Companies that hope to compete successfully for the best and brightest talent have found that they must offer their employees competitive compensation and benefit packages. Many PEOs have compensation experts on staff that can assist clients by monitoring industry standards for appropriate job-specific compensation levels and providing knowledgeable consultation and recommendations.
Companies with fewer employees often face a competitive disadvantage because their workers do not receive federal protections under the alphabet soup of government statutes: COBRA, ADA, and FMLA. However, when a PEO serves as “co-employer” for a client’s employees, those workers become part of a broader employee base and thus receive the protections afforded to employees of larger organizations.
