Service bureau
A Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, is a service bureau that processes a company's payroll. A PEO is a licensed company that calculates employees' payroll checks. The PEO company takes full responsibility for preparing accurate payroll checks, remitting all payroll taxes to federal and state localities on a timely basis, preparing W-2's and 1099's, and furnishing the owner with detailed reports. This service relieves the business owner from these time consuming and non-profitable tasks. With a PEO working for your business you will never again have to deal with preparing paychecks, making tax deposits, garnishments, child support deductions, insurance deductions and paying bill, year end W-2's and 1099's, and delinquent taxes.
