The concept of co-employment may be slightly confusing for business owners who are used to providing all of their employees’ benefits on their own. Essentially, co-employment is just a fancy way of saying that your business is going to team up with a PEO to provide better, more efficient services to your employees.
Using co-employment can be an excellent move for your business for several reasons:
- It provides a larger pool ofemployee benefits.
- It allows you to focus on your business instead of housekeeping matters.
- It helps you monitor your compliance with federal and state regulations.
- It can lower your costs on overhead and payroll.
When you decide to opt for co-employment, a Client Service Agreement is drawn up and signed by both you and the company with which you are partnering, and it will detail all of the specifics of the business relationship between the two. It is important to remember that the co-employment Client Service Agreement does not come into effect until it is signed, making it easy for you to shop around and find the best co-employment strategy for your business.
Reasons to Consider Co-Employment
Using NetPEO to find a co-employment scenario can offer your employees a pool of retirement and health care benefits that resembles those of larger companies, but there is also a wide array of other reasons to consider co-employment for your own sake.
- HR Experts: Instead of trying to handle all of the HR policies by yourself or hiring a small staff to deal with legal paperwork, co-employment allows you to outsource that work to a team of top HR professionals.
- Turnover: One of the big killers of small businesses is employee turnover. But by affording your employees with better benefits and smoother service through co-employment, you keep them happy and less likely to leave.
- Recruitment: A PEO in a co-employment relationship with you is very entwined with the success of your business. They often are able to help you recruit the best candidates for positions you need to fill.
