FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS, NOT THE BUSINESS OF EMPLOYMENT Quite simply, a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a firm that can cost-effectively take care of all of your HR needs—from day-to-day administration to complex and difficult issues, leaving you the time and energy to focus on growing your business. With a PEO, you have a skilled team to ensure you’re complying with ever-changing regulations—including the Affordable Care Act. Your PEO provides workers’ compensation insurance, and is there to handle unemployment and other employee claims and issues such as discrimination, sexual harassment and wrongful termination. A PEO reduces your administrative burden, helps develop and retain your talent and takes on the liability of ensuring a sound business that meets state and federal employment laws. It does all of this through a structure called ‘co-employment.’ With co-employment, your PEO actually shares in the risks and responsibilities of being an employer, while saving you time and money. You are the “On-Site Employer” responsible for the culture of your company and for hiring and supervising employees. Your PEO is the “Administrative Employer,” responsible for paying wages, filing taxes, maintaining employee records, providing insurance and benefits, implementing safety and risk-reduction plans and resolving employee disputes. I believe the New York small-business ACA designation is a wakeup call that will force small businesses to consider PEOs. When they do, they’ll learn that they can offer Large Group medical plans. And that’s just to start. The benefits of working with a PEO are extraordinary. Just imagine a highly productive and happy staff. Freedom from HR paperwork. Lower risk of employment lawsuits. Confidence that your human capital is being fully utilized. That’s because PEOs become the ‘co-employer’ for the small business owner. What that doesn’t mean is that you lose control. You are just losing the back-office administration of having employees. A PEO pays the employees and taxes, protects the employer from liability, provides an HR consultant and can offer employees Fortune 500 benefits, and at lower rates than in the Small Group Market—because of our buying power. The benefits to working with a PEO go well beyond significant benefits—PEOs are proven to help small businesses succeed. According to the , companies who use one can grow 7 to 9 percent faster, enjoy 10 – 14 percent less turnover and are half as likely to go out of business as their peers.  I believe that the New York ACA mandate means the time has come for PEOs. For the savvy small business owner, this means that the time has come to dream big, worry less and focus on the business priorities they love most. there's no bureaucracy.
