How does a PEO Relationship Work?

When you partner with a PEO, a co-employment relationship is created. The PEO assumes responsibility and liability for the employee administration functions of payroll, benefits, human resources and risk management.  The PEO consults with you on employee matters such as employee relations, employer compliance regulations, employee development, organizational development and other issues related to your workforce.  Your company still maintains control over all other employment aspects, including hiring, setting wages, and employee supervision.
