New York-based PEO further reduces their client’s liability by becoming IRS certified, joining a small percentage of PEOs that have obtained this certification.

POUGHKEEPSIE, NY — Ethan Allen HR Services, a leading Professional Employment Organization (PEO) within the Hudson Valley, is now recognized as an IRS-certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO).

Dedicated to providing their customers with the best possible service, Ethan Allen HR Services applied for this voluntary certification to give added assurances to small businesses who partner with them for full-service HR support. When these businesses work with a CPEO like Ethan Allen HR Services, the CPEO becomes a co-employer, assuming many of the employment-related responsibilities – such as payroll, taxes, and reporting.

“Ethan Allen HR Services was developed with one goal in mind – to make the lives of our clients easier,” said Dean Domenico, President of Ethan Allen HR Services. “By voluntarily going through the rigorous steps to become an IRS-certified PEO, we’re providing our clients with the highest level of compliance in the industry. They can rest easy knowing their employment-related tasks are completed accurately and efficiently by a team that truly cares.”

The CPEO certification was created through the Small Business Efficiency Act (SEBA), providing a regulatory framework that guaranteed a PEO’s service levels. Safeguards include a comprehensive and annual audit of financial statements, payroll reporting of worksite employees, documentation that they have positive funds, a background check on CPEO employees responsible for tax payment, and more. With these regulations, the IRS looks solely to the CPEO to pay employment taxes on wages – further reducing liability for the small business.

Ethan Allen HR Services received their official IRS certification in October 2019. To learn more about how they can support your business with full-service HR support, please visit www.eapeo.com.
