Most hotels pay too much tax.

With rising operational costs, including staffing, maintenance, and guest services, maintaining profitability in the hotel industry is more challenging than ever.

You can’t control these costs, but you can lower your State Unemployment Tax (SUTA) and Workers’ Compensation premium by partnering with a PEO company.

Take the HR tasks you don’t want to do off your plate for less money than your current payroll provider.

Imagine reallocating the time and resources you currently spend on payroll, employment insurance, workers’ compensation and claims, and compliance woes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a Professional Employer Organization, and what does it do?
    • A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a company that provides human resources services to businesses through a co-employment model. The PEO becomes a co-employer of your employees, handling HR tasks such as payroll processing, benefits administration, regulatory compliance, and workers’ compensation. This partnership allows businesses to focus on their core operations while the PEO manages the complexities of HR.
  • What is the difference between a PEO and a staffing company?
    • A PEO and a staffing company serve different purposes.
    • A PEO company co-employs your staff and manages HR functions.
      A staffing company or agency provides temporary or permanent staff to fill specific roles within your organization.
    • Staffing companies recruit, hire, and place employees in your business, but do not handle broader HR functions or co-employ the workforce.
  • What is the difference between payroll and PEO?
    • A payroll service provider manages the calculation and distribution of employee paychecks, handles payroll taxes, and ensures compliance with payroll regulations.
    • Payroll services typically charge per payroll cycle based on the number of checks issued.
    • A PEO service provider offers more than just payroll, including benefits administration, compliance management, workers’ compensation, and comprehensive HR support, allowing businesses to focus on growth and operations.
  • What is the difference between HR and PEO?
    • HR is an internal function within a company that is responsible for recruiting, training, employee relations, benefits administration, compliance, and more. Managing an HR department requires significant resources and expertise.
    • PEOs are external partners that provide HR services through a co-employment model. PEOs manage HR tasks on behalf of the business, offering expertise, reducing administrative burdens, and enabling cost savings through economies of scale. While the business retains control over day-to-day operations, the PEO handles the complexities of HR administration.
  • What is the benefit of a PEO?
    • One of the primary benefits is cost savings, as a PEO can significantly reduce HR-related expenses. By handling payroll, benefits, and compliance, a PEO also saves valuable time, allowing business owners to focus on core operations. Risk mitigation is another key advantage; a PEO ensures adherence to labor laws and regulations, reducing potential liabilities. Businesses gain access to professional HR support and expertise, which can be crucial for managing complex employee issues.
    • As your business grows, a PEO’s services can scale accordingly, providing flexibility and support at every stage. Additionally, PEOs enhance talent management by offering better benefits, which helps attract and retain top employees.
  • What is Co-Employment?
    • Co-employment is a partnership where a PEO shares employer responsibilities with your company. The PEO manages HR tasks like payroll and benefits while you retain control over daily operations and employee management.
  • How Does a PEO Work?
    • PEOs work by becoming co-employers of your staff. They share workforce responsibilities like handling payroll, benefits administration, and compliance, freeing up time to focus on and grow your business.
    • The savings PEOs can obtain for you—from their scale and tax advantages — offset the partnership’s out-of-pocket costs.
  • What is an example of a PEO?
    • Fourth PEO is an example of a Professional Employer Organization. They help hotels by managing HR tasks, payroll, and benefits administration, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities.
