Since most of the governmental compliance issues are the responsibility of the employer, you can imagine the importance PEOs place on the HR compliance issues. There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of laws on the books dealing with treatment of employees. Everything from the application process to retirement and death on the jobs is covered by various governmental restrictions.

The benefits of HR compliance outsourcing is that most PEOs (professional employer organizations) provide their clients with employee handbooks that will inform the employee of this relationship with both the PEO (professional employer organization) and the client company. In addition to the handbook, many PEOs offer in-house human resource specialists to help answer specific questions relating to your specific concerns or needs.

The list below contains only a few of the governmental acts and agencies you must follow to ensure HR compliance.
