What is a PEO?
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is an outsourcing firm that provides services to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). These services may include human resource consulting, safety, and risk mitigation services, payroll processing, employer payroll tax filing, workers' compensation insurance, health benefits, employers' practice and liability insurance (EPLI), retirement plans (such as 401(k)), regulatory compliance assistance, workforce management technology, and training and development. PEOs enter contractual co-employment agreements with their clients, becoming the employer of record for tax purposes.

WHY YOU MAY WISH TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL EMPLOYER ORGANIZATION (PEO)
Sometimes companies have trouble meeting their human resources needs, especially while also trying to increase profits. To assist in this area, many companies hire professional employer organizations (PEOs). When engaging one of these organizations, the company and its employees become employees of the PEO. The company delegates many of its HR responsibilities to the PEO. Though the company still officially hires its employees, the PEO handles payroll, benefits administration, workers’ compensation, medical insurance, and retirement accounts. Then, the company pays the PEO for its services (often a percentage of total salaries), along with an amount to cover the payroll for the employees.
