What is an ASO?
Administrative Services Only (ASO) Solutions by Prime PEO Brokers
For businesses in Texas with solid back-office operations looking for focused help, our Texas ASO payroll services offer a flexible option. These services cost less than full-service PEOs and let you stay in control. But they also come with more responsibility and risk for you as the employer.
Prime PEO Brokers’ Texas ASO payroll services are like traditional PEO offerings in some ways. Through a service agreement, you can hand over tasks like automated payroll processing, payroll tax management services, workers’ comp calculations (often pay-as-you-go), benefit handling, and more. The key difference is in who holds the policies and risks. To elucidate:
- The State Unemployment ID remains yours.
- Your company retains its workers’ compensation policy.
- Health benefits policies are under your purview.
With this model, Prime PEO Brokers takes care of the admin work, but you keep the responsibility for each part. If you’re comfortable with that, you gain control over each service. That means you can switch providers for one service without changing everything else. You also get to set different coverage levels for each item.
But it’s important to know the risks. Any claims—like workers’ comp, state unemployment, or heavy use of health coverage—can raise your costs. A full PEO spreads risk across many companies. With ASO, you’re on your own. That means prices can rise faster without the shield of risk management PEO services.
Our Texas ASO payroll services help you stay in control and stay flexible while cutting costs. You choose what to keep and what to outsource.
