No. It is important to note that every PEO is a little different. Scale HRO’s PEO is responsible for processing your employees payroll, withholding and paying payroll taxes, maintaining workers’ compensation coverage, providing employee benefit and career development programs, providing human resources guidance, and providing worksite safety guidance. However, you continue to operate your business as you did prior to the PEO relationship. You do not lose any of your management or supervisory rights.

In fact, because PEOs help you manage HR and minimize risk, you actually have greater control of your business because you can focus on your priorities—and not HR.

No. In fact, with Scale HRO PEO, we learn your challenges and aspirations, and recommend strategies to help you achieve your goals. You are able to leverage the best of both worlds: the flexibility and control of owning your own business, and the benefits and expertise of a large organization.

A PEO gives your business a risk partner that shares certain employment risks. As a vested partner, Scale HRO tasks our risk and compliance experts to keep up with ongoing changes to HR and safety regulations. We can help you react and comply with the changes that affect your business.

A PEO will also help you comply with other complex employer requirements.

No. The relationship between you and the PEO is distinct from the PEO’s relationship with other companies. No contractual relationship is ever created between all of the PEO clients. You are not responsible for any employees other than your own.

In a co-employment relationship, you share certain employer responsibilities with the PEO that cannot be achieved through typical HR outsourcing. For instance, with Scale HRO’s PEO you gain access to robust benefits offerings and employee perks typically only provided by large organizations, and you may get additional protection for your business should you face an employee lawsuit.

o. While the co-employment model is a part of every PEO, there are a few key ways in which providers differ from one another:

• Flexibility: Some PEO providers offer a one-size-fits-all PEO, where others scale to your unique needs.
• Partnership: With some PEOs, you get choices but are still left with the heavy lifting of making tough decisions on your own. With others, like ADP, your dedicated specialists are by your side to help you figure out what’s best for your business, your employees and your bottom line. You’ll want to consider the level of partnership and guidance you need when evaluating your options.
• Dependability: Since the PEO helps manage critical aspects of running your company, you’ll want to consider the provider’s financial stability and track-record.
• Location: Some PEO providers work nation-wide, while others are limited to a state or region. Even if you plan to stay local, you’ll want to consider which provides the most opportunities for your business.
• Services: Different PEO offer different ranges of service. Because all PEOs are not created equal, you’ll want to clearly understand the scope of each PEO you’re evaluating to ensure you’re getting the full value.
