Common Terms:

  • HRO – Human Resource Outsourcing means utilizing an outside human
    resource provider.
  • PEO – Professional Employer Organizations
    enable clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of
    human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation.
    PEO clients can focus on their core competencies to maintain and grow their
    bottom line.

Guidelines for Selecting a PEO

The National Association of Professional Employer Organizations offers
the following guidelines to companies considering a relationship with
a PEO:

  1. Assess your workplace to determine your human resource and risk management
    needs.
  2. Make sure the PEO is capable of meeting your goals. Meet the
    people who will be serving you.
  3. Ask for client and professional references.
  4. Check the firm’s financial background, and ask for banking and credit
    references. Ask the PEO to demonstrate that payroll taxes and insurance
    premiums have been paid.
  5. Check to see if the company is a member of NAPEO, the national trade
    association of the PEO industry.
  6. Investigate the company’s administrative and risk management service
    competence. What experience and depth does their internal staff have?
    Do any of the senior staff have professional training or designations?
  7. Understand how the employee benefits are funded. Is the PEO fully
    insured or partially self-funded? Who is the third-party administrator
    (TPA) or carrier? Is their TPA or carrier authorized to do business in
    your state?
  8. Understand how the employee benefits are tailored. Determine if they
    fit the needs of your employees.
  9. Review the service agreement carefully. Are the respective parties’
    responsibilities and liabilities clearly laid out? What guarantees are
    provided? What provisions permit you or the PEO to cancel the terms of
    the contract?
  10. Make sure the company you are considering meets all state requirements.
