More and more small and mid-sized business owners are partnering with Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) and experiencing the many benefits. These benefits–like saving time and money–are available to you, too, and NetPEO will secure them by connecting you with a PEO that serves your business’s unique needs.
NetPEO’s brokers are well-equipped to assess your business situation and find a PEO partner who can provide you with competitive insurance options and take on other administrative duties as you see fit. The NetPEO team makes this process both painless and rewarding for you and your business.
What a Salt Lake City PEO Can Do for Your Business
Small business owners often find themselves bogged down with administrative duties, unable to dedicate the hours they want to grow and improve their businesses. They may also feel overwhelmed by Utah’s many small business regulations, knowing they can be fined, experience damage to their brand or reputation, or face other penalties for lack of compliance–even for an accidental oversight. Some business owners choose to outsource these administrative duties piecemeal or hire individual employees to carry them out. While these options may save time and keep businesses in compliance, they are rather expensive.
Partnering with a PEO is a way for business owners to first “bundle” and then outsource their administrative responsibilities and do it without breaking their budget. Services a PEO can provide include:
- Payroll processing
- Workers’ compensation management
- Compliance oversight
- Employer liability and risk management
- Employee hiring, onboarding, performance reviews, and terminations
How a PEO Partnership Works
You might wonder how a PEO can carry out these jobs. Payroll and other human resource duties require access to sensitive employee information. When you partner with a PEO, you enter a co-employment relationship, making the PEO a legal co-employer of your employees.
This legal status does not reduce your control over your business, though. You still make all business decisions, remain “the boss” of your employees, and you decide which administrative duties to assign the PEO.
How Salt Lake PEO Insurance Services Can Strengthen Your Business
When employers offer employees strong insurance packages, they see a ripple effect of positive effects on their business overall. The problem is many small business owners cannot afford to provide substantial benefits and lose employees to larger businesses that can.
The employees of any small businesses that partner with your chosen PEO are also employees of that PEO. This means the PEO has more employees than your small business and far more bargaining power to secure better insurance packages at a lower per-employee cost.
Insurance Benefits Rank High with Employees
The United States Chamber of Commerce reported a recent Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) survey. Of the survey respondents, 88% selected health insurance benefits as “very important” or “extremely important” to job compensation. Results show insurance holds higher priority than leave time, family care, transportation, and other benefits.
Honoring these employee rankings helps your business in a variety of ways:
- You attract more qualified employees with competitive benefits.
- Employees are more likely to stay with your business than look for opportunities offering better packages. Retaining experienced workers keeps your business running efficiently.
- Employees have access to health, dental, and vision care. This access keeps them healthier and on the job rather than missing days due to untreated illnesses or conditions.
- Your workers will feel valued, and that value translates into loyalty, enthusiasm, and greater productivity.
Qualified, dedicated workers are the backbone of successful small businesses, and by offering strong insurance benefits, you can bring those workers to your business.
