PEO Contract Terms and Cancellation Notices: Verified Table
Contract terms and cancellation notices for every tracked PEO, one row per provider. Each populated cell links to the primary source it came from and carries the date it was verified; a cell we have no source for says exactly that.
| Provider | Standard contract term | Notice required to exit |
|---|---|---|
| ADP TotalSource | Not verified | 30 days' written notice, or immediately for cause (form Client Services Agreement) source |
| Gusto | No contracts; month-to-month source | Cancel anytime source |
| Insperity | No fixed term under the standard Client Service Agreement source | 30 days' written notice (standard CSA, per Insperity's 10-K) source |
| Justworks | Month-to-month, auto-renewing monthly source | 30 days' written notice; no early termination fee generally reported source |
| Paychex PEO | Term set in the Service Agreement; fees assume service for the full term source | Written notice per the Signature Packet waives the transition fee; Paychex may terminate on 30 days' notice source |
| Rippling PEO | Term per the Order Form; auto-renews for the shorter of the initial term or 12 months source | 30 days' written non-renewal notice; deactivating the account does not end obligations through the current term source |
| Sequoia One | Not verified | Not verified |
| TriNet | No fixed term in the form Subscriber Service Agreement; cancellable on 30 days' written notice source | 30 days' written notice; termination effective at the end of the next calendar month source |
How to use this table
The two columns answer different questions. The term decides how long you are committed and whether the agreement renews automatically; the notice decides what it costs you to leave mid-cycle. A month-to-month agreement with a 30-day notice is a different product from a fixed term with a transition fee, and the difference matters when the arrangement is not working.
Two caveats. First, the cancellation notice is the published form-agreement notice; an executed agreement can vary. Second, where a provider does not publish a term or a notice at all, the cell is unverified and the provider's own page still says so — see ADP TotalSource (no fixed term published) and Sequoia One (neither term nor notice published).
