How can a PEO help minimize employer risk?
Employer risk can come from several areas such as on-the-job injuries, as well as employee lawsuits and fines levied for compliance violations. As co-employers, PEOs share much of this risk with the client. Alcott pro-actively manages employer risk by having our dedicated Risk Manager work in concert with our Human Resources staff to provide strategies and programs that are proven to minimize these risks. The program includes safety inspections and training, establishing and communicating lawful employment policies, providing Employment Practices Liability Insurance, and providing legal support or training when necessary.
