Going Green with PEO

“Instead of doing your own payroll in-house, consider a PEO (Professional Employer Organization) to take over the administrative and legal responsibilities of managing your employees. You are not selling your employees to someone else- you are just using their service to help your small business save money while offering your staff better benefits to boot! This means, no inside human resource personnel costs, reduced legal liability for your company and better benefits packages for your staff. Look to a professional employer organization to help you save money.”

HR outsourcing versus offshoring

A common misconception is that HR outsourcing will take over jobs and move the offshore.

A search for outsourcing leads to this article:

Totally different concept.  What we (HROplus) is talking about is lowering your overall labor costs by more efficiently handling non-revenue generating operations within a small business (payroll, workers compensation, risk management, benefits administration, labor law compliance) and saving client companies thousands in administrative and hard-dollar costs thanks to immediate economies of scale.
