Every other PEO we spoke to would not give a number without a discovery call and a proposal. Justworks publishes seventy nine and one hundred and nine per employee on their website. That transparency is why they got our shortlist and eventually our business.

Simple enough that a founder keeps it maintained

Payroll runs itself, the 401(k) is integrated, and I have not thought about a tax filing in two years. For a company of our size that is the entire value proposition.

Compliance in four states stopped being my problem
The platform is simple enough that I actually keep it current. Every HR system I ran before this decayed because maintaining it was a project. This one takes minutes.

We hire against companies ten times our size
We have people in four states and the compliance surface terrified me. Registrations, filings, state specific requirements. That is now their problem rather than mine and it is the single largest reason we pay the premium.

I have contacted support at genuinely odd hours and got a competent human quickly, by phone and by Slack. As a founder doing HR at eleven at night after the real work, that availability is not a nice to have.

Fewer HR features than a dedicated system
Explaining co employment to our team took real effort. People saw a different employer name on tax documents and had questions. Nothing was wrong and I should have communicated it before rather than after.

Response from the vendorJul 23, 2025
Thank you for the feedback. We are sorry the correction took as long as it did, as amended filings depend partly on agency timelines but our communication should have been clearer. Please reach out if anything is still open.

Leaving is a genuine project
At a hundred and forty people the platform fee is a large line item for what is, at that size, payroll and benefits administration we could run ourselves. The value curve genuinely turns and nobody tells you where the turn is.
