Justworks is a payroll provider and PEO (professional employer organization) for small businesses. Through its PEO plans, Justworks becomes the co-employer of your team, which gives small companies access to large-group health insurance, workers’ compensation, and HR compliance support they couldn’t easily get on their own.
Justworks handles payroll, tax filing, benefits enrollment, onboarding, and PTO tracking, with 24/7 support included. Its PEO plans add benefits access and compliance help, while a separate payroll-only plan works for businesses that don’t want the PEO model. Unlike many competitors, Justworks publishes its pricing online.
Justworks is a strong fit for small teams that want better health benefits and help with compliance without hiring an HR department.
The PEO model is a trade-off. Co-employment means working within Justworks’ benefits plans and policies, and PEO pricing is charged per employee, so costs rise quickly as you hire. Many companies eventually move to a standalone payroll platform and their own benefits broker as they grow.
Justworks is headquartered in New York City, and for Long Island businesses, its PEO plans can make competitive health benefits realistic even for a team of just a few people.
