About PEL

Company History

Professional Employee Leasing, Inc. (PEL) is a Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, specializing in the health care industry. With over 53 years of related experience, PEL is committed to providing health care professionals with the management tools and strategies they need to increase income, minimize expenses and maximize employee efficiency.

Increase Income: When PEL assumes the arduous tasks of payroll, workers' comp reporting and benefit plan maintenance, our clients can focus their time on increasing collections, as well as seeing more patients.
Minimize expenses: With PEL's 125 and retirement savings plans, both the employees' and employer's tax liabilities are significantly reduced.
Maximize employee efficiency: Federal & state regulations, wage and hour issues, tax laws - staying in compliance can often be a full time job, but not the job you intended for your staff. PEL's staff is trained to stay current on these, and the many other compliance issues that can otherwise encroach on yours and your staff's valuable time.
