Direct Answers

Frequently Asked Questions About BBSI Dover

Direct, factual answers to top inquiries from Delaware executives, business owners, and CFOs.

What is a PEO and how does the co-employment relationship work?
A Professional Employer Organization (PEO) enters into a fiduciary co-employment agreement with your business. You retain 100% operational control over daily work, hiring and firing authority, business strategy, and company culture. BBSI becomes the administrative employer of record, managing payroll processing, federal and Delaware state payroll taxes, workers' compensation compliance, and master health benefit administration under our legal infrastructure.
How does BBSI reduce Delaware workers' compensation costs?
BBSI Dover provides qualifying employers with zero-deposit, pay-as-you-go workers' compensation coverage billed directly on actual wages every cycle. This preserves operating capital and eliminates costly year-end audit bills. Furthermore, our dedicated Risk Consultants perform on-site safety assessments, hazard analyses, and light-duty return-to-work protocols that systematically lower your Experience Modification Factor (X-Mod) over time.
