4 Program Highlights Who is Idilus? Idilus is a national PEO with administrative offices in Chicago and the NY Metropolitan Area. They specialize in serving smaller high end service businesses that expect white glove service. They are most often characterized in the industry as a "Boutique PEO". Idilus is a PEO that is a co- employer organization that has the capability of AGGREGATING hundreds of small employers including sole proprietors allowing each small businessperson to purchase better, more cost effective employee benefits while receiving services that are reserved for Fortune 100 companies. Who is Employers Network Association (E.N.A.)? E.N.A. is the membership association providing additional benefits & the billing administrator. Who is this program available to? This program is being rolled out to the New York Metropolitan area with enhanced benefit options. It will cover all businesses from one employee (sole proprietor) to one hundred. How does it work? Idilus responsibilities under their agreement with the employer include the setting up of a payroll relationship with each business and their employees even if there is only one employee, a sole proprietor. The small business employees (including sole props) are also W-2 employees of Idilus, a PEO. Each small business owner (sole props included) will determine the payroll frequency they wish to utilize. The payroll frequency could be weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, or semiannually. Idilus will at each pay date deduct from the business account the gross payroll and all taxes associated with the payroll being paid. This is the same procedure that payroll companies such as ADP and Paychex utilize, they deduct the employee and employer taxes with each payroll. The taxes will then be forwarded on, lessening or eliminating the need for sole proprietors to have to file estimated quarterly taxes (they should check with their accountant). The pay check will be net of all taxes due for that pay period. The actual EMPLOYEE pay check will be direct deposited back into the account the now employee has chosen, seventy two (72) hours after the payroll encumbrance. Idilus as stated earlier will be deducting both the employer portion as well as the employee portion of the taxes due. Idilus, once they receive the paperwork and applications fully completed, will contact each new employer group to set up their payroll & enroll them in the medical benefits plan. The PEO fees as well as the Dues will be billed directly by Idilus on the fifteenth of each. The Health Plan & Optional Riders will be billed by ENA of Valhalla, NY each month via EFT.
