HOW DO PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER ORGANIZATIONS (PEO) WORK?

The PEO can provide administrative support to manage workforce processes — usually, with the cost effectiveness, and supporting your in-house team. There are various options when it comes to selecting a PEO. Bundling services as part of a comprehensive solution that match your business needs.

Many PEOs often specialize in specific industries and provide different service offerings by state or region but the fundamental components of the services provided is consistent.

When you’re getting ready to hire a PEO, it’s really important to check their accreditation. You can rest assured that we only work with organizations that have been certified by the National Association of Professional Employer Organization (NAPEO) and/or Employer Services Assurance Corporation (ESAC)

Partnering with a PEO, you retain control over your business decisions, including the hiring and firing of employees. Most partnered PEO companies are given more control over the daily company functions with compliance, taxes, HR, safety and risk being administered by the PEO.

Each PEO requires specific paperwork, a daunting and laborious task. By utilizing UGI, the paper work is completed once, and we begin our work, for your benefit, finding the best fitting PEO to fill your requirements.

Our partnered PEOs compensate us directly with no additional cost to your company.

When you work with a PEO, there is a shared responsibility and a layer of insulation to protect you, from a liability standpoint. Because PEOs report payroll and taxes under their federal and state IDs, there are additional checks and balances put into place. PEOs are responsible for preventing any errors in reporting and for issuing corrections, if needed. When you work with a Payroll Service Provider, you assume all liability and will be held responsible for any fines resulting from errors made during reporting.
