[edit] Industry Links

Not sure why NAPEO has been tagged as a spammer in the earlier discussion. They are the national organization for PEOs and an authoritative source (and no, I do NOT work for them). I'd like to add the link back but don't want it to just get removed again. Sonria 00:32, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Removed from the article as they are simply ads with no relevant extra info on the subject. Nabla 20:47, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I don't think this is even a real article; I just happened upon it while looking at the list of technical tagged pages. This page isn't too technical, it's just full of BS managerese. Hilarious. - Straker 06:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

  • Unless a consensus to the contrary is reached (and I'm guessing it won't), I plan to remove spam links and references to "PML Holdings"/"Planmarc.com" and its affiliates as I find them (along with any other companies that spam...I'm not prejudiced). Several users have attempted to add links to this company, all of whom presumably have an interest there, and two user accounts have received blocks for continued spamming. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 13:25, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

The IP user 63.209.135.130 has repeatedly added links to [PML Holdings Group], which has been repeatedly identified and removed as WP:SPAM. I suspect this user is a sockpuppet of Peobigwig, who also persistantly tried to add links to this site and articles for advertisement of this company. I am adding this to the discussion page of this article both to make anyone who happens to stumble across this aware of the issue, and also to add one more piece to a "paper trail" if needed. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 06:03, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Someone called HROPlus is not contributing any relevent content and is changing links to point to their web site. This behavior is unethical and is likely posted by low life scum. It is highly recommended that this user be banned from the Wikipedia site.

[edit] Discuss links here

Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article. Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly. (You can help!)

I've added an external link to www.advantec-hr.com as we are a PEO and our article explains the benefits of using Advantec's PEO offering...Damon Shields, Webmaster, Advantec-Tampa, FL

[edit] External links, again

I've removed the following external links per WP:EL. --SueHay 18:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Currently researching

I'm researching this article. Please don't make it go away before I have a chance to do something with it. Thanks! BWatkins 02:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

If I send it to AfD, that will give you a week to fix it up. Would you like me to do that, to give you a week to fix it up? --SueHay 03:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Frankly, I don't see the urgency here. One week? This has been AfD before and voted to be kept. My preference is that it just be left alone for now. I do plan to work on it this weekend, though. BWatkins 13:50, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
If I may gently add my voice to BWatkins, I would also appreciate more time. Most of the individuals who know beans about contingent workforce management are people who work fulltime or overtime in the industry. Those with an academic background with an inclination to volunteer research and writing for Wikipedia represent a very small club. While I would be pleased to assist with making these articles more substantial, and may be able to prod some other knowledgeable individuals to join with the effort, having a one week deadline is frustrating.

[edit] Proposed outline

My draft is beginning to take shape and I wanted to share the proposed outline here as an update.

  • Business model - brief description of how a PEO makes money, and its value proposition for the client
  • Early history - Employee leasing develops in the late 1970's and 1980's.
  • Abuses - types of fraud and evasion of federal worker protections in which PEOs were implicated
  • Regulating the PEO industry - efforts of U.S. states, plus the industry's own initiatives
  • Current Issues - SUTA dumping
  • Variations - Administrative Services Organizations (ASO), Umbrella companies in the UK, pass-thru agencies in the U.S., and financial intermediaries (home healthcare).
  • References
  • External links - The only link I plan to add is NAPEO. Even though they promote PEOs, as a trade industry association I think it's a valid use of this section.

Comments are welcome. BWatkins 04:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

New article moved into place. BWatkins 01:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
