  • Using a PEO could potentially save the time and staff used to prepare payroll and administer benefits plans and reduce legal liabilities or obligations to employees that it would otherwise have. The client company may also offer a better overall package of benefits and thus attract more skilled employees.
  • Through co-employment, the PEO becomes the employer of record (EOR) for tax purposes through filing payroll taxes under its own tax identification numbers. As the legal employer, the PEO is responsible for withholding proper taxes, paying unemployment insurance taxes, and providing workers’ compensation coverage.
