Company information
The facts on file
- Description

- Regulatory
- Justworks operates a co-employment PEO and its pricing page states workers' compensation access is required for PEO plans; Trustpilot categorises it under Payroll Service and Human Resource Consulting. IRS Certified PEO (CPEO) status, ESAC accreditation and state PEO licences could not be verified in this session — CPEO status matters because it caps a client's federal employment-tax liability, so it should be confirmed against the IRS CPEO public listings before relying on it.
