What is PEO?

A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is defined as: “an organization that provides an integrated and cost-effective approach to the management and administration of the human resources and employer risk of small to medium size businesses by contractually assuming certain employer rights, responsibilities, and risk through the establishment and maintenance of a “Co-employer” relationship with the client and client’s worksite employees”.

Through its affiliated PEOs, DEM Solutions and DEM Concepts, DEM Group enables clients to cost-effectively outsource the management of human resources, employee benefits, payroll and workers’ compensation. This allows clients to focus on their core competencies to maintain and grow their bottom line.
