A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a firm that provides payroll, benefits, HR administration, workers' compensation, and compliance support to small and mid-sized businesses through a co-employment relationship. You continue to run your business and manage your employees; the PEO handles employer-of-record functions on the HR and payroll side. It's a practical way for smaller employers to access benefits and HR infrastructure that normally require an internal team.

In Florida, PEOs operate as licensed Employee Leasing Companies regulated by the state. Through co-employment, the PEO becomes the administrative employer of record while you remain the worksite employer. You direct day-to-day work; the PEO handles payroll processing, payroll tax filings, workers' compensation, benefits administration, and HR compliance. Florida has one of the most mature PEO markets in the country, with many national and regional providers competing for local business.

PEO pricing varies based on employee count, industry, workers' comp classification, benefits selection, and whether fees are structured per-employee-per-month (PEPM) or as a percentage of payroll. Admin fees typically range from roughly $40–$160 per employee per month, but the bigger drivers of total cost are workers' comp placement and the benefits plan you select.
