Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with a PEO — and with SuretyHR specifically.
- What is a PEO?
- Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) provide businesses of all sizes and industries different solutions for human resources, payroll, insurance, absence management, and more. They handle wages, taxes, legal compliance, and workers' compensation while offering employee benefits packages.
- How do I get a savings analysis from SuretyHR?
- Complete our online form to provide the necessary information, and we'll contact you to schedule a review with your management team. Alternatively, call us at (440) 348-9040.
- Will I lose control over hiring, firing, and controlling the work of my employees?
- No. Your company remains the worksite employer with full supervision authority. We take care of the administrative distractions so you can put your focus back where it matters.
- Will we be able to maintain our current benefits and preferred broker?
- Yes. Most insurers continue coverage with SuretyHR, and we don't require using our benefits offerings. We can work alongside your existing broker.
- How will working with SuretyHR affect a union contract or CBA?
- A PEO agreement should not affect existing union contracts or collective bargaining agreements — they remain valid and enforceable.
- Does my company need to keep a workers' compensation policy with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation?
- Yes. You retain your policy; payroll reporting depends on your agreement type with SuretyHR.
- Will SuretyHR take the place of an HR manager?
- Not necessarily. While we employ HR professionals, how you use them depends on your company's needs. Many clients keep their existing HR staff and lean on us for compliance, training, and specialist support.
- Are your fees based on a percentage of payroll?
- No. We charge per-employee administrative fees based on your specific needs, plus transparent workers' compensation premiums. No percentage-of-payroll surprises.
- Does SuretyHR's payroll service cover everything our current provider does?
- Yes — with superior customer service. You get a dedicated payroll processor who knows your account, along with comparable software capabilities and employee self-service access.
- I'm a client employee looking for my pay stub or W-2. How do I access it?
- Access them via the employee self-service portal. Contact your employer for login assistance, or reach out to SuretyHR directly.
- What industries are a good fit for a PEO?
- Construction, manufacturing, trucking and transportation, hospitality and restaurants, healthcare, professional services, and technology and startups all benefit significantly from PEO services.
