✓ Use when

✗ Avoid when

Teams over 250 people (economics flip), international teams, or companies already comfortable running HR in-house.

What is Justworks?

Justworks is a PEO: it becomes the co-employer of record, giving small businesses access to large-group health insurance rates, robust benefits, and HR compliance guidance they could not negotiate alone. Handles payroll, benefits, workers' comp, 401(k), and HR policies. Most valued by 10–200 person companies that want Fortune 500 benefits without a dedicated HR team. Trade-off: PEO model is more expensive per employee than a pure payroll tool and creates switching costs.
