Article Title: Wisconsin PEO Legislation - Source: State of Wisconsin - 3/14/2010

The State of Wisconsin has moved to revise the regulatory requirements for Professional Employer Organizations operating in the state. After approval, the new rules allow PEOs with less than 50 worksite employees to register with the state as "small operations" and removes the requirement of the PEO to provide financial statements to the department. In addition the state will maintain and publish a list of all PEO and PEGs (2 or more PEOs). Other provisions specify that all state taxes, assessments or benefits required by the state must be paid by the PEO client. - This bill provides that the employees of a PEO or PEG who are providing services for the client will also be considered the employees of the client for the purposes of determining the value of any tax credits or economic development incentives that may be provided by a local governmental unit to a client who provides employment.
