FAQs

PEO (Professional Employer Organization)

How will my employees benefit from a PEO plan?

As a smaller business, you’ll have the opportunity to provide access to big-business benefits, like 401(k) plans, health, dental, life insurance, and other advantages not typically offered to employees of a small company. Plus, job security is better because the PEO implements smart tactics to lower employment costs. Job satisfaction and productivity also increase when you implement professional human resource services, like enhanced benefits, training, employee manuals, safety services and improved communications.

What is a PEO?

A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) offers cost-effective, comprehensive human resource and human capital management services for small business clients. A PEO pays wages and taxes, handles benefits administration and typically assists with compliance for the many state and federal rules and regulations. On behalf of your business, the PEO offers employee benefits like 401(k) plans, health, dental and life insurance, dependent care, that many small businesses couldn’t afford to offer on their own. 

Partnering with a PEO makes good business sense.

Who can benefit from a PEO relationship?

Any company! As a business owner, you want and need to focus your time and energy on the “business of taking care of business” vs. the business of dealing with employment issues.” As your company grows, most owners don’t have the required payroll and accounting knowledge, human resource and human capital management know-how, regulatory compliance understanding, or experience in employee benefit and insurance programs, risk management, that meet the legal stresses of being an employer. 

PEOs give businesses access to many benefits and employment amenities they would not have otherwise. A PEO, like what ManagedPAY offers, provides comprehensive web-based HR technologies and expertise in HR management – benefitting businesses large and small. PEOs can join forces with companies of 500+ employees and work in unison with their current human resources department.  

PEO clients include a wide array of business and industries, including attorneys, financial services, accounting firms, property management, healthcare and doctors, show production, hospitality, construction, manufacturing, retailers, restaurants, trucking, mining, aviation, ranching, agriculture, high-tech companies, mechanics, engineers and more.

How does a PEO arrangement work?

When a client contracts with a PEO, like what ManagedPAY offers, the PEO provides comprehensive human resource services for the client’s worksite employees. This involves a contractual allocation and sharing of employer responsibilities between the PEO and the client, based on the client service agreement (CSA). A PEO usually remits wages and withholdings for the employees, then reports, collects and deposits employment taxes with local, state and federal authorities. The PEO often provides a comprehensive human resource and benefit package for the worksite employees. The PEO issues the W-2 forms for the compensation paid by the PEO under its FEIN, too.  This allows the client company to retain responsibility for and management of business operations, marketing, sales and service – the things they do best. It’s basically a shared plan of action that is spelled out by the CSA.

How does a PEO control costs and help a business grow?

Simple. It’s economy of scale and leveraging big-company benefits when the PEO acts as the employer of record. It’s also the perfect combination of utilizing ManagedPAY professionals combined with the sleek automation of our isolved technology platform.

Human Resource Management (HRM) & Human Capital Management (HCM)

What is the difference between Human Resource Management (HRM), Human Capital and Human Capital Management (HCM)?

“Human Resource Management (HRM)” focuses on essential administrative human resource functions, like employee benefit administration, running payroll, state and federal employment law compliance, on- and off- boarding employees and maintaining employee records 

“Human capital” refers to people you employ. It’s all about their unique knowledge, experience, personal values, networks and connections, as well as their physical and mental health – and what value they bring to your company. 

“Human Capital Management (HCM)” takes that philosophy a step further and transforms the traditional and more administrative functions of HR departments (e.g., recruiting, training, payroll, compensation and performance management) into chances to drive engagement, productivity and business value. It envisions your employees as valuable business assets. Basically, HCM encompasses all activities related to recruiting, hiring, developing, rewarding and managing people to bring out the best in everyone to help a business thrive. This includes everything from creating and then expertly communicating the mission, vision, and values to professional employee development and training programs. 

In a nutshell, consider HRM as the foundation and structure of human resource administration that empowers HCM to grow and prosper.
