PEO advisory for staffing companies
Staffing firms need a PEO that accepts high-volume temporary payroll and workers' comp across many client sites. Many PEOs decline them.
Questions to ask any PEO
- Do you accept staffing companies?
- How are workers' comp rates set across client sites?
- What's your weekly payroll capacity?
What matters in staffing companies
Acceptance
Workers' comp exposure leads many PEOs to decline staffing firms. Vensure runs a staffing alliance across all states plus Canada and Mexico.
Volume payroll
