What makes Virginia different

Virginia regulatory landscape

  • Virginia VFMLA covers employers with 5+ employees, broader than federal FMLA threshold of 50.
  • Virginia does not separately license PEOs at the state level; CPEO status is the primary federal credential.
  • Federal contractors face SCA wage determinations, DBA prevailing wages, AAP obligations (50+ employees and $50K+ contract).
  • Virginia's wage payment and non-compete laws were significantly updated 2020-2024 and continue to evolve.
Metro coverage

We place clients across Virginia, including Northern Virginia (Arlington/Alexandria/Fairfax), Richmond, Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach/Norfolk), Charlottesville. The right PEO often varies by metro because of regional service-team coverage.

Virginia questions

Common questions in Virginia

Can a PEO handle federal contractor compliance?

Some PEOs handle it well; many do not. ADP TotalSource has the deepest SCA, DBA, AAP, and OFCCP experience. Diligence this specifically during evaluation — ask the PEO sales rep to walk you through their SCA wage determination workflow.

How does a PEO handle Virginia VFMLA?

Competent PEOs apply VFMLA's 5-employee threshold automatically (vs. federal FMLA's 50-employee threshold), administer protected leave, coordinate with short-term disability, and maintain the documentation a Virginia employer needs.

Are PEOs available for Virginia defense contractors?

Yes, but security clearance and DCAA compliance considerations narrow the list. ADP TotalSource has the most NoVA defense-contractor experience. Vensure handles some defense-supply-chain clients.

What's a typical Virginia PEO cost?

For a 25–75 employee Virginia SMB (especially federal contractor), expect $140–$240 per employee per month. Compliance complexity in federal contracting often pushes costs toward the upper end.
