A PEO AS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE
BUYING A WORKERS COMP POLICY IS SMART, BUT SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE ANOTER OPTION BY PARTICIPATING IN A PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER’S ORGANIZATION. A PEO CAN PROVIDE:
1. WORKERS COMP COVERAGE WITH MONTHLY PAYMENTS
2. ALL OF YOUR PAYROLL SERVICES INCLUDING PAYROLL TAXES
3. SERVE AS YOUR HR DEPARTMENT
4. POSSIBLE ACCESS TO HEALTH INSURANCE
5. ALL OF THIS FOR A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF YOUR PAYROLL
6. SOME PEO’S ALLOW YOU TO SKIP SOME PAYROLL PERIODS IF YOU PAY A MINIMUM MANAGEMENT FEE.
