Responsibilities of a PEO & Their Client

SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY

When a business owner hires a PEO, they enter into a strategic alliance, basically a business partnership for the purpose of simplifying everyday administrative duties. The PEO doesn’t influence or get involved in anything else regarding the business. The owner is free to run his business anyway he wants or needs to in order to be successful. The sole responsibility of the PEO is to alleviate the extraneous duties associated with regulatory paperwork, including employment taxes, health benefits, workers’ compensation, medical forms, insurance claims, unemployment, etc.
