PEO Clients

The average client of NAPEO members is a small business with an average of 19 employees. Increasingly, larger businesses are signing up, too. Clients range from accounting firms to high-tech companies to manufacturers to government agencies. Between 1980 and 2000, the number of labor laws and regulations grew by almost two thirds, says the federal Small Business Administration, which estimated owners of small or mid-sized business spent up to a quarter of their time on employment-related paperwork. PEOs assume much of this burdensome responsibility and help companies comply with all these regulations. These statistics are brought to you by NAPEO, the National Association of Professional Employers Organizations.
