Workers' Comp Insurance – PEOs

PEOs Make Unemployment Issues “Somebody Else’s Problem”

Allan Jackson of Southeastern Data explains why a PEO solved his unemployment problemWould it comes as a surprise that small to medium business owners are dealing more with unemployment issues these days? Wouldn’t it be great to hand those problems off to someone else?

With the services of a PEO, where the PEO becomes the “employer of record”, it is no longer the client’s responsibility to deal with unemployment issues (such as claims and UE taxes.) That all becomes “Somebody Else’s Problem” (the PEO’s) and the client can continue to build their business.

Allan Jackson, owner of Southeastern Data, explains (in the video below) how a PEO got rid of his unemployment problems in the video below. Southeastern Data is entering their third year as a client of a PEO (placed by PEO Pros.)

Client Profile: Southeastern Data

Southeastern Data is one of the most unique businesses in Central Florida. From their website:

“Since 1996 Southeastern Data has provided recycling & remarketing of of all types of computers & electronic equipment. We offer pickup service across the nation and to a number of locations outside of the country.

Southeastern Data is an expert at recycling all forms of electronics and equipment. We also offer wholesale pricing of refurbished and new-old-stock items at our warehouse location in Oviedo, Florida. Our warehouse is open to the public Monday-Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. with other hours available by appointment.”

Allan Jackson, owner and CEO tells us “I wish I’d known about PEOs when I got started. I could have avoided a lot of headaches in our first year of business associated with managing payroll and taxes, but the real benefit early on would have come from expert help with basic HR issues such as unemployment and workers comp insurance. The time and money that I used to spend on that is now completely focused on the business. It’s been a huge upgrade! I also can’t say enough about PEO Pros in helping me find the best PEO solution for our needs at every step in my company’s evolution. My best advice for moving to a PEO relationship would be to make PEO Pros your first call.”

We are also clients of Southeastern Data. We have purchased all of our office computers and other tech items from their high quality collection of previously owned equipment.
