How A PEO Helps With Employee Leasing

Employee leasing is the original term for, what is now known as, a co-employment relationship. As your PEO Emplicity does not “lease” your employees because that would imply that they are no longer your own employees. Your employees are still yours, we just help your with the taxes, payroll, HR and workers’ compensation and for that reason the government recognizes us as a co-employer.
