Easeworks ASO Review
by Easeworks
Easeworks' ASO provides payroll processing and tax support, HR administration, compliance workflows, HR technology and a named HR partner to California employers without a co-employment relationship.
Best for
- California employers that want to stay the employer of record
- Companies with 50 to 200 employees outgrowing DIY HR
- Employers that want to keep their benefits and workers' comp policies
Not ideal for
- Employers outside California (the ASO pages are California-focused)
- Buyers who want a published rate card
- Employers that want benefits and workers' comp under co-employment (Easeworks sells a PEO for that)
