Is Emplicity, as a PEO (Professional Employer Organization), recognized as an employer?
The Internal Revenue Service recognizes Emplicity as an employer for the purpose of federal income and unemployment taxes. Seventeen states provide some form of licensing, registration or regulation for PEOs; in addition, many states recognize PEOs as employers or co-employers of worksite employees for the purpose of workers’ compensation and state unemployment insurance taxes. Under our Administrative Services Organization (ASO) service model, Emplicity has NO employer relationship with your staff but continues to assist and support your employees as a third party administrator. The benefits may be similar to our PEO arrangement, though more control and flexibility is afforded to the Client.
