About Us

Barrett Business Services, Inc. (BBSI) is a national Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and business management solutions provider that helps small to mid-sized businesses grow and succeed by offering a range of HR, payroll, risk management, and business consulting services.

?? What BBSI Does for Businesses:

1. Payroll Administration

BBSI takes on the responsibility of processing payroll, managing tax filings, and ensuring compliance with wage and hour laws. This helps businesses avoid costly payroll mistakes and focus on revenue-generating work.

2. Human Resources Support

BBSI provides dedicated HR professionals who help with:
• Employee relations
• Policy development
• Hiring and onboarding
• Performance management
• Terminations and compliance

This removes the burden of HR complexities for business owners.

3. Risk & Safety Management

BBSI partners with businesses to create custom safety programs, provide on-site training, and reduce workplace injuries. They also handle OSHA compliance and help reduce Workers’ Comp claims through proactive management.

4. Workers’ Compensation Coverage

Unlike most PEOs, BBSI is a self-insured Workers’ Comp carrier. This allows them to:
• Offer competitive Workers’ Comp rates
• Manage claims directly
• Lower clients’ MOD rates through safety programs and return-to-work initiatives

5. Strategic Business Consulting

Every BBSI client is paired with a local Business Partner—a strategic consultant who helps the business owner analyze operations, set goals, and scale their company. These partners become trusted advisors, not just service providers.

6. Employee Benefits

While not a broker, BBSI works with benefit providers to coordinate and administer medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and other employee benefits on behalf of the client—streamlining the experience for both business owners and their teams.
