What is a PEO (Professional Employer Organization)?

At C2, we've been serving the employee management needs of hundreds of companies since 1996. We do this by providing a full range of services – from Organization development and change management consulting to recruiting, payroll, employee benefits and regulatory compliance. And do it all behind the scenes, seamlessly and transparently, as if we were a part of your own organization.

C2 offers two primary levels of service, which can be customized to meet your own needs:

How does the PEO arrangement work?

When an employer contracts with C2, we enter a co-employment relationship in which both C2 and our client act as employers. Under the contract, some traditional employer responsibilities and liabilities are assigned to either C2 or the client company, while others are shared.



C2 assumes responsibility and liability for the business of employment, such as risk management, human resource management, human resource compliance, recruitment, payroll, and tax compliance. At the same time, we establish an employment relationship with our clients' worksite employees, while providing comprehensive human resource services and employee benefits packages. Meanwhile, our clients retain full responsibility for directing the activities of employees and daily business operations, such as product development, production, marketing, sales and service.

Administrative Relief

The number of government regulations and employer-related obligations that business owners have to contend with is growing steadily. However, when you enter into a co-employment agreement with a PEO such as C2, you're able to transfer or share many employer liabilities and gain the control over your business that you've been seeking.

When you're freed from administrative issues and details, you gain the freedom and the time to focus on the business aspects that are important to you.
