About Justworks
Justworks is a US professional employer organisation (PEO) for small and growing businesses. As a PEO it becomes the co-employer of your staff, which lets small companies get access to large-group health insurance and other benefits, while Justworks handles payroll, tax filings, compliance support, workers' compensation and HR tools. It also sells a cheaper payroll-only product without co-employment, an employer-of-record service for hiring abroad, and international contractor payments. A distinguishing point is clear, published pricing per employee per month, with no base fee on the PEO plans. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. The trade-offs of any PEO apply: you hand over some control of benefits and policies, costs per employee are higher than plain payroll, and benefits plan choices depend on the states where your staff live.
Best for: US small businesses that want PEO benefits and compliance help with clear pricing.
