What is the difference between HR outsourcing and a PEO?

While both HR outsourcing companies and PEOs (professional employer organizations) help organizations hire and manage their employees, they have different functions.  

Mainly, an HRO serves as an external vendor, while a PEO operates through a co-employment model. Below are more details: 

  HR Outsourcing PEO
Function Third-party vendor  Co-employer 
Legal Liability Client Shares responsibility with the client
Services Provides the service as needed Controls the entire HR operations 
Payroll, taxes, and filings  Provider handles the service, but the client remains the employer Provider is the co-employer and administers the entire process
Benefits
  • Higher flexibility and customization 
  • Client keeps full control
  • Fewer risks, as PEO shares the liability
  • All-in-one HR function, no need to search for different providers
