FAQs

What makes a good PEO?

A good PEO (professional employer organization) should have a strong track record of providing exceptional HR services, compliance support, and access to affordable benefits, as well as an ability to customize its solutions to meet the unique needs of its clients. Additionally, a high-quality PEO should have the ESAC accreditation, client retention above 90%, and the ability to provide direct access to senior executives when necessary.

What is a certified PEO?

A certified PEO is a PEO that has undergone a rigorous certification process with the IRS, demonstrating their compliance with tax, wage, and HR regulations. Certified PEOs are held to a higher standard of accountability, which can provide peace of mind for clients who want to ensure they are working with a reputable PEO that can meet the requirements of their specific industry.

Do seasonal workers earn overtime?

Yes, seasonal workers are eligible for overtime pay if they work more than 40 hours in a workweek, unless they are exempt under certain criteria such as agricultural workers. Employers should review federal and state regulations to ensure compliance based on their industry and other factors.

How does PEO vs client reporting work between states?

When it comes to reporting requirements, a PEO assumes responsibility for compliance and reporting in most states, while the client remains responsible for reporting in states where PEO reporting is not allowed or not recognized. Companies should make sure they understand where and what they will have to report, instead of solely relying on a PEO to handle everything.

How does performance management encourage employee development?

Performance management provides employees with regular feedback on their work and helps them identify areas for improvement. That can motivate employees to develop new skills and improve their performance. One of the benefits of that performance improvement is the opportunity for career growth and advancement within the company.
