Industry Information
Professional Employer Organizations (PEO)
PEOs provide professional employer services, including leased workers, to client employers through a PEO/Employee Leasing Arrangement, usually for a fee. A professional employer service may also be referred to as an employee leasing company, labor contractor, or PEO.
Each PEO guide provides state-specific requirements related to:
- Policy issuance
- Data reporting
- Experience rating
- Endorsements
Information for some states is unavailable where existing laws and rules do not specify treatment of these arrangements.
Note: There are no NCCI manual rules related to PEOs for Hawaii and Massachusetts. For data reporting information for Hawaii and Massachusetts, refer to
- NCCI’s Policy and Proof of Coverage Reporting Guidebook for reporting requirements of PEO policies and the PEO Policy Type Codes
- NCCI’s Statistical Plan for Workers Compensation and Employers Liability Insurance for data reporting rules
