A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) provides outsourcing of work compensation human resources and administration of employee benefits. It does this by hiring employees from the client company’s, in turn becoming their employer of record. PEO’s will hire them back, under the contract agreements. This practice of hiring them on contract basis is known as co-employment, employee or staff leasing.
A Professional Employer Organization generally generates a part of its income through various methods of tax arbitrage and insurance. Through insurance products, a PEO will purchase employees’ compensation, employment practices liability and employee benefits insurance at a set price. The PEO later adds a markup to the premium costs and bills those new rates to the client company, which would still be lesser than what the company would pay on its own.
The value proposition to client companies is, By the use of a PEO the client saves time and staff that would be used to prepare payroll and admin purposes. Thus enabling the client company to offer a better overall package of benefits, and thus attract more and better skilled employees. Hence The PEO model is therefore an attractive offer to small and mid-sized businesses and associations.
Abuses of PEO:
PEO have been linked with various types ‘of misuse of laws framed to protect workers. In 1991 the Texas State Board of Insurance estimated that only forty of the over two hundred staff leasing firms operating in the state were genuine.
• Fraudulent staffs leasing firms are set up by people who charge client companies for insurance payments and employee taxes, but deviate the finances instead of remitting it to the taxing authorities.
• Workers compensation fraud takes place when high-risk companies with lots of pending claims transfer staff to new PEO with no history of claims.
• PEO have also been utilized to evade minimum participation rules for pension and health care plans, which states, a minimum percent of workers must participate for the plan to be offered. Employers who do not want to offer such plans to its least-paid employees outsource those employees to a PEO so they are not responsible. This leaves the remaining higher-paid employees with a qualifying level of participation.
• SUTA arbitrage, commonly called as "SUTA dumping," occurs when an employer with a high unemployment insurance rate "dumps" employees to purchased or sourced subsidiaries with lower unemployment insurance rates.

A Teaching Model for Motivation and Productivity
By: Donald N Lombardi | 13/12/2009C.A.R.E.S. is an acronym for a teaching model on motivation and productivity.

Cost Per Hire Versus Value Per Hire Which Is Most Important
By: Brad Remillard | 12/12/2009The cost of a bad hire rarely impacts an organization, however, the value of a great hire can often transform an organization. As executive recruiters, we hear about the “cost per hire” regularly. It seems like every time HR calls, this topic comes up. However, I would suggest that a far better discussion for HR to have is on the “value per hire.” Having this discussion not with recruiters, but with the CEO is a far more meaningful and beneficial discussion. It not only helps justify that HR co
When an “A” Candidate Isn’t an “A” Employee
By: Brad Remillard | 12/12/2009Has this ever happened? You screened hundreds of resumes, conducted extensive interviews, and found what you believed from the resume and interviews, the candidate that is perfect for the job. Exactly what you are looking for, maybe even better. You have high expectations for this new hire. Then they come on board and fall flat on their face. Within 3 – 6 months you are saying to yourself, “You’re NOT the person I hired” (a great title for a book).
Hope and Luck Are Not A Hiring Process
By: Brad Remillard | 12/12/2009Hiring is one of those processes in many companies that is often ignored, until it is needed. My partner Barry Deutsch and I have spoken to hundreds of CEOs and key executives in the last three years, and there is a theme that most of these CEOs and key executives agree upon, which is, they don’t really have an effective, repeatable hiring process with highly competent people throughout the hiring process.
Stop “Telling” in an interview instead ask “How”
By: Brad Remillard | 12/12/2009If you are in HR or executive search, how many times have you heard a hiring manager say when referring to a hire that is under performing and about to be let go, “I don’t know why they aren’t performing, I told them during the interview exactly what that job is. I can’t figure it out.” Most of you just thought to yourself, “Too many. More times than I can count.” or “Just about every time we had to let a person go before their probation period was over.”
