PEO Services For Transportation Companies

A PEO can provide comprehensive HR services for employers, including payroll processing, HR compliance, risk management, and employee benefits.

If your business is a contractor of FedEx, it's required that you partner with a certified professional employer organization (CPEO) should you choose to outsource your HR functions. As a contractor, it's vital you comply to the following requirements by FedEx:

• Use only CPEOs certified by the IRS
• Ensure that any CPEO used by the service provider is registered and is in good standing with the state(s) in which it operates.
• Upon request of FedEx Ground, you must provide proof of CPEO registration with additional related information which includes proof of workers' compensation coverage, unemployment insurance, and that all federal and state payroll taxes were withheld 

When you partner with GMS, you are guaranteed a partnership with a CPEO. A CPEO is a PEO that has met requirements set by the IRS. Being certified as a CPEO means that we can offer our clients specific financial protections and tax benefits.

A CPEO is solely liable for federal employment tax payments on wages that is pays to its worksite employees. Therefore, if the CPEO fails to pay payroll taxes, the IRS cannot go after the client to collect employment taxes. The liability falls entirely on the CPEO, not the client.
