ASO Services

We take care of your employees... you take care of your business.

What is an ASO?

The term ASO (Administrative Services Organization) was established by the PEO industry in the late 1990’s.  The purpose of an ASO is to distinguish between selective administrative support and full PEO services.  The main difference between the PEO and ASO is that with an ASO, the employer remains the “Employer of Record” for tax purposes.  The tax filings are done through KEENA but under the client’s own Employer Identification Number. 

What are the benefits of a ASO?

All of your administrative needs are met with ASO Service. You choose the services you need to reduce the time and energy spent on payroll, HR administration and regulatory compliance issues, allowing you to refocus your time and energy on your core business.  This product is designed for those who prefer to maintain their own company-sponsored benefits, workers’ compensation insurance and retirement plans, instead of participating in a PEO group insurance solution.
