Working with a PEO should be a time- and money-saving experience—but too often, companies come to us frustrated with rising fees, lackluster service, and outdated platforms.
So how do you know when it’s time to move on from your current PEO?
At Prime PEO Brokers, I help businesses evaluate their current partnerships every day. And here are the red flags we look for.
1. Rising Costs Without Justification
If your admin fees or benefit premiums have been creeping up year after year, and you haven’t seen a clear increase in value, that’s a big red flag. Many PEOs rely on the assumption that clients won’t shop around.
Our Shop & Compare PEOs service helps you put your current deal under the microscope—and often saves clients 20–30% on total costs.
2. Poor Customer Support
Your HR partner should never feel absent. If it takes days to get payroll issues resolved, or you’re being bounced between reps with no consistency, you deserve better.
The right PEO gives you access to a dedicated team and timely, expert-level support.
3. Limited Benefits or Technology
If your current provider can’t support your team with modern HR tech, onboarding tools, or competitive health benefits, that directly impacts employee retention.
We work with PEOs that offer top-tier platforms and scalable benefit plans—especially critical for growing teams.
4. Business Changes
Have you expanded into multiple states? Changed your workforce structure? Shifted compensation models?
Your PEO needs to evolve with you. If they haven’t adapted to your new structure, it’s time to explore more flexible options.
Let Us Help You Transition
Switching providers doesn’t have to be a headache. With our help, you’ll have multiple qualified PEO options, side-by-side comparisons, and negotiation support to ensure a smooth and cost-effective switch.
