The company I'm at uses a 3rd party company to handle payroll, taxes, health insurance, and some level of benefits (like 401k and "discount programs"). According to my understanding I'm a W-2 employee of my company and simultaneously the 3rd party. Because the 3rd party has an office in my state, I get paid via that branch, and pay taxes for my state and not my employer's state. My healthcare plan also differs somewhat from my co-worker's because of state required minimum coverage.
