DALLAS, TEXAS – (July 13, 2017) – Staff One HR, a Dallas-based HR managed services company with an ESAC-accredited PEO service offering, is among the first to earn Certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO) status from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The CPEO program originated through the Small Business Efficiency Act (SBEA) as a voluntary IRS certification program for PEOs. CPEO certification assures clients of the financial wellbeing of the PEO, as well as providing tax advantages and more protection for business owners.  Previously, PEO clients risked double taxation when joining or leaving a PEO relationship midyear. Under the SBEA, a CPEO is treated as a “successor employer” for purposes of Social Security/Medicare and federal unemployment taxes, eliminating the need to restart FICA and FUTA wage bases.

“Achieving CPEO certification is one more thing that sets us apart,” said Staff One HR CEO Mark Sinatra.  “Staff One HR is one of the few PEOs in the country that hold both the ESAC accreditation and CPEO certification. We are committed to maintaining only the highest operational standards, for the benefit of our clients, our team members, and our stakeholders.”

In addition to the newly achieved CPEO designation, Staff One HR has held accreditation from the Employer Services Assurance Corporation, (ESAC) since 1999. Both ESAC and CPEO programs are voluntary, and participating PEOs must meet stringent requirements regarding tax status, experience, background, financial reporting, bonding, and more, in order to achieve and maintain certification.

“Our clients can rest assured that we are doing the right things the right way,” explained Sinatra.  “Not only do we require individual certifications from our client-facing team members, but we as an organization hold ourselves to the highest standards in the industry.”

Marketing is not rocket science, but it does have a lot of moving parts and the potential to make your company look unprofessional, inconsistent, or just plain confusing if it’s not done well. It takes a long time to create, promote, and establish your logo, tagline, and “voice,” so it’s wise to invest in protecting these items as part of your company’s image and communications.

As one of the most easily recognized logos on the planet, the Nike “Swoosh” is a textbook example of successful brand identity. Originally founded as Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS) in 1964, the company became Nike in May of 1971. Since then, the “Just Do It” tagline and the Swoosh logo have graced countless athletic items and are among the most-recognized—and best-protected—brand properties in the world.
