What Kind of Companies Use a PEO? Companies Like Yours.
Small and medium sized businesses across the USA are using StaffMarket to assess the benefit of hiring a Professional Employer Organization to improve their efficiency and enhance the benefits for their workforce. Every company is unique in their needs and the PEO industry offers a wide range of services to fit their demands.
Why Companies Join a PEO
Some companies are motivated by the significant cost or worker’s compensation insurance which is on the rise in many states. For these clients, PEOs can offer workers’ compensation insurance at a significant cost reduction, with the advantage of assisting in safety programs that help reduce experience mod rates. Others are seeking to ensure regulatory compliance for employment related obligations in hiring and employee management. Some companies main focus is outsourcing non-revenue related tasks (like payroll and employment taxes) to a third party, thus freeing their management staff to focus on business objectives like revenue growth and product quality. Finally many companies need access to quality health insurance and expanded employee benefit programs. Furthermore, the implementation of the PPACA with all of its regulatory reporting demands, fines and penalties and financial impacts creates even more need for companies to partner with a PEO.

They currently use Gusto for payroll and When I Work for clocking function. Here are some notes from the contact. " We are seeking a Professional Employer Organization partner to assist with recruiting qualified and compassionate caregivers, streamlining payroll processes, and ensuring compliance with New Mexico labor laws. Specifically, we need support in accessing specialized talent pools, managing onboarding, and maintaining compliance with state-mandated leave policies. Additionally, accurate tracking of caregiver hours, overtime, holiday pay, and other payroll complexities is critical to our operations, as is providing benefits administration and retention programs to attract and retain skilled staff.
