What is a PEO? PEO stands for "Professional Employer Organization". A PEO is a business entity that serves small businesses by providing HR Administration. Most small businesses don't have the budget to maintain a full time professional Human Resources team on their payroll. Fortunately difficult issues don't arise everyday. But with our litigious society and the complicated nature of employee administration, employers need help. So, by joining with other small businesses for the HR needs, they can essentially share this resource on an as-needed basis. What services are included in HR Outsourcing?
