Justworks

Justworks is a professional employer organization (PEO) that gives small and midsize businesses enterprise-grade payroll, benefits, HR, and compliance support in one simple platform. By co-employing your team, Justworks pools employees across its client base to offer access to large-group health insurance and other benefits that small companies couldn't get on their own, while handling payroll, tax filings, and compliance. Its clean interface and strong support make HR and benefits manageable for companies without a dedicated HR department.

The platform combines several needs SMBs otherwise juggle separately. Payroll runs across all 50 states with automated tax filings; benefits include health, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA, and life/disability through the PEO; and HR tools cover onboarding, PTO, documents, and compliance guidance, backed by 24/7 support. Justworks also offers payroll-only and international/EOR options for teams that don't need the full PEO, plus integrations with accounting and other tools. It's designed to let founders and operations leaders offer competitive benefits and stay compliant without HR overhead.

Justworks serves small and midsize businesses, especially those wanting quality benefits without an in-house HR/benefits team. PEO pricing is per employee per month: PEO Basic around $59 (payroll, compliance, HR, and access to benefits) and PEO Plus around $109 (adds health insurance administration), with volume discounts (for example Basic ~$49 and Plus ~$79 at 100+ employees); health-insurance premiums are additional. It competes with Gusto, Rippling, TriNet, and ADP TotalSource, differentiating on a simple PEO experience with transparent per-employee pricing and strong support.
