A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) provides small businesses with comprehensive human resource services, including payroll, tax filing, benefits administration, and compliance with federal and state regulations. PEOs also often give employees access to benefits typically out of reach for small businesses—such as 401(k) plans, health, dental, and life insurance. By partnering with a PEO, businesses can offload administrative tasks and focus on growth and performance.

Any business—from five to 1,000+ employees—can benefit from working with a PEO. Allied Employer Group’s PEO services are designed for companies looking to outsource HR responsibilities while still maintaining control over their core operations. With our web-based HR platform and team of experts, businesses gain efficiency, reduce risk, and gain access to resources usually reserved for larger corporations.

No. Allied PEO focuses solely on employment-related matters. Business owners maintain full control over daily operations. Responsibilities and liabilities are contractually shared per the client service agreement (CSA), which outlines that:

• The client remains responsible for workplace safety and operational compliance.

• Allied PEO typically handles payroll, employment taxes, and benefits administration, and may maintain employee records or hold a limited/general right to hire and fire based on the CSA.

By leveraging economies of scale, Allied PEO helps clients lower employment costs and improve financial performance. We provide:

• Expert guidance on compliance and risk management.

• Reduced administrative burden, freeing up time and internal resources.

• Tools to streamline HR, benefits, and payroll processes.

• Peace of mind through shared liability and structured co-employment models.

Ultimately, this enables clients to focus on their core business while we handle the backend complexity of workforce management.
