You source. We employ. WorkGenius legally employs the W-2 workers you place — payroll, benefits, and compliance in every state.
You're great at sourcing and winning clients. Everything below is what gets in the way.
A client needs someone in a state you're not set up in — so you pass on the business.
Every new state means registrations, tax accounts, and quarterly wage & tax returns — forever.
One misclassification, workers' comp claim, or audit is an existential risk for a small agency.
You can't match the health and 401(k) plans big firms use to poach your best candidates.
Payroll, onboarding, tax, invoicing — the admin steals the hours you should spend selling.
You fund payroll days before your client pays — and legacy providers make you fund earlier still.
WorkGenius is already the registered employer in all 50 states, with every account, filing, and policy in place. You place the worker — we do all of it. Here's what disappears from your plate:
Going global down the road? We cover 150+ countries too.
Fund payroll Thursday — your people are paid Friday. Most providers make you fund Tuesday or Wednesday. That's 2–3 extra days of working capital in your account, every pay cycle.
Same money — it just stays in your account 2–3 days longer.
You land the client and place the right talent — the work you're great at.
WorkGenius becomes the compliant W-2 employer, in any of the 50 states.
Payroll, taxes, filings, workers' comp, benefits, and compliance — all handled.
You bill your client and keep your markup — we handle the employment behind it.
WorkGenius is the Employer of Record — the legal, W-2 employer of the workers you place. You remain the agency your client works with.
Yes. You bill your client and keep your markup. Our fee is simply the cost of compliant employment.
All 50. We're already the registered employer — with tax accounts, filings, and workers' comp in place — in every state, so you can place a worker anywhere today.
Immediately. Because we're already set up everywhere, there's no registration and no waiting.
Access to enterprise-grade benefits — health coverage, 401(k), and more — the kind that help you attract and keep great people.
Fund payroll Thursday and your people are paid Friday. Most providers make you fund Tuesday or Wednesday — so you keep your cash 2–3 days longer, every pay cycle.
Pricing is a simple per-employee fee on top of the true cost of employment (wages, taxes, benefits). You keep your client markup — talk to our partnerships team for a quote based on your placements.
A PEO co-employs your staff under your own entities, so you still register and file in every state. An Employer of Record is the sole legal employer of the workers you place — so you need no entities, tax accounts, or filings anywhere.
Yes. We employ placed workers as compliant W-2 employees, and can engage independent contractors compliantly where that is the correct classification — with the misclassification risk on us.
No. Because WorkGenius is already the registered employer in all 50 states, you place workers anywhere without setting up a single entity or opening state tax accounts.
It includes payrolling but goes further: as the Employer of Record we take on the full employment relationship and its liability — payroll, taxes, benefits, workers’ comp, and compliance — not just cutting the checks.
When you need it, we cover 150+ countries. But most agencies start with our all-50-states US coverage.
Keep sourcing and winning clients. Let WorkGenius be the employer of record behind your placements. Let's talk about becoming a partner.
