Before we begin
Questions that usually come up before the relationship starts.
01 Does ASO create a co-employment relationship?
No. In the ASO model, your company remains the sole employer. Easeworks provides the administrative and advisory services defined in the agreement.
02 Can we keep our current benefits and workers’ compensation?
Yes. ASO can be designed around existing vendor relationships, with Easeworks supporting administration and coordination where included in scope.
03 Can ASO include payroll?
Yes. Payroll processing and tax support can be part of the ASO relationship and coordinated with HR administration and employee records.
04 How is ASO different from HRO?
ASO centers on administration and operating infrastructure. HRO centers on fractional HR leadership, employee relations, and strategic people operations. The scope can overlap, but the primary need is different.
Keep the authority. Add the infrastructure.
