What is a PEO?

A PEO or Professional Employer Organization solves problems in the areas of human resources, risk management, employee benefits and payroll administration.

Through a PEO, the employees of small businesses gain access to Fortune 500-level benefits such as: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short and long term disability, access to a 401(k)plan and other benefits they might not typically receive as employees of a small company.

The value a PEO adds to a business owner is increased profitability, maximized productivity, reduced time spent on transactional HR, reduced liability and ultimately lower labor costs.

What is shared employment?

Under the PEO Platform, you, as the Client and EmPower HR enter into a shared employment agreement. Shared employment involves a contractual sharing of employer responsibilities. The visual below helps explain how this relationship works:
