 PEO with
"Carve-Outs"

Subject

Considerations for your company

Employer of Record Responsibilities

Employee taxes reported and deposited under the PEO’s FEIN.

Same as "Classic PEO" arrangement.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Coverage may be provided by policy in clients name. 

Coverage provided under PEOs master policy.

Same as "Classic PEO" arrangement.

Coverage provided under your own "stand-alone" policy.

If your company currently has an attractive Workers' Compensation insurance policy in place, some PEOs can "carve out" your coverage under their master policy and assist you with administering your own policy. In some cases a PEO may (due to coverage limitations of their master policy) assist you with obtaining your own "stand alone" policy.  Companies engaged in high risk occupations may present a challenge for a PEO and some PEOs cannot accept them. In any case a StaffMarket participating PEO should provide coverage alternatives.

Safety and Risk Management

Claims management provided by PEO.  Safety guidance provided by PEO.

Coverage provided under PEOs master policy.

Same as "Classic PEO" arrangement.

Coverage provided under your own "stand-alone" policy.

If the PEO is assisting you with obtaining your own policy, then the PEO will take on a more advisory capacity...any adverse claims experience will affect your experience rating and not theirs.

Health Plans

Coverage may be provided by policy in clients name.

Coverage provided under PEOs master policy.

Same as "Classic PEO" arrangement.

Coverage provided under your own "stand-alone" policy.

If your company currently has an attractive Health Plan in place, some PEOs can "carve out" your coverage under their master policy and assist you with administering your plan. PEOs can assist you with obtaining your own "stand alone" health plan if they cannot offer coverage under a master policy. 

Employee Benefits

Supplemental benefits may be offered under PEOs master policy. 401K provided by policy in clients name.
