Justworks

As a PEO provider, JustWorks assists us with compliance, payroll, some benefit administration, and general employee file management. It houses all of our current HR functions and assists with tracking changes in labor laws across the country. We generally do not use their HR consulting services nor do we engage with their insurance programs. We use their in-house 401k, Workers Comp, Commuter Benefits, and Disability Insurance.

• Labor Law tracking (time saving)
• Centralized tools

In our organization we use Justworks to process payroll, pay vendors and contractors and provide employees with Discrimination and Harassment Training. We also use the space for providing annual tax information as well as some documents since terminated employees retain access to Justworks. Additionally, Justworks administers our benefits, manages our tax filings, workers comp insurance and unemployment claims.

• We hire 200 employees seasonally, processing required tax filings with different states would be a big lift on our organization.
• They provide support to our platform admins and staff.

Justworks is one of my go-to Professional Employment Organizations (PEOs) for clients needing payroll services and/or a healthcare solution for their employees. Especially for those organizations with little to no HR experience or support, Justworks provides an easy to use interface and excellent customer service for both routine and complicated HR situations.

• Employee Satisfaction - Justworks is a much easier employee self-service tool than our prior PEO
• Cost to the business - Justworks offered a better solution for less cost
• Ease of implementation - Justworks is easy to use from an administrative and user standpoint and their IT teams and customer support were talented, quick and easy to work with during the (short) PEO implementation window.

We moved from a payroll service to Justworks about 5 months ago to get the benefit of being with a PEO. There have been some benefits of the PEO side. The payroll side is another story. In my experience, our payroll process now takes at least 20 minutes longer per payroll and is much more complex and cumbersome than our old provider. Their marketing and onboarding people are helpful, but the payroll process itself is enough of a headache, in my opinion, and we may consider moving away from them in 2024.

• Payroll
• HR management

• Negative - In my expereince, the payroll process has frustrated employees and users and has taken much more time, so it ends up costing even more than the price tag of the Justworks fees I've found
