Michael Ortoll of iPEO Solutions Reveals the Eight Key Questions Businesses
Must Ask When Choosing a Professional Employer Organization
SUMMARY:
More firms are considering Professional Employer Organizations—and for good
reason: iPEO Solutions (http://iPEOsolutions.com) says PEOs help companies
shift from time-consuming administrative tasks to revenue-producing activities,
thus lowering the level of pain endured to achieve success—but key questions
must be asked in choosing a PEO.
TEXT:
Tampa, FL—Professional Employer Organizations handle issues like Workers
Comp/Risk Management, Employee Benefits, HR and Payroll, so companies can
concentrate on what they do best: Create jobs and expand the economy. iPEO
Solutions (http://iPEOsolutions.com) makes sure firms know what to ask when
considering a PEO.
“Most people invest in the services of a PEO to thwart some level of pain,”
Michael Ortoll, founder and CEO of iPEO Solutions, candidly observes. “We can
deliver lower Workers Comp costs, including better service aimed at keeping
costs lower, as well as provide improved HR compliance and Payroll
Administration via higher-end technology and resources.”
That means iPEO can help deliver Fortune 500 type employee benefits at
affordable prices and advise on all viable coverage options, Ortoll explained.
“This is what we do and why they hire us,” he said.
In addition, iPEO can help manage implementation of the Affordable Health Care
Act and improve cash flow through “pay-as-you-go insurance and taxes,” thus
spreading out a company’s cash a bit.
These are just some of the reasons for PEO’s gain in popularity.
According to the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations
(NAPEO), “Since 2010, employment growth among PEO clients has been 9
percent higher than other small businesses (based on the Intuit Small Business
Employment Index), and 4 percent higher than employment growth in the U.S.
economy overall.”

fuel small business growth can be found at

Why are Professional Employer Organizations statistically more successful in
such challenging and uncertain economic times? Because PEOs tackle time-
consuming administrative tasks while allowing savvy business people to focus on
revenue-producing activities—thus reducing the level of pain endured to achieve
a higher degree of success.
“iPEO Solutions tailors PEO solutions producing the greatest value for its clients,”
says the company’s founder and CEO. “Outsourcing to a Professional Employer
Organization allows companies to leverage a PEO’s world-class technology and
personnel.”
Industries in which iPEO Solutions specializes include: Private Equity portfolio
firms, Associations, Franchises, Real Estate/Property Management, Healthcare
(Senior Housing), Construction, Hospitality and Transportation.
“In addition, we oversee the customized onboarding and enrollment services to
make the transition to a PEO a success,” Ortoll said.
Here are the key questions executives should ask themselves when considering
a PEO:
ONE: “Will I have to give up control over my company or employees?”
TWO: “What will my employees think of this arrangement?”
THREE: “Who is the employer in this arrangement?”
FOUR: “How often does the PEO process payroll?”
FIVE: “How are a PEO's payroll capabilities superior to utilizing a payroll
processing service?”
SIX: “Why would I want to engage a PEO if I already have someone handling
payroll and benefits?”
SEVEN: “Will I have to stop and deal with health insurance and benefit
questions?”
EIGHT: “What happens if I have an employment issue or concern?”
