Professional Employer Organization (PEO):
By forming a co-employment relationship and becoming your HR partner, a PEO can reduce employee related expenses, increase profitability, and free up businesses to focus on their core competencies.
When you hire a PEO, your company will receive a wide variety of HR services including: A dedicated HR team with experts in various areas, HRIS software, payroll processing, employee benefits administration, recruiting services, worker’s compensation, risk/safety management, protection from employment-related lawsuits, unemployment claims management, training and development, and much more.
Due to the economies of scale generated through the Co-Employment relationship, PEOs can typically deliver a robust, fully integrated HR software and services solution while also providing unique, Fortune 500 style benefits otherwise unattainable for small and medium size businesses. This can make room for your organization to attract stronger talent, streamline processes, and reduce much of the administrative burden and liability associated with human resources.


Administrative Services Organization (ASO):
An ASO provides outsourced solutions to meet the administrative and Human Resources needs of the client.
Similar to a PEO, HR Specialists give businesses relief from the day-to-day burdens of employee management and administration through payroll and tax management, human resources support, risk and compliance consulting, employee benefits administration, corporate trainings, and more.
Unlike a PEO, the service provided through an ASO does not establish a co-employment relationship which means the client retains all employment-related risks and liabilities without the benefit of group purchasing power. The client is also required to keep many of their own client sponsored policies in place such as group health insurance and other employee benefits, workers compensation, EPLI, 401k plan, etc.

Payroll:
