Who is responsible for workers' compensation and unemployment taxes?
As the employer for employment tax and employee benefits, LandrumHR assumes responsibility for payment of state unemployment taxes, and most states recognize the PEO as the responsible entity. In those states that require or allow the PEO to report unemployment taxes under its clients' account numbers, the PEO can still manage this responsibility.
Most states recognize the PEO as the employer of record for worksite employees for purposes of providing workers' compensation coverage.
