Use a PEO to avoid employer red tape and fines
Posted by Kristian Svindland on December 10th, 2009

Just got off the phone with a small business owner that is facing a $2,000 fine for non-compliance for some labor law paperwork they had no idea that they were responsible for.  Pretty hefty stuff for a 5 man company, right?

Just another reason that small businesses should consider HR outsourcing models like PEO.  Imagine having a staff of 50 employees, but no employer liability.  Not to mention the savings in a major medical health plan, workers comp and other benefits.

Where does my liability start and where does the PEO pick up?
Posted by Kristian Svindland on December 1st, 2009

With PEO – Professional Employer Organization, the owner/client is not liable for workers compensation nor unemployment claims.  In some instances, the PEO offers EPLI (employment practice liability insurance) to cover workplace torts such as sexual harassment suits or wrongful termination suits.
