Whether you’re a large or small business, it can be a constant battle to keep up with administrative tasks on top of the day-to-day activities you already perform. You’re known for your products and services, not for the boilerplate items that go on behind the scenes. 

Still, in order to get quality results from your employees, they need to get paid on time, and they need a resource to go to when they have questions about benefits and health coverage. If you’re thinking, “It’d be nice if there were a way to outsource these ever-present crucial duties,” then you could benefit from a PEO partnership.

What is PEO? 

A PEO (professional employer organization) is a third-party entity that works alongside your business to handle payroll services, employee compliance, and other human resource duties based upon your unique needs. Essentially, employees can direct their HR questions to a PEO so that you can focus on the meat and potatoes of your business operations. 

Health benefits can also be administered by PEOs, and with the open enrollment period nearing, it’s smart to consider delegating these duties to an experienced employment firm like TAC. When your employees know that their employer cares for their well-being, they’re more likely to show up as the best versions of themselves. 

PEO benefit plans offer great coverage at competitive rates, and can be customized to include medical, dental, vision, and other supplemental products. Partnering with a PEO like TAC makes it far less risky and less expensive for small and medium sized businesses to manage benefit insurance. Often, these savings are passed down to your employees, who will enjoy competitive rates for health benefits. 

PEOs also offer multiple employer 401k plans that allow you to make key customizations to fit the needs of your company. Additionally, it shifts the administrative burden and fiduciary liability to the PEO.

the applied companies cost of low pay rates

How do the rates of pay you offer employees stack up with those paid by competing businesses? If you aren’t aware of what the going pay rates are, and the pay is low, it can hurt your business.

In addition, many businesses, especially small and midsize ones, may decide to offer somewhat low pay rates, feeling they want to achieve greater cash flow and profits before raising salaries. That’s not a good idea in the long run, either.s
