Over the last seven years (since selling our PEO), we have been asked every conceivable question regarding employers services. Here are some "straight talk" answers to some important questions you may have.

Q: What does TAG do?
A: TAG is a niche player. All we do is take business from Employee Leasing companies / PEO's.

Q: How many clients do you have?
A: More than 300. Less than 1000.

Q: Why did you sell your PEO?
A: We thought that the PEO health care solution would not be viable going forward. Turns out, we were right! As the old and sick "infect" the large PEO poll, the insurance companies have no choice but to hand their clients some pretty steep increases.

Q: Let's try this again. What does TAG do?
A: The exact same service as a PEO. Except we administer all the products under the client's own Federal ID number. This saves you from the PEO getting in your pocket in ways beyond administration fees...the hidden PEO profit centers.

Q: How do you guys know this stuff?
A: See Our History page. We formerly owned the largest independent payroll company in the United States and the second largest PEO in Arizona.

Q: What's TAG's payroll advantage?
A: Obvious - TAG pays your employees, pays your taxes and gives you every payroll report needed known to mankind. Internet or fax - same as before.
A: Not so obvious - TAG saves you payroll taxes. Some of the PEO tricks (13 hidden profit centers) reside here. TAG caps all taxes and charges the SUI rate you deserve.

Q: What is TAG's HR advantage?
A: You decide. TAG is your employee handbook, required poster, I-9 provider and HR expert. We're just a call away.

Q: What is TAG's insurance advantage?
A: United Healthcare or any of our 26 other carriers.
A: TAG is an agency not limited to a single choice.
A: As low as $115 per employee, per month. Compared to $220 with a PEO.
A: As low as $480 per family, per month. Compared to $750 with a PEO.
A: Choices...PPO, HMO, POS, dental, vision, AFLAC, any deductible.

Q: How is that pricing possible?
A: The 13 hidden profit centers of the PEO. We know them. We exploit them. We take the savings and put it toward your health insurance bill.

Q: 13 profit centers? No way! I just pay a percentage of payroll.
A: Wanna bet? Try and read your own PEO invoice. All fees, taxes, workers compensation consolidated on one line. Still not a believer? State Fund paid a dividend out las year of over 50 million dollars. All TAG's clients received their share. What was your?

Q: Are you safe? How do we know you won't take our money?
A: We're safer than your PEO. It is your payroll under your ID number. Go to the IRS web site and see your taxes paid. Go to the DES and State web site. You can't do that with a PEO. Go to the State Fund and see you policy premium paid. Same with your health insurance. Again, the exact products administered under your ID number. Safe, better and a heck of a lot less expensive.

Q: How do you make money?
A: We charge a very small percentage of payroll and make most our fees on insurance. In other words, we get paid by the insurance companies...not you.

Q: References?
A: Well, we pay over 300,000 employees every night. Think we can find a few that like us? How's this. We have some good friends and great partners. Why not ask United Healthcare and AFLAC about us? The vast majority of our clients run through them. Ask your TAG representative for some phone numbers - 623.580.4900.

Q: What is our risk and out of pocket?
A: None. 30 days plus refundable deposits.

Q: What's the catch? Is this too good to be true?
A: TAG Employer Services and TAG insurance Services have never lost a single client. We are just good...not too good to be true.
