|
||
| WHEREAS, National PEO Week is taking place from May 21 | ||
| through 27, 2023, providing a fitting opportunity to recognize | ||
| professional employer organizations for their contributions to | ||
| businesses across the United States; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The national professional employer organization | ||
| (PEO) industry provides payroll and human resources services to | ||
| hundreds of thousands of small and mid-sized businesses that, in | ||
| total, employ more than 4 million people; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Professional employer organizations help companies | ||
| improve productivity and profitability, expand their reach, and | ||
| achieve their goals; and | ||
| WHEREAS, By partnering with a PEO, businesses are able to | ||
| offer their employees retirement plans, health, dental, and life | ||
| insurance, dependent care, and other important benefits; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Professional employer organizations play an | ||
| instrumental role in ensuring that businesses continue to thrive | ||
| during challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic, when | ||
| these organizations helped their clients secure financial | ||
| assistance, manage employee leave, and apply for available tax | ||
| credits; and | ||
| WHEREAS, According to the National Association of | ||
| Professional Employer Organizations, businesses that partnered | ||
| with a PEO during the pandemic were nearly 60 percent less likely to | ||
| permanently close; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Professional employer organizations are a vital | ||
| asset to the businesses they serve, and it is a pleasure to join in | ||
| honoring these groups for their outstanding work; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby recognize May 21 through 27, 2023, as National | ||
| PEO Week and extend to all those involved in the professional | ||
| employer organization industry sincere best wishes for the future. | ||
