When your 5, 10, or even 20 life companies first came to you for insurance benefits, you were most likely their only means of HR support. As they grow, they need more and more support in the areas of payroll, employee relations, compliance, onboarding and termination processes, retirement and much more. As they research solutions, they may resort to one of the following choices: they can use an internal resource to act as an HR Manager, possibly even hiring a new employee to fill the role, or they can outsource administrative functions to a strategic partner, like Tandem HR.
Why are PEOs a more attractive option for your clients?

When comparing these two options, many businesses find they would benefit from vendor consolidation and increased buying power by outsourcing to a PEO. Additionally, they gain access to a full, professional HR department for a fraction of the cost. PEOs staff certified and dedicated experts to concentrate on the payroll, benefits administration, risk management, compliance, and employee relations.
By partnering with a PEO, your clients will gain a professional HR infrastructure. This allows them to compete with much larger companies for talent and potentially reduce their turnover by up to 14%. Through a PEO, clients will also acquire access to a full-service Employee Assistance Program, competitive group rates on workers compensation and unemployment taxes, a comprehensive retirement program, and will share employment liability with the PEO.
The list goes on and on, but right now you’re probably wondering…
PEOs have been around since the early 90’s. What is different now?

The Small Business Efficiency Act is a game changer. With the IRS recognizing and certifying PEOs, it is easier than ever for your clients to partner with a PEO. Laws are now written with this valued relationship in mind so that businesses can partner with a PEO at any time of year with no federal tax penalty, and they can take advantage of tax credits they were privy to outside of the PEO relationship. CPAs, and other professional consultants that work closely with your clients are learning more about PEOs, and champion them more and more every day.
And now for the BIG question…
How can I stop my clients from leaving me for a PEO?
