A contract provision that automatically extends the agreement unless terminated within a specific window.
Auto-renewal clauses in PEO contracts automatically extend the agreement (often for the same term as the initial contract — 12 or 24 months) unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal within a specified window before the renewal date.
Reasonable notice windows are 60-90 days. Some PEOs use 180-day windows that effectively trap clients — if you don't remember to cancel six months ahead, you're locked in for another full term. This is a red flag during contract review.
