PEO Services — Payroll, Benefits, HR, and Compliance, Handled Right
A full co-employment partnership that takes HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance off your plate — so you can run the business, not the back office.
Talk To An AdvisorWhat Is a PEO?
A co-employment partnership, in plain English
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) enters into a co-employment arrangement with your business: CLEAR becomes the employer of record for tax and insurance purposes, while you keep full control over your day-to-day operations, hiring, and management decisions.
In practice, that means your employees' payroll, tax filings, workers' compensation, and benefits are administered under CLEAR's umbrella — giving your team access to the kind of health insurance, 401(k), and ancillary benefits typically reserved for companies with hundreds of employees. Meanwhile, CLEAR absorbs and manages the compliance risk that comes with employment law, wage-and-hour rules, and benefits administration, so you're not exposed to it alone.
You still decide who to hire, how to run your business, and what your culture looks like. CLEAR handles the paperwork, the risk, and the infrastructure behind it.
How It Works
One team, handling the parts of employment that put your business at risk
From the first payroll run to your next compliance deadline, the same local team stays on it — not a call center, not a different rep every time you call.
What's Included
Everything a co-employment partnership covers
Payroll & Tax Administration
Multi-state payroll processing, tax filing, and wage-and-hour compliance, handled accurately every cycle.
Employee Benefits
Access to enterprise-grade medical, dental, vision, and 401(k) plans through our Blue Cross partnership — not watered down for small groups.

Workers' Compensation
Coverage, claims oversight, and workplace risk guidance, backed by our carrier partnerships.

A PEO Built on Real Accreditation
Not just a marketing claim — the paperwork to back it up
Most PEOs ask you to trust a sales pitch. CLEAR is ESAC accredited and CPEO certified by the IRS — the two toughest bars in the industry — with an exclusive Blue Cross partnership and a local team based in Bucks County, PA.
