We are an independent referral partner. We match US manufacturers with roughly 50–150 employees to a professional employer organization, based on fit — and we are not a PEO ourselves, so we have no reason to recommend one that is wrong for you.
Independent manufacturers, typically single-site or few-site, where the owner, president or controller still signs off on benefits personally.
A professional employer organization co-employs your staff for administrative purposes. Payroll, benefits administration, workers’ compensation and HR compliance move onto the PEO’s infrastructure. You keep running your business and directing your people; the employment paperwork stops being your problem.
Because a PEO pools many employers together, a mid-sized manufacturer can access benefit and insurance programmes normally priced for much larger companies. PEOs report that clients see up to 50% savings in benefit and insurance costs. What you would actually see depends on your headcount, claims history and current arrangement — which is exactly what the call is for.
Thirty minutes on headcount, where your people sit, your comp experience and what your current benefits look like.
If a PEO is a sensible fit, we make the introduction. If it is not, we say so. We are paid by the PEO only when a referral actually becomes a client, so a bad match costs us more than it costs you.
Underwriting, scope and terms are discussed between you and the PEO. We do not quote pricing and we do not sit in the middle of your contract.
We are not a PEO, a broker of record, or an insurance agency. We do not quote rates, bind coverage, or hold your policies.
We also will not pretend every manufacturer should be on a PEO. If you already self-fund your health plan and you are happy with the result, a pooled programme is often a step backwards, and we will tell you that on the first call rather than the third.
