About Allvia
Better HR Starts Here
Allvia was built on a simple idea: HR should help businesses grow and perform better, not get in the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Allvia a Professional Employer Organization (PEO)?
No. Unlike a PEO, Allvia does not use a co-employment model. You remain the employer of record and retain control of your employees, benefits plans, systems, and data while gaining access to experienced HR professionals and scalable support. Allvia can also complement your existing PEO with specialized HR expertise and workforce strategy services.
What’s the difference between a PEO and HR outsourcing?
A PEO becomes a co-employer of your workforce and typically moves you onto its own benefits plans and technology. HR outsourcing delivers the same kinds of services without co-employment. You keep your plans, your broker, and your systems. Allvia is an HR outsourcing partner, so you get managed support without giving up control.
Can we use just one Allvia service?
Yes. You can engage HR administration, payroll, benefits administration, or workforce strategy on its own, or all four together. Most clients start with what they need today and add capabilities as they grow. Each new service comes from the same team, so expanding never means switching providers.
What size companies does Allvia work with?
Allvia works with companies from early-stage startups to organizations with thousands of employees. Allvia can grow as you grow which means you don’t have to find multiple companies to work with for different HR needs.
How does Allvia support companies through acquisitions and periods of growth?
Allvia helps businesses navigate workforce changes, including acquisitions, integrations, and rapid growth. Our services span organizational design, HR and benefits integration, workforce planning, and employee communications to help companies manage change effectively.
Can Allvia support employers operating in multiple states?
Yes. Allvia helps employers manage HR administration, payroll, benefits, and compliance across multiple states. Our team supports the complexities of varying state requirements, helping you maintain consistent HR operations as your business grows.
How does Allvia integrate with my current HRIS technology vendor?
Allvia works with nearly all leading HRIS providers to help you get more value from your technology. Our team supports system implementation, manages day-to-day administration, optimizes workflows, and provides ongoing expertise to ensure your HR technology works better for your business.
Can Allvia help my business transition from a PEO or switch HRIS providers?
Yes. Allvia helps employers transition away from PEOs, implement new HRIS technology, and streamline HR and payroll operations. Our team manages the transition process, from planning and system implementation to data migration, benefits coordination, and ongoing administration, helping minimize disruption to your business and employees.
