What do Professional Employer Organizations Do?
Professional Employer Organization (PEOs) such as the Avitus Group, work with companies to handle all the arrangements and processes involved in managing people.

What are some of the services that they provide?
Payroll Services
One of the key advantages of outsourcing employment duties is the hours of work that are removed from your workers on a regular basis. For example, think of the time that must be invested into ensuring accurate payroll every single month.
Whether regular payroll, single-time payments, remote workers, or local salaries. PEOs will manage all of this on your behalf and save your business hours of valuable time.
Benefits
You may offer your staff a range of benefits depending on their level, time with your company, and other variables. As companies grow the administration of these benefits can become more and more complex.
A crucial advantage of handing over employment management to an outside company is that they will care for this in an equal and fair manner. They will ensure that each person received their benefits on time and without any cause for complaint.
Ensure Compliance
Caring for employees in a growing company is a challenge. However, changing employment laws means it grows in complexity each year. Add to this the level of care that you must take to ensure that personal data is handled correctly and the task becomes larger and larger.
PEOs will care for all of this on your behalf and ensure that your business is compliant with all state and national laws in this respect.
This could be in relation to:
- Employment practices and policies
- Workers comp
- Liability insurance
- Tax payments and related forms
A PEO will care for all of this ensuring that your reputation as a company that meets state and employee needs will be protected.
