PEOS AND INSURANCE AGENTS Professional employer organizations (PEOs) and insurance agents have been traditional competitors because PEOs provide Workers’ Compensation and Health insurance under their master plans to client firms. But times have changed. In the late 1990s, three PEOs were formed with plans to enter into marketing agreements with insurance agents. All three quickly grew to rank among the 10 largest PEOs in the U.S. Later, many other PEOs started to offer sales contracts to insurance agents while retaining a direct sales force. Today, most of the 25 largest PEOs will provide a sales contract to insurance agents. Over the last five years, two significant developments have changed the landscape for the relationship of insurance agents and PEOs: In 2013, the NCCI released a study authored by its chief economist, Harry Shuford, concluding that PEOs have a positive impact on the nation’s Workers’ Compensation system. This has encouraged many of insurance agents, who had previously held a negative opinion of PEOs, to look to PEOs to provide an alternative solution to various insurance needs for their clients.

The PEO marketplace has evolved. Five years ago most PEO sales with insurance agents involved the agent working with a PEO employee sales rep, who handled all point of sale communication with the client. The evolution of PEO sales has followed the independent insurance agent model. Today many agents look to PEO brokers to access PEO solutions for their clients. Today there are more than 750 PEOs in the U.S. The PEO broker typically has sales contracts with many PEOs and can match up the needs of the client with the capabilities of a group of PEOs to request proposals. The PEO broker can analyze the proposals from a group of PEOs and prepare an apples-to-apples comparison for the client and the insurance agent. This saves the client time because the client does not need to deal with four or five PEO sale reps to select a PEO and receives a comparison by an independent party who is representing the client and not the PEO. It helps the insurance agent because none of the PEO proposals are from his competitors.

STRATEGIC ALLY Elements is your strategic ally in more than just human resources, payroll and benefits. The Elements 401(k) plan is a key element to you and your employees’ financial future. The 401(k) is no longer an optional benefit. It is as much expected as health insurance was ten years ago. That’s why there is a large influx of new participants to 401(k) retirement plans. The hurdle for most businesses is to put together a 401(k) plan that is up-todate, easy to use and cost-effective. Elements overcomes these hurdles for you with our plan design, investment performance and service. INVESTMENT PLATFORM The line-up of mutual funds that comprise the investment platform are highly rated funds. They have been carefully selected by Elements Investment Committee for rating, expenses and stability of the fund. The overall platform utilizes funds with varied investment styles such as value, blend and growth.

PRE-ALLOCATED PORTFOLIOS Employees who are not familiar with investing and assessing risk can select an asset-allocated portfolio that matches their risk tolerance and investment strategy. Slavic Mutual Funds Management Corporation (the investment advisor) offers three distinct portfolios for aggressive, moderate and conservative investors. The portfolios are rebalanced once per year to maintain targeted risk levels. MULTIPLE EMPLOYER PLAN The Multiple Employer Plan captures one of the best features of an employee leasing company — its size. By co-adopting Elements master plan, you become part of a plan with conceivably thousands of participants and millions of dollars in plan assets. An important element of the plan design is that the individual company does not need to adopt its own plan document or be solely responsible for the fiduciary compliance of the plan. Each company that co-adopts the master plan is individually tested for compliance with IRS and DOL guidelines. For retirement plan purposes, the work-site company is the common-law employer.
