How This Actually Works
What Is a PEO, Really?
"PEO" gets thrown around without anyone explaining it. Here's the straight version, no jargon.
A Professional Employer Organization enters a co-employment arrangement with your business: on paper, we share employer responsibilities so we can run payroll, file taxes, administer benefits, and carry workers' comp on your team's behalf. In practice, nothing changes about how you run your company - you still hire, fire, set pay, and manage your people day to day. We take the compliance and paperwork side off your desk.
What Stays Yours
- Hiring and firing decisions
- Pay rates and promotions
- Day-to-day management and culture
- Your company name, brand, and how you run the business
What We Take Off Your Plate
- Payroll processing and tax filings
- Benefits enrollment and carrier coordination
- Workers' comp coverage and claims support
- Labor law and HR compliance tracking
Only want payroll without the full PEO relationship? That's a standalone product too - see Payroll Services on its own.

Common Questions
PEO & HR Questions, Answered
What's the difference between this and just hiring a payroll company?
Standalone payroll runs your pay cycle and files your taxes - that's it. A PEO relationship adds HR support, benefits administration, workers' comp, and compliance tracking on top, under one co-employment agreement. If payroll is genuinely all you need, our standalone Payroll Services page is built for exactly that and costs less.
Who is legally my employees' employer under a PEO?
It's shared. Under co-employment, we become the employer of record for payroll, tax, and benefits purposes, while you remain the worksite employer who directs the day-to-day work. Both parties carry responsibility - that split is exactly what lets us handle compliance and coverage on your behalf.
Do I lose control over hiring, firing, or how I run my team?
No. You keep every operational decision - who you hire, who you let go, pay rates, promotions, culture. We stay in our lane: payroll, benefits, workers' comp, and HR compliance. Nothing about how you manage your people changes.
Can I start with just payroll or HR and add the full PEO later?
Yes. Essential and Professional plans cover payroll, tax filing, and HR support without the full PEO relationship. Complete Bundle is where the full PEO services, workers' comp, and dedicated account management kick in. Move up when it makes sense for your headcount.
Is there a minimum company size to work with VAB?
No. Our intake covers everything from 1-10 employees up to 100+, and pricing scales with your headcount rather than locking you into a size bracket you don't fit.
What happens if I want to leave the PEO relationship down the road?
You can. Our team works with you on the transition - moving payroll, benefits, and HR records to a new provider or back in-house - so you're not left scrambling mid-quarter.
