Revenue model

1. PEO Co-Employment Services: employEZ serves as the marketing and sales arm for multiple Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). Revenue is generated through co-employment arrangements where businesses pay for payroll processing, employment tax handling, workers' compensation coverage, employee benefits administration, and HR administrative services. The PEO becomes the employer of record for tax and compliance purposes while clients retain management control.
2. HR Administrative Services: Additional revenue streams include fees for human resources management, claims administration, risk and safety management, and compliance services. These are bundled as part of the PEO co-employment relationship.
