You will not lose control when you partner with a PEO. Instead, you will be given the freedom to act as you wish. PEOs simply cut through the confusion and simplify the process. You can have as little or as much control over the elements of your business as you wish. If you don’t want to perform the unpleasant task of letting an employee go, you don’t have to, the PEO can handle it. If you don’t want to make decisions about employee retention programs, no problem. However, if you do, you can. Simply put, PEO’s simply make your business stronger, safer and simpler, and more efficient.
In conclusion, making the choice to partner with a PEO will most certainly not take control of your business out of your hands. Instead, it will do exactly the opposite. In fact, some have described a PEO as an HR easy-button, or human resource easy-button. In general, you can expect help with HR and payroll, benefits, and employment risk control when joining forces with a company like ours at Consolidated Personnel Services. As a business owner, you must consider the value of your time. Are you committing too many hours towards the tasks listed above? If so, what is that time pulling you away from? When you consider these aspects, it’s easy to see how partnering with a PEO can restore control to your hands as a business owner, not remove it.
