    Professional Employer Organizations are an increasingly popular way for small and medium sized businesses to manage their HR and payroll functions.  By outsourcing these administrative burdens, the staff is free to focus on their core competencies.  And, because PEOs service many companies, they can exercise their purchasing power to offer higher quality employee benefits while reducing insurance costs. Join host Dennis Zink and guests John Coleman and Brian Smith of Oasis, a Paychex company, as they discuss the benefits and costs of using a PEO.  If your business has employees or intends to have them in the future, you'll want to hear this important information.
