Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a PEO payroll service?
A PEO (Professional Employer Organization) payroll service is a comprehensive solution where the PEO becomes the employer of record for tax purposes. This allows the PEO to manage all aspects of payroll processing, including tax withholding, filings, direct deposit payroll, and W-2 processing, on behalf of your business. This co-employment relationship helps ensure payroll compliance and frees up your time.
How do I get a W-2 from an old job?
If you need a W-2 from a previous employer that used a PEO service like ours, your former employer is still legally required to provide it to you by January 31st. You should first contact their HR or payroll department directly. If you are unable to reach them, you can contact the IRS for assistance after the filing deadline has passed.
What do FUTA and SUTA mean?
FUTA stands for the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, and SUTA stands for the State Unemployment Tax Act. These are payroll taxes paid by employers to fund federal and state unemployment insurance programs. These programs provide temporary income to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. PEOs manage the calculation, collection, and remittance of these taxes as part of their payroll tax management services.
What is the difference between PEO vs payroll providers?
A standard payroll provider handles basic payroll processing, such as calculating paychecks and taxes. A PEO, however, enters into a co-employment agreement, taking on more administrative responsibility and legal liability. This means a PEO not only manages payroll but often bundles it with HR services, benefits administration, and risk management.

Where can I find a payroll compliance guide?
A reliable payroll compliance guide should cover federal, state, and local regulations, including wage and hour laws, tax withholding rules, and reporting requirements. Employer Brief provides expert guidance as part of our PEO services, ensuring our clients are always up-to-date with changing laws. Our integrated time and labor management systems also help maintain compliance with labor regulations.
