Payroll & HR

Justworks

Justworks is a professional employer organization that runs payroll, benefits, HR and compliance for small businesses from one platform. It pays employees and contractors across multiple states or countries and can pay US vendors as well.

A company usually starts with the basics — payroll, benefits administration, labor law compliance and automated tax filings — and adds capability as it grows: benefits access, time tracking, dedicated HR consulting, contractor management and international hiring. International employees and contractors can be onboarded without standing up a foreign entity, and both US and overseas workers sit on the same platform.

The company reports processing over $31 billion in payroll and $8.9 billion in total taxes during 2025, generating more than 268,000 W-2s for its PEO customers, and supporting over 4,000 tax localities for employer tax filing. Support is delivered by phone, email and in-platform chat, and the site shows a 4.6 rating on G2.

No prices are published. Before signing, confirm the per-employee monthly cost, which health plans are actually available in the states where staff work, and what moving onto a PEO's tax registrations means for existing filings and workers' compensation.

Best for

Small operators with W-2 staff in more than one state that want payroll, health benefits and compliance from one provider, or that are making a first international hire. Companies committed to their own group health plan may not need a PEO at all.
