A PEO is a Professional Employer Organization; a single source provider of integrated services which enable business owners to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation, and other strategic services, such as, recruiting, risk/safety management, and training and development through co-employment. It does this by hiring a client company’s employees, thus becoming their employer of record for tax purposes and insurance purposes.
An ASO is an Administrative Services Organization provides business transaction-based human resources services such as support with payroll, benefits, and employee data management. An ASO solution differs from a Professional Employer (PEO) model because there is no co-employment – the employment relationship is maintained by the client.
HRO is Human Resource Outsourcing in an HRO model, the solution focuses on managing the entire HR business process, unlike the Administrative Service (ASO) model which focuses on the transaction. An Employee Call Center is inherent to the solutions within an HRO offering. An HRO solution differs from a Professional Employer (PEO) model because there is no co-employment – the employment relationship is maintained by the client.
A PEO offers a complete suite of services and solutions; through our strategic partnerships we have established relationships with the industry leaders in their respective markets. We offer solutions’ in the following areas:
In the relationship among a PEO, the employee, and a client company, there exists a co-employment relationship in which both the PEO and client company share an employment relationship with the worker. The PEO and client company contractually allocate some and share other traditional employer responsibilities and liabilities. The PEO assumes responsibility and liability for the business of employment such as risk management, personnel management, human resource compliance, and payroll employee tax compliance. The client company manages product development and production, marketing, sales, and service. The PEO assumes and establishes an employment relationship with the employee and provides a complete human resource and employee benefit package.
Historically, the average client customer of a PEO was a small business. Increasingly, larger businesses with employees in the 5 to 500+ range are finding value in a PEO arrangement, by avoiding the investment in new or additional human resource personnel and maintenance of costly infrastructures. These companies include every single type of business from accountants to zookeepers and every profession in between including doctors, retailers, mechanics and more.
As businesses grow, most business owners don’t have the necessary human resource training; payroll and accounting skills; knowledge of regulatory compliance; or backgrounds in risk management, insurance and employee benefit programs to meet the demands of being an employer. Business owners want to focus their time and energy on the business of their business and not on the business of employment. Most do not have the desire to invest and maintain non-core infrastructure associated with human resources, benefits, payroll and the associated software systems. More and more, these functions are outsourced to professionals and organizations where these tasks are fundamental to the business. PEO’s facilitate this process by assuming and providing support for all aspects associated with employment management.
An estimated 4 million Americans are currently co-employed in a PEO arrangement. PEOs are operating in every state, and the industry has historically grown between 20-30% per year. Future growth projections for the industry is anticipated to be in the 35% range for 2002. Today, there are approximately 900 PEO companies who are responsible for over $24 billion in employee wages and related human resource and employee benefits.
This is the most common question we get. The client retains ownership of the company. As co-employers, the PEO and business owner become partners in the employment of their workers. The PEO assumes most responsibilities and liabilities associated with a general employer. The client usually retains those rights and responsibilities associated with special employers. The PEO assumes a real and factual employer role. PEOs are responsible for payroll and employment taxes, maintaining employee records, in consultation with the client reserve the ultimate right to hire and fire, and have the authority to resolve employee disputes. By shifting these responsibilities to the PEO, the client gains command of the core revenue generating aspects of their business.

If you don’t want your payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance support centralized in one place, it might not be the right fit for you. However, most small business owners find a high level of convenience in consolidating certain HR functions so they can focus on the real work of running their business.

I have been working with Alex and Jonathan from Millennium Medical Solutions for ten plus years. These guys are great. I highly recommend them. They are extremely knowledgeable and extremely responsive. I manage a medical practice in NYC and they have helped me with everything for my employees, from medical insurance, dental/vision, commuter benefits, life insurance, disability, supplemental. You name it! And they get the best deal possible. They value long term customers and your business over time by getting you the best value possible, rather than trying “to bang you over the head” so to speak, to make a quick buck all at once, like I have seen with other brokers. That makes a big difference to me! I know that they are always just a phone call or an email away and they are on my side, and they are going to go out of their way to help me if needed. I highly recommend them!
I have used Millennium Medical Solutions for over 10 years now, and I find both Alex and Jonathan to be excellent in their understanding of the very complicated and sometimes overwhelming insurance industry. They are extremely professional and helpful in choosing a carrier and explaining the many options available to get just the right fit. They are prompt in their response time, personable and very up to date on the ever changing industry. I would highly recommend using Millennium Medical Solutions!
I had a wonderful experience working with Millennium Medical Solutions to change PEO companies. Alex Miller was an active and aggressive advocate for us, and consistently went a step above and beyond. I always felt that my company was Alex’s top priority and it was a true pleasure working with him.
Millennium Solutions has managed my company’s health insurance needs for more years than I can count. Alex and Jonathon are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to their clients. The word “Solutions” in their name is absolutely accurate. No matter the problem, they always seem able to find the solution. Simply amazing!
