When Does it Make Sense to Use a PEO?

Host Amanda Brummitt talks with Bret Brummitt of Generous Benefits about Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs): what they are, how they work, and when they make sense for an employer. They cover PEO pitches like purchasing power and unemployment tax savings, variations in PEO services, master plan limitations, co‑employment liability, invoicing transparency, and common pitfalls. Bret offers practical guidance for evaluating PEOs — ask about scope of services, master plan eligibility, certified PEO status, fees and commissions, and whether the PEO’s structure actually delivers the promised savings for your specific business.
