Special PEO Legal and Regulatory Issue

If there ever were an industry that needs to stay on the straight and narrow, the PEO business is it. Even more challenging, PEOs need to keep their clients there as well.

The Tampa Chronicles Patrick J. Cleary

During my 10 years at the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), I spent probably a day a week outside the Beltway visiting with members. To me, it was the fun part of the job.
