Professional Employer Organization Licensing

Stay compliant to set a successful precedent for dealings with employees, clients, and competitors

Businesses that conduct human resources responsibilities and act as co-employers with their clients are often required to hold a professional employer organization (PEO) license. In some cases, these licenses are referred to as employee leasing company licenses. Although employee leasing companies provide slightly different services, most states use these license types interchangeably.

Professional employer organization licenses are required in 35 states. Entities should register with the secretary of state prior to applying for a license. Along with the application, entities are often required to meet a bonding requirement, provide proof of worker’s compensation insurance, and usually a financial statement. A dedicated compliance expert can help you keep track of varying jurisdiction requirements and updated laws.

Employee Leasing Company - Enter into leasing contracts with other businesses that require labor. The leasing company loans its workers to the lessee while still providing specified responsibilities, such as workers compensation insurance, to the employees.

Professional Employer Organization - PEOs take on the human resources role for businesses and act as a co-employer in the sense that the client company's workers are administratively employees of the PEO but functionally these employees are controlled by the client company. Unlike employee leasing companies, PEOs are contracted when an employer already has staff and does not want to handle human resources responsibilities.
