WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PAYROLL SERVICE PROVIDER AND A PEO?
When you work with a PEO, there is a shared responsibility and a layer of insulation to protect you, from a liability standpoint. Because PEOs report payroll and taxes under their federal and state IDs, there are additional checks and balances put into place. PEOs are responsible for preventing any errors in reporting and for issuing corrections, if needed. When you work with a Payroll Service Provider, you assume all liability and will be held responsible for any fines resulting from errors made during reporting.
