Frequently Asked Questions For Employers
Straight answers about PEOs, Onyx, and how our automation works for growing organizations.
A PEO, or Professional Employer Organization, bundles payroll, HR, benefits, and workers’ compensation under one roof. For growing organizations, it can reduce total people costs, improve benefits, and offload compliance work that internal teams don’t have the capacity to manage.
Most brokers collect your data manually and send it to one or two providers. Onyx uses
proprietary quoting automation to standardize your information and push it to a curated set of high‑caliber PEOs. That means faster comparisons, better alignment to your profile, and fewer vendor calls
No. PEOs often deliver the strongest value as organizations reach a point where payroll, benefits, and compliance become increasingly complex and begin to outpace the capacity of a lean internal HR team.
No. We intentionally work with a smaller group of PEOs that meet our standards for
technology, service, and client retention. If a provider cannot support an established company
with higher salary bands, they do not make our list.
Once we have your data, most clients see their 3 PEO options within a few business days.
Onyx can perform a fast market check. We compare your current setup against alternatives
and show you where pricing, benefits, or technology could be improved. If your current PEO is a strong fit, we will confirm that.
Our quoting and benchmarking service has no direct cost to you. Onyx is compensated by the PEO you choose, similar to how a benefits broker is paid.
No. We keep intake simple and then handle the comparisons and negotiations. Your team
focuses on decisions, not data gathering and vendor follow up.
