Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PEO or Professional Employer Organization?
The term seems confusing at first, but the principle behind a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is actually very simple. A PEO is a company that is licensed to enter into a "co-employer relationship" with customer clients. This allows the PEO to share and manage many employer-related liabilities and responsibilities. Clients can then turn their human resources duties over to the PEO and know that they are being taken care of expertly while still maintaining complete operational control of their companies. The PEO provides human resources services, employee benefits, payroll administration and workers' compensation — complicated and important tasks that require a lot of attention and can create significant and expensive problems if performed improperly.
What is Co-Employment?
Co-employment is just another term for the relationship between a PEO and a customer company. The contractual arrangement between the customer client and the PEO allows the PEO to provide a range of services and to share some employer liabilities. The PEO and the customer client are responsible for certain employment obligations. Workers, technically, become employees of two employers, but the client retains supervision over all operational matters. Who is Access Employer Resources?
