ALTERNATIVE WORKERS’ COMPENSATION INSURANCE – THROUGH PEOS
Professional Employer Organization (PEOs) have been around for over 30 years, but only recently has a cottage industry within the almost 1,000 PEOs began focusing on client acquisition by providing Workers Compensation solutions that are just not available otherwise. Many of these PEOs have the ability set their own rates and have the flexibility to structure individual Workers Compensation programs, with small and large deductibles as well as retroactive rating plans.
In general, PEOs are enabled to provide outsourcing management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation, all of which except for payroll (the delivery of payroll to the employees via checks or electronically) can be chosen a la carte. Some businesses are weary of PEOs, but they shouldn’t be as PEO’s offer enormous economies of scale and access to expertise in human resource management. By partnering with a PEO who can assume much of the responsibility of human resource management, the company can concentrate on its business. To learn more about PEO’s, please visit the National Association of PEO’s.
ToughComp has gained access to the majority of the PEO’s that source new business through promoting affordable Workers Compensation coverage. ToughComp is able to package company’s information and secure proposals for services from the PEOs that include the various services they offer along with Workers Compensation insurance. Ultimately, this alternative workers compensation insurance structure leads to lower worker’s compensation premiums, creates a pay as you go scenario so there are no year-end audits, and lowers the oppressive upfront cost of state funds.

Several PEO’s also focus on difficult to place Workers Compensation programs.
