The Issue Of Control

A common question and of great concern among those considering PEO services is whether they continue to be making decisions that affect their companies business, or if such decisions may be hampered by the presence of the PEO as the employer of the record. In a PEO relationship, a PEO and the business owner share certain responsibilities in the employment of their workforce. The client is obviously the owner of the company and manages the day-to-day activities of the employees. The PEO assumes certain agreed upon responsibilities and liabilities. The bottom line for the weary is that the business owner is still in control of the business.
