Would you mind commenting on the quality of employee you are finding through PEO. Also, who establishes their rate of pay? <<<<<<<<Greg Walton
 
Hello Greg,
 
Here is how it works.  I run a help wanted add. I take apps. I do interview. I hire. New hire and I agree on rate of pay.
I send PEO Service info on new hire. I can choose to, or not to, ask for drug screening & or criminal history (I can do this too, it costs extra for them to do). 
 
I decide when to terminate an employee. The PEO Service help me terminate employees in a legal manor.
 
Good questions. Hope this helped....

Hello Group,
 
In May 2006 marked One full year with a Professional Employment Organization  (PEO/ Employee leasing).
 
Wow I wish I would have done it 8 years ago.
 
1. It has saved substantial $$$$.$$, & time.
 
2. Payroll headaches gone.
 
3. Dealing with the IRS on withholding issues gone. (boy could I tell you some stories about the IRS) Still dealing with IRS on problems from two years ago. One day I get a refund for $1200.00 the next week I get threatening letters from them to levy accounts. 
 
4. We have a 401k for employees that have been here for one year or more. The PEO pays for it I can choose to match or not. 
 
5. Helped with a legal employee hand book.
 
6. Peace of mind on Legal employment liabilities, & IRS withholding issues.
 
7. They handle Payroll processing, Direct deposit, child support, W-2 completion, Verify US citizenship, W-4 completion/ with holding and filling, FICA & federal tax calculation, and payment, state tax calculation & payment, Local tax payments, Federal unemployment Tax calculation & payment, State unemployment Tax calculation & payment, Garnishment Processing & payment, Quarterly reports FICA, Futa, and Suta, Handle IRS audits, Wage & hour Compliance, Workers comp, 940 & 941 tax fillings, check delivery,  Full flex cafeteria plan, drug testing & criminal history check.
 
After one full year I have to say I love to save $$$.$$. It is not just that. The PEO service has made it so we actually have time to get better at what we do best.
 
When I first herd about employee leasing I thought it was stupid. Why would I want to lease employees? Now I feel stupid for not understanding the concept.They have so many employees they have a lot of buy down power. I first heard about employee leasing here on the wc world net. It sounded like a Temporary Service. Not at all, we hire the people and then send them to the PEO service to fill out their paperwork. The PEO service then checks employment records gets copy of Social Security card and copy of drivers license. Then gives us feed back if they see some issues with employment.
 
At this point I would have to say,  If someone has not sat down and explained to you exactly what a PEO Service can do for you. It would be well worth your time to check into it. For me now, it is a no brainer.
 
If you have any questions I can give you the contact person for the PEO service we use privately they work in several states.
 
 
Also for those of you that are interested in a free window cleaning screen saver visit our site @ www.awardwindow.com you can find it there.
 
Good luck....  PEO is the way to go....  Just my $0.02 worth......
