Article from 1995 when employee leasing was huge in Florida. "The National Assn. of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO) says 2,178 leasing companies leased 1.6 million workers in 1993. Though Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation does not keep statistics on the number of employees leased in Florida, the largest company in the state (as well as the nation), Bradenton-based Staff Leasing Inc., reports more than 60,000 employees - almost double the work force of Walt Disney World - at 5,800 companies across the nation."

From SouthEast Personnel Leasing, Inc. in Holiday, FL What is the difference between temporary staffing services and a PEO? A temporary staffing service recruits and hires employees and assigns them to clients to support or supplement the client's workforce in special work situations, such as employee absences, temporary skill shortages or seasonal workloads. These workers are traditionally only a small portion of the client's workforce. A PEO hires the clients existing employees and assigns them back. These employees can be full time, part time or seasonal workers. These workers make up the bulk of the clients workforce.

"What is a PEO? A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a human resource outsourcing company designed to assist small, medium and large size businesses to concentrate on their own business by taking on the headaches of payroll, workers' compensation and human resource management."

Marketing case for why businesses should hire PEOs. They let the business focus on the business side, not the management of employees.

Progressive Employee Management Co. (PEMCO) is an employee leasing company headquartered in Manatee County. $73 million a year.

This employee leasing company--SouthEast Personnel Leasing, earned Top Workplace honors for five years ending in 2014. Located in Holiday, FL. Has 283 employees.
