Outsource Payroll Issues, Lower Workers Comp Rates and Gain Access to Great Employee Benefits.

Utah PEO Companies

What is a Utah PEO Company?

A PEO service allows you to outsource employment administrative work for less than you can do on your own, giving you more time to focus on growing your Utah business. Administrative work such as payroll and tax filings, safe workplace, unemployment claims hearings and more can all be outsourced with the help of a professional employer organization. All of these essential tasks are vital to the success of your Utah business; having an expert team from a PEO can help ensure they are completed correctly and on time.

Benefits of a Utah PEO Service

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.

Some of the most common PEO benefits include:

Advantages of Using a Utah 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 insure accuracy. Every Utah PEO has specific workers' compensation classifications they can/ cannot cover mandated by their Workers' Compensation insurance policy or other carrier arrangements.

Other Utah PEO Workers' Compensation Benefits Include:

How Much Do Utah PEO Services Cost?

Utah 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.

Save Money by Using a Utah PEO

Working with a 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.

How Does the PEO Relationship Work?

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 a Utah 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.
