The concept of a PEO relationship has been popular and working successfully for years. Business owners who try it find they can´t believe they went so long without it. Those who use Employer Solutions Group frequently recommend our services to other business owners.

Since the idea of a PEO may be new to you, here are the answers to some of the questions business owners typically ask while they´re growing comfortable with using Employer Solutions Group for their employee administration.


  1. What is the difference between a temporary staffing service and a PEO relationship?
  2. Why would my employees want a PEO as a co-employer?
  3. Do I maintain control of my business?
  4. How does a PEO relationship work?
  5. How do I know if a relationship with Employer Solutions Group is right for me and my business?
  6. Who is employed in a Co-Employent PEO Relationship?
 
  1. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TEMPORARY STAFFING SERVICE AND A PEO RELATIONSHIP?
  2. A temporary staffing service recruits employees and assigns them to your business to support or supplement your permanent workforce in special work situations, such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages, or seasonal workloads.

    A PEO like Employer Solutions Group assumes and manages your administrative responsibilities as an employer for all of your workforce. This relationship is long-term, with an industry average of nearly 90% of PEO clients and worksite employees remaining with the PEO for a year or longer.

  3. WHY WOULD MY EMPLOYEES WANT A PEO AS A CO-EMPLOYER?
  4. Your employees want financial security, quality insurance benefits, a safe working environment, and opportunities for retirement savings. As a small-business owner, you may not have the capacity to provide these benefits to your employees the way you would like.

    Employer Solutions Group can provide Fortune 500-quality employee benefits such as health, dental, vision and life insurance; retirement savings plans; and aggressive workplace risk management.

    Your employees´ job security is improved as our economy of scale enables you to lower employment costs. Productivity also improves when your workers are given administrative tools such as employee manuals, grievance procedures and improved employer/employee communications to help them better understand how your business operates, what your mission is and what´s required of them.

  5. DO I MAINTAIN CONTROL OF MY BUSINESS?
  6. Yes! As co-employers, you and Employer Solutions Group become partners in the employment of your workers. You manage the areas of your business other than employment, such as product development and production, marketing, sales and service, as well as managing your employees at the worksite. And since you spend less time dealing with administrative issues, you will find you have more control of your business than ever before.

  7. HOW DOES A PEO RELATIONSHIP WORK?
  8. An arrangement with Employer Solutions Group as your PEO is a close relationship between you as a business owner, Employer Solutions Group and your worksite employee. Both you and Employer Solutions Group have an employer relationship with the worker - you become a co-employer.

    • For you, Employer Solutions Group becomes a trusted advisor and partner on employee matters. We help to reduce liability and streamline the employee administration process.
    • For the employee, Employer Solutions Group provides a professional human resource department and assistance in using the employee benefit package that you select.

  11. WHO IS EMPLOYED IN A CO-EMPLOYENT PEO RELATIONSHIP?
  12. From our offices in Utah and Colorado, Employer Solutions Group serves approximately 12,000 worksite employees at more than 415 businesses. Nationally an estimated two to three million Americans currently benefit from a relationship with a PEO like Employer Solutions Group, and those numbers are growing steadily. These employees represent every facet of the workforce, from accountants to zookeepers. There is no stereotypical PEO client - services from PEOs like Employer Solutions Group appeal to companies of all sizes in industries such as manufacturing, hospitality, construction and technology. These companies also truly appreciate the PEO services. A survey conducted by the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) showed that PEOs retain approximately 90% of their clients from year to year.
