In defense of PEOs, we are a 30 year old agency that went to employee leasing 3 years ago and could not be happier with the result. Because we are small, our group health/dental benefit costs were eating us alive. By becoming a part of this much larger group, we were able to reduce our costs significatly and increase the level of benefits greatly. In addition all payroll is off premises, we have recruiting assistance, and a W.C. policy in our own name for which we pay the POE. Thre are good POEs out there that know how to operate correctly and legally and that can add greatly to your bottom line. Check out the firm, the owners, and if in doubt get verification from the carriers. Due dillgence os your responsibility.
