About Merit Resources:
One of the greatest benefits of owning your own business is the freedom it offers — freedom to be your own boss, increase your income, and make the best use of your knowledge and expertise. Now Merit offers a program that will give business owners even more freedom; a complete package of employee benefits, human resources management, and payroll and employment tax administration that cures the headaches of running your own business.

Merit is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO); a company which contractually manages critical human resource and personnel responsibilities and employer risks for businesses by establishing and maintaining an employer relationship with worksite employees.

Merit Resources began in 1989 when John Hovey joined two other partners to form Iowa's first Professional Employer Organization. The company operates nationwide and is a member of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations. NAPEO is the recognized voice of the industry, providing education, training, government relations, and professional Code of Ethics and Operating Standards to its member companies.

Merit Resources currently has employees in a co-employment relationship with clients nationwide. It is estimated that two to three million Americans are currently co-employed in a PEO arrangement. PEO's are operating in every state and the industry has grown 20-30% per year.
