Helpside

Helpside is a professional employer organisation (PEO) based in Utah. It takes on payroll, employee benefits, HR compliance, safety and workers' compensation for smaller employers. Clients are mainly in Utah, Wyoming and Arizona, though some have staff in nearly every US state.

What Helpside offers

• Payroll — pay processing handled by a named team rather than a call queue.
• Employee benefits — health and other plans for staff at smaller firms.
• Human resources — onboarding, policies, handbooks and compliance guidance.
• Risk management — safety training and workers' compensation support.

Who it works with

The model is built for businesses with roughly 20 to 150 employees that need real HR help but not a full in-house department. It reports supporting more than 800 businesses across the Intermountain West.
