Do out-of-state PEOs have to keep records physically in Washington State?
A. No. However, PEOs must provide a physical address in Washington where records will be made available for inspection. If neither the PEO nor the client company has a physical location in Washington state, include the following on the registration form: “The client company and PEO will make all requested records available within seven days at the office requested by the Employment Security Department.” Read the proposed rule (WAC 192-300-210(6)) for details. (Please also see Q31.) Note: The PEO may provide different locations for each client company. Q.
