How to Unbundle
From Your PEO

A Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Back Control of Your HR

For growing businesses, a PEO can offer temporary relief — but it also comes with hidden costs, compliance limits, and a lack of control. Unbundling from your PEO and transitioning to a traditional business structure on Paylocity gives you freedom, flexibility, and full ownership of your HR operations.

What’s Inside This Guide?

This in-depth guide breaks down the 14 key areas you’ll need to address when leaving your PEO, including:

  • Setting up your own tax accounts

  • Taking control of payroll, compliance, and benefits

  • Replacing insurance policies and HR support systems

  • Managing onboarding, terminations, and employee communications

  • Navigating legal and regulatory changes with confidence

You’ll also learn how EmphasisHR and Paylocity make the transition smooth, strategic, and fully supported — so you can focus on growing your business.
