Who is the employer in a PEO?
When a business signs a co-employment agreement with a PEO, the two entities become co-employers of that client company’s employees. While this may seem strange at first glance, it is an arrangement that allows the PEO to provide much-needed services. In this arrangement, the client business owner often is known as the Executive and the PEO is known as the Employer of Record.
How does using PEO benefit your employees?
With a PEO, your employees can enjoy access to better plans for such benefits as:
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Life insurance
- Retirement savings
- Disability benefits
- Flex spending accounts
Are PEO employees leased employees?
Workers' compensation coverage is required for employees that are leased by their employer. An employee is generally leased when the employer recruits and hires its employees and contracts with the leasing firm (PEO) to handle the payroll, taxes and benefit packages. Leasing firms (PEOs) must be licensed by the New York State Department of Labor.
Can you join PEO?
Women over the age of 18 are eligible to be considered for P.E.O. membership. P.E.O. does not discriminate against any woman based on age, ethnicity, religion or education. Contact a P.E.O. member in your community to talk about membership. If you do not know someone, contact the P.E.O. Executive Office.
