A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) is a staffing company that specializes in the management of administrative and human resource functions for businesses, including:
- Human Resource Management
- Payroll Services
- Employee Benefits
- Workers’ Compensation
- Risk Management
Companies typically think of a PEO as a full-service, offsite human resource department. Your company recruits and hires employees. Your employees become “shared employees” or “co-employees” of your company and SWBC PEO. While you provide the day-to-day management of the shared employees, we take care of the ancillary HR functions and paperwork hassles.
