Looking for a better alternative to your PEO?

Leaving a PEO is a significant, and often underestimated, project involving many moving parts. With Melita, we make it easy and look after everything for you.

How we compare to a PEO

Professional Employment Organizations have been popular in the small business market over the last 20 years, but their notoriously poor quality of service, lack of flexibility, and all-or-nothing approach to client relationships has made PEOs less desirable for small businesses, especially those that plan to grow and value flexibility and quality of support. If you’re considering a PEO company to manage some or all of your HR functions, see how Melita stack up against a PEO below.

Our “no stickiness” promise

We believe in long-term relationships based upon trust and value, not contracts or gimmicks!

  • You can add or remove service modules at any time. If you remove a service module we will even train your internal staff to take over the work.
  • You own the contracts with all of your benefits vendors so you can change brokers any time if you feel Melita isn't meeting your needs.
  • Our client contract allows freedom to adjust service levels and/or terminate services with a 60 day notice.
  • You own the contract for the ADP, Zenefits, or Rippling technology. We simply install it and manage it for you, but you can continue without disruption if you move away from Melita.
