Outsource Payroll Headaches, Save on Work Comp Insurance Rates and Access Great Benefits.

Arizona PEO Companies

What is an Arizona Professional Employer Organization?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) company takes the responsibilities of payroll, HR, risk management and more off the business owner's shoulders so they can focus on growing profits and expanding business opportunities. PEOs also offer smaller businesses the opportunity to attract more talented employees with access to employee benefits plans and other perks they may not otherwise be able to afford.

Arizona PEO Service Benefits

Professional employer organizations and many HR outsourcing providers offer Fortune 500 benefits with competitive rates that are accessible for big and small companies. Human resource professionals reduce many employment liabilities by providing assistance with safety and employee handbooks, along with proper hiring and employment procedures. Outsourcing through an Arizona PEO provider even manages tasks such as PTO tracking, wage garnishments, multi-state reporting and ACA compliance.

Some of the most common PEO benefits include:

Statistics on Using a PEO

According to a recent study by noted economist McBassi & Company:

Advantages of Using an Arizona PEO for Workers' Compensation

PEOs have many benefits, but one of the biggest lies in the master workers' compensation insurance policies for their clients. Most businesses experience immediate savings on rates, while avoiding down payments and state fees. Payroll services also provide an audit each period to ensure accuracy. Every Arizona PEO has specific workers' compensation classifications they can/ cannot cover mandated by their Workers' Compensation insurance policy or other carrier arrangements.

How Much Do Arizona PEO Services Cost?

Arizona PEO companies either charge a fixed percentage of your total payroll, or a flat fee per employee. All professional employment organizations charge different rates. Your rate charged will also depend on the amount and type of administrative services needed.

Arizona PEOs Save Your Business Money

Working with an Arizona PEO will also save your business money. Administrative costs when using a professional employer organization range between 2%-4% of your annual payroll. This amount is much less than the average 8%-15% ( evaluated by the Small Business Administrations) when managing similar tasks in-house.

Arizona PEO Relationship

The PEO becomes your "back office" partner, allowing you to outsource work that takes time and doesn't generate revenue. Also known as employee leasing, PEOs provide complete payroll administrative services, human resource and governmental compliance experts that lower your employment liabilities.

Working with an Arizona PEO also allows companies to use the PEO’s lower EM (experience modifier). This can be particularly beneficial to companies with prior claims issues and high experience modifiers.
