As is the case with every other business transaction, you will want to do your due diligence when evaluating a prospective PEO partner. The stakes are high, so we suggest using the following set of guidelines in your research. These guidelines, along with common sense, will assist you in choosing wisely.

Guideline #1: Assess your specific human resource and risk management (workers’ compensation) needs.

Guideline #2: Select a firm capable of meeting your individual expectations. This includes an analysis of its health insurance products, payroll services, method of providing HR assistance and all workers’ compensation issues.

Guideline #3: Ask for client references.

Guideline #4: Ask which insurance companies the HR Outsourcing Company is using to underwrite its health insurance and workers’ compensation plans.

Guideline #5: Does the PEO work with attorneys who have substantial experience in ERISA and labor law as well as general business?

Guideline #6: How many years has the PEO been in business?

Guideline #7: Does your state require special licensing for compliance?

Guideline #8: How are employee benefits funded?

Guideline #9: Does the PEO employ professionals with appropriate designations and licenses for their areas of expertise?

Other Matters

In the HR Outsourcing arrangement, it’s our responsibility to pay your taxes and file your returns in a timely fashion. You will want to have some assurance that the partner you choose is able to do so. Some PEOs will send you a confirmation from an independent third party stating that taxes have been paid each quarter.

In order to effectively protect your number one business asset, your employees, your HR services company should have expertise in all areas of HR, not just payroll. For more information, contact us or request a proposal to discuss strategies about how to choose the right HR outsourcing company.
