Einstein HR’s Professional Employer Organization (PEO) service is one of many that we have to offer clients in the Athens, GA area. When a business owner engages a PEO, this means that s/he is outsourcing the company’s human resources department. Business owners can employ a PEO for several reasons:
- Physical office space limits so there’slittle to no room for an HR department.
- Saving time by entrusting their HR services to Einstein HR, rather than trying to do sointernally.
- Save money by having one company handle all of their human resourceneeds, rather than hiring several different vendors to do the same thing.
Einstein HR has been proudly assisting companies in Athens, GA with HR-related needs for over 10 years, and we can help you, too. If you are interested in learning more about our PEO service, contact us today for a free quote.
How Can Using A PEO Benefit Your Athens, GA Company?
What’s nice about a PEO is that instead of enlisting separate vendors to run the minutia of a typical HR department, the PEO can handle everything all in one location. For example, with a PEO, you don’t need a separate vendor for payroll, another for benefits, and another for worker’s compensation. A PEO can take care of everything under one roof.
Some of the areas a PEO can manage for your business include:
- Payroll
- Benefits
- Worker’s compensation
- Training
- Recruiting
- Performance evaluations
- Planning
You do not have to turn all of your personnel-related tasks over to a PEO if you would feel more comfortable handling some of them yourself. A PEO will assist you only with the tasks that you delegate to it. However, we require that you select a few of the services we offer in order to qualify for a PEO plan.
Who Is Responsible For Your Employees?
A PEO can handle everything a normal HR department can handle: payroll, benefits, recruiting, training, worker’s compensation, and risk management, to name a few. For these concerns, an employee would turn to the PEO as his or her “Employer of Record.”
The physical location where an employee reports for work every day is his or her “Worksite Employer.” The Worksite Employer is responsible for the daily tasks that employees are expected to complete. The Worksite Employer also remains in charge of who to hire and who to fire.
In other words, you do not lose supervisory capabilities simply because you enlist a PEO to handle your HR department. While a PEO technically “hires” your employees on paper, you are still empowered to run your business however you see fit. The PEO is only their employer insofar as taxes and benefits are concerned.
What Is Co-Employment?
A PEO handles routine tasks so that you, the business owner, do not have to. This relationship of an Employer of Record and a Worksite Employer working together is referred to as “co-employment.”
In a co-employment arrangement, the Worksite Employer is in charge of the physical workforce and the daily operations and decisions that affect the business. The Employer of Record’s chief focus is ono personnel.
Do Larger Or Smaller Companies Benefit More?
Any company in any industry can benefit from employing a PEO, no matter whether the company is as small as five employees or as big as a corporation. Companies working in every sector from technology to health care can improve their daily operations by taking advantage of the services that a PEO has to offer.
Small business owners and startups may find a PEO service to be especially beneficial. This is because these folks may not have a lot of training or experience working with HR-related matters. Rather than their having to take a crash course on human resource issues that could take them away from their business for hours at a time, they can simply entrust those matters to an experienced organization and take several worries off of their plates at once.
