What is Co-Employment?

In a co-employment relationship, the client company continues to direct employees’ day-to-day duties and activities. Because the PEO takes on the majority of HR management chores, the client company is freed to focus on the production and delivery of its products and/or services.

At the same time, ADP TotalSource, as the PEO, contractually assumes certain rights, responsibilities, and risks. We are the “employer of record” on an employee’s W-2. As such we deliver and manage employee benefits, payroll processing and tax administration, workers’ compensation, state unemployment insurance, EEOC claims, and much more.
