The all-in-one Global People Platform for hiring, paying, and managing distributed teams with built-in compliance.
The professional employer organization (PEO) platform that simplifies payroll, benefits, and compliance for scaling businesses.
Justworks is a leading professional employer organization (PEO) that operates on a co-employment model, serving as a unified platform for payroll, benefits, human resources, and compliance. Architecturally, Justworks differentiates itself through a vertically integrated stack that manages the flow of funds between employers, employees, and third-party carriers with high precision. By 2026, Justworks has solidified its market position by expanding its 'Justworks International' suite, enabling startups and SMBs to manage global workforces without establishing foreign entities. The platform automates federal and state tax filings, workers' compensation, and unemployment insurance under its own EIN, significantly reducing the administrative overhead for business owners. Its technical infrastructure leverages robust APIs for accounting integrations (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero) and utilizes a proprietary benefits engine that provides small businesses access to large-group rates typically reserved for enterprise-level organizations. With a focus on UX/UI simplicity, Justworks reduces the friction of onboarding, 1099-to-W2 transitions, and multi-state compliance monitoring, making it a critical infrastructure component for modern, distributed companies.
