Every year, it seems to get more difficult for businesses to hire and retain the right employees. Gone are the days in which employees spent their entire careers dedicated to one organization. Today, top talent is much more selective about the companies at which they choose to work, and there are plenty of factors that weigh into their decisions. Between…

SIMPLY PUT, IT’S NOTHING LIKE WE’VE EVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE This has been a challenging time, to say the least. As many states and cities put forth plans to reopen for business and welcome their employees back to the workplace, we are beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel. While this is good news, it is imperative…

By Andrew Lubash When I initially started to write this article (on a completely different topic), the world was a very different place. Each time I proofed the article for submission, the world changed even again. One constant: PEOs are here for our clients and NAPEO is here for our members. A lot has gone on over the past few…

As I reviewed each destination, I kept mentioning that I must make plans with a NAPEO member for dinner. The friend jokingly asked, “Do you really have a NAPEO friend in every state?” Almost. I started…

When a business hires a PEO for payroll, the PEO becomes a co-employer and assumes the responsibility of managing the client’s payroll administration and employee taxes by using its own tax identification numbers, rather than the client’s. The PEO is generally responsible for payroll-related tasks, including paying wages, depositing employment taxes and issuing employee W-2s. PEO payroll helps administer payments…

This program provides the opportunity for businesses and individuals to plan and prepare a dinner for their residents and families who current receiving treatment from the local children’s hospital. We had nine volunteers from Prestige prepare a…

By Andrew Lubash Recession: It is a word we keep hearing. Is one coming? The so-called pundits cannot seem to agree. If a recession does occur, how can a PEO plan for what comes next? The first question is, what actions may businesses take when a recession occurs? Employers lay off employees. More will have to be done by fewer people.…

By Andrew Lubash Human resources and compliance are PEO core values. When I meet with a potential client, I first learn about why the business owner agreed to a meeting with a PEO. Not too long ago, the primary topic that drove the meeting was employee benefits. Today, human resources and compliance are equal drivers. The role of human resources…
