What Is PEO?

A professional employment organisation or PEO is a business that acts as an Employer of Record and can offer additional benefits and services that businesses of all sizes can utilise and can provide all of the benefits to employees that a regular internal HR department does, but the workers are not directly hired by the firm they work for.
A professional employment organisation or PEO is a business that provides employment and benefit’s to a worker on a clients’ behalf and are responsible for making all statutory deductions under the Income Tax (Pay As You Earn) Regulations 2003 and for settling all outstanding liabilities with HMRC as the “employer of record”. The PEO charges the client for the service and not the worker.

An Alternative To Umbrella Employment

Flexible workforce models are ever more popular, with many end clients trying to minimise their employment costs by engaging contingent workforces.When IR35 reforms arrived in the Public Sector in 2017 and in the Private Sector in 2021, the complex payroll calculations necessary for any contractor found to be “inside IR35”, saw a boom in umbrella payroll services and they have largely taken over the pay-rolling of those contractors which were operating as a PSC on short-term contracts and were therefore less likely to be hired under direct employment by the end client.

Professional Employment Organisations (PEO’s) have also seen an uptick in enquiries, leading some umbrella companies to offer a dual employment model (between the umbrella and the agency)which has helped those businesses to circumvent the charging of VAT between the two parties.

Pendragon Employ PEO is a single employer service and therefore VAT is payable on all invoices.
