allows the PEO client to concentrate on the operational and revenue-producing side of its operations. A PEO provides integrated services to effectively manage critical human resource responsibilities and employer risks for clients. A PEO delivers these services by establishing and maintaining an employer relationship with the employees at the client’s work-site and by contractually assuming certain employer rights, responsibilities, and risk.

All PEO’s are NOT the same! In fact they are very different one from the other.  PEO’s have industry niches and service specialties that the general business world is completely unaware of specifically, in the areas of:

• Payroll efficiencies, software platform, reporting capabilities, and IT capabilities.
• Workers Compensation such as risk and safety management, premium discounts and experience modification management,  policy performance rating
• Health Insurance plans and limitations, Captive/master policies verses individual group plans.
• Human Resource support for training, consultation and direction.

Just like any other industry there are PEO’s that have certain limitations and a few that should be avoided all together.  StroudLink can help your business avoid those critical landmines and make sure you have exactly the service you need to move to the next level.

No. The PEO client/business owner retains ownership of the company and control over its operations, while the PEO will focus on employment-related issues, and the client will be responsible for the actual business operations.

​A PEO’s economy of scale enables each client company to lower employment costs and increase the business’s bottom line. The client can maintain a simple in-house HR infrastructure or none at all by relying on the PEO. The client also can reduce hiring overhead. The professionals at the PEO can provide critical assistance with employer compliance, which helps protect the client against liability. In many cases, the client can pay a small up-front cost for a significant technology and service infrastructure or platform provided by the PEO. In addition, the PEO provides time savings by handling routine and redundant tasks for its clients. This enables the business owner to focus on the company’s core competency and grow its bottom line.
