PEOs, or “professional employer organizations” may make sense for many companies. In particular, they can be great for companies hiring talent in multiple states/jurisdictions, taking care of payroll taxes, benefits negotiation and maintenance and other HR busy work. On the cons side, they can be more expensive and offer lower flexibility on benefit choices.Ultimately, the decision to go with a PEO is one of money vs time. Busy founders can save serious time avoiding HR busywork if they choose to work with the right PEO. And while PEOs do rightfully point out that they can reduce benefits costs due to their negotiating power, a startup would likely end up paying more overall for their payroll costs.As we’ve already mentioned, we think Justworks is a solid provider used by many clients.
