Why buyers look beyond Justworks

  1. PEO fees grow with every hire

    At 10 employees, PEO Basic costs $790 a month and PEO Plus $1,240 before health premiums and workers' comp. Part-time employees cost the same per head as full-time staff.

  2. Workers' comp is required on the PEO

    PEO customers are enrolled in and charged for the Justworks workers' comp policy and cannot opt out, so a business with its own policy may pay twice. Premiums are a percentage of wages.

  3. Add-ons cost extra

    Time Tracking costs $8 per employee a month, dedicated HR consulting $30, and international contractors $39 each plus exchange-rate fees.

  4. Lighter service on the Payroll plan

    The Payroll plan lists a 24/7 help center, phone and chat, but not 24/7 support, HR consulting, EPLI or harassment prevention training. Those come with the PEO plans.

  5. PEO needs at least two employees

    Justworks PEO requires at least two full-time or part-time W-2 employees, so a one-person company can only use Justworks Payroll.
