FAQ - Will the government accept a PEO as an "Employer of Record" for my business?
Back

The answer is: YES
PEO operates in all 50 States. Many states provide some form of specific licensing, registration, or regulation for PEO's.
The states statutorily recognize PEO's as the employer or co-employer of worksite employees for many purposes, including worker's compensation and state unemployment insurance taxes.
The IRS has accepted the right of a PEO to withhold and remit federal income and unemployment taxes for worksite employees.
