PEO Alternative
The 19:21 Consultants PEO Alternative Program
A Different Approach
Small businesses often find that Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) model is set up to keep you dependent upon their processes. The 19:21 Consultants PEO Alternative program aims to set up internal scalable processes and grow with your company, even if that means shedding services in the future.
Pros of a PEO Model:
One-Stop-Shop
Provides benefits, HR, worker’s comp, and payroll all in one place, and having one platform for everything can reduce workload.
Affordable
Offers competitive health insurance rates for benefits and sometimes workers compensation.
HR
Provides on-demand HR assistance and can reduce employers’ liability.
Risk Management
Helps mitigate risk and/or supports the Loss Control Department for Workers’ Compensation.
Liability Shield
Can help protect from employment lawsuits.
Cons of a PEO Model:
Mid-tier Service
Most PEOs are good at everything but great at nothing.
High Administrative Fees
High fees for services offset the insurance savings for many companies.
Limited HR
Proactive and strategic HR consulting is limited in most PEOs.
Dependence
Most companies are dependent on the PEO’s systems rather than internal processes.
Security
Can provide a false sense of security and limited oversight can lead to costly errors.
Tech
Typically do not provide best-in-class technology.
