Justworks, Inc. is a technology company founded in 2012 that provides payroll, benefits, and compliance infrastructure to small businesses. Its two primary offerings are Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and Employer of Record (EOR) solutions, designed to simplify the administrative and regulatory burdens faced by smaller employers. The company's mission is to make starting, running, and joining a business more accessible.
The firm was founded by Isaac Oates based on his personal experience with the complexities of human resources administration. Justworks serves thousands of small businesses across all 50 US states. This geographic reach means its compliance infrastructure must handle a wide array of varying state-level employment regulations.
For legal professionals, the company's operations present a broad scope of work in employment law, labor compliance, and benefits administration across every US jurisdiction. Its PEO and EOR models involve managing employer-employee relationships and statutory obligations at scale, which requires navigating a complex and constantly changing legal landscape.
