Handing off your human resources tasks to a Professional Employer Organization changes how you run your business. You get access to premium benefits, automated payroll, and expert HR guidance. But you probably want to know how the relationship actually works day to day.
Partnering with a PEO gives your people better health benefits than you might secure on your own. Hand over your workers’ compensation claims to risk specialists and transfer unemployment claims to experts. You keep your custom timekeeping system for payroll approvals, and gain access to custom reports and one-on-one HR advisement whenever you need it.
Employer of record
Nextep serves as your employer of record for liability and tax purposes. We take 100% of the liability, but you maintain 100% of the control over your worksite and your people. You direct your team. We manage the payroll taxes under our Employer ID.
Worksite control
You still enforce employment regulations inside your building. You do not have to figure those regulations out alone. Our HR experts provide direct guidance and resources specific to your company to keep you compliant.
New hire onboarding
Hiring someone new triggers a massive amount of paperwork. We manage the administrative work for you. You make the hire. We handle the multi-state reporting, EPLI coverage, garnishments, tax reporting, and W-2s. We keep all employee files securely stored online.
