Responsibility map

Know exactly who carries what.

Co-employment does not hand over your business. It defines which employer responsibilities remain with you and which Easeworks administers under the client service agreement.

Client file / retained

You continue to control

  • Business strategy, products, and customers
  • Hiring, compensation, and workforce decisions
  • Day-to-day direction and supervision
  • Company culture and operating standards

Easeworks file / assigned

Why integration matters

The work gets lighter when payroll, benefits, risk, and HR stop behaving like separate files.

A PEO relationship is not just a longer service list. It is a different operating structure with one accountable partner coordinating the employer infrastructure.

Working scope

The employer infrastructure works as one system.

Instead of coordinating separate providers and disconnected HR tasks, your team gets one accountable operating relationship.

01

Payroll & tax

Reliable administration tied to the same employee records and operating process.

  • Payroll processing
  • Employment tax administration
  • Year-end support
02

Benefits

Enrollment and employee support coordinated with payroll and eligibility.

  • Plan access
  • Enrollment administration
  • Employee lifecycle support
03

HR & compliance

Experienced guidance before a people decision becomes an unmanaged file.

  • Employee relations
  • Policies and documentation
  • California and multi-state guidance
04

Workers’ compensation

Coverage administration paired with practical safety and claims support.

  • Policy administration
  • Claims coordination
  • Safety support

Operating sequence

From current state to a working PEO relationship.

  1. 01

    Collect

    Review payroll, benefits, workers’ compensation, and workforce details.

  2. 02

    Map

    Identify cost, administrative, and compliance gaps in the current setup.

  3. 03

    Compare

    Show the current employer cost structure beside the proposed PEO model.

  4. 04

    Transition

    Build a documented onboarding plan with clear ownership and timing.

Fit check

PEO fits when consolidation matters more than keeping separate vendors.

This file likely fits when

  • You want payroll, benefits, workers’ compensation, and HR support coordinated together
  • Your internal team is carrying too many employer-administration tasks
  • You want a named HR partner and defined escalation path
  • You are open to a co-employment relationship after reviewing the agreement

Use a different file when

You want administration without co-employment. Review ASO → You primarily need senior HR leadership and want to keep current vendors. Review HRO →

Before we begin

Questions that usually come up before the relationship starts.

01 Does a PEO take control of my company?

No. You continue to direct the business and employees. The client service agreement defines the employer responsibilities Easeworks administers and the responsibilities your company retains.

02 Do we have to change payroll providers?

Payroll is generally administered through the PEO relationship. The transition plan documents timing, employee data, tax setup, and the first payroll before cutover.

03 What is needed for a cost comparison?

We typically start with current payroll or census information, workers’ compensation details, and benefits information when applicable. We confirm the exact document list after the initial request.

04 How long does implementation take?

Timing depends on workforce complexity, benefits, workers’ compensation, and payroll calendars. Your proposal includes a realistic implementation schedule rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.

05 Can Easeworks support employees in multiple states?

Yes. Easeworks supports multi-state employers, with especially deep experience navigating California employment requirements.
