Industry Outlook
American business is undergoing a fundamental change in human resource management, and the PEO industry is one response to market demands for change. The expertise required to manage the human resource elements of a small to mid sized business has outgrown the experience and training of many entrepreneurs who started these small businesses.
The PEO industry is demand driven as business owners seek solutions to the increasingly complex “business of employment.” Employee Leasing reflects the demands of a new business era, and a fundamental change in human resources.
All states recognize the PEO as the employer of worksite employees for purposes of providing workers’ compensation coverage.
PEOs provide worksite employees with coverage under the entire spectrum of employment laws and regulations, including ing federal, state, and local discrimination laws, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, ADA, FMLA, HIPAA, Equal Pay Act, and COBRA. In some cases, these laws would not apply to workers at small businesses without the PEO relationship, since many statutes have exemptions based upon the number of workers in a work force. Once included in the PEO’s workforce, the workers are protected by these laws.
