    Why companies leave their PEO

    Cost

    PEO fees often grow with headcount. Past a certain size, many companies pay more for the bundle than they would for payroll, benefits and HR bought separately.

    Benefits that fit your team

    PEO plans are built for a large pool. Leaving lets you choose carriers and plans that match your people, often at a better price.

    Control

    Your policies, your handbook, your employer brand. No more waiting on a PEO ticket queue for answers.

    You've outgrown it

    As teams grow and spread across states or countries, a one-size PEO can start to slow you down.

    How a PEO exit works with AlzaHR

    1. 1

      Plan the timing

      We line up the exit date with your benefits renewal and a payroll quarter, so the switch is clean and nothing lapses.

    2. 2

      Rebuild benefits

      With our broker partner, we compare plans and pricing and set up coverage your team keeps without a gap.

    3. 3

      Set up payroll and registrations

      New payroll provider, state tax and unemployment accounts in each state where you have people, and workers' comp.

    4. 4

      Move your people and documents

      Employee records, I-9s, PTO balances and policies come with you, and your handbook is rewritten as your own.

    5. 5

      Tell your team

      Clear communication so employees know what's changing, what isn't, and who to ask.

    6. 6

      Stay with you after

      Once you're out, AlzaHR stays on as your HR partner, so you get the support without the PEO.

    PEO exit questions

    How long does a PEO exit take?
    Plan on about 60 to 90 days. Most of that is lining up benefits and getting state accounts in place. Timing the exit around your benefits renewal makes it smoother.
    Will we lose our benefits when we leave the PEO?
    Not if the exit is planned. We set up your new plans to start the day the PEO coverage ends, so employees don't have a gap.
    Is leaving a PEO worth it?
    Often, once a company reaches a few dozen employees. We'll look at what you pay now against payroll, benefits and HR bought separately, and tell you honestly if staying makes more sense.
    What does AlzaHR do after the exit?
    We stay on as your HR partner: policies, compliance, recruiting, benefits renewals and employee relations, with a private portal where approvals and updates live.
