Payroll is where operational mistakes become legal ones.

Misclassified contractors. Overtime miscalculated across work weeks. PTO accruals that quietly overpay. Tax jurisdictions added when you opened a second location. Every one of these becomes a wage-and-hour claim or a DOL letter at exactly the wrong moment. We run payroll administration like the compliance surface it actually is.

Payroll administration, scoped correctly

Payroll Processing Oversight

Run validation, variance review, and pre-submit sign-off on every cycle.

Worker Classification

W-2 vs 1099 review, exempt vs non-exempt audit, and ABC-test documentation for state-law exposure.

Multi-State Tax Registration

State withholding, SUI, and local tax registration across NC, SC, GA, and expansion states.

PTO & Accrual Architecture

Policy build, accrual formulas, cap logic, and state-law compliance (NC/SC/GA specifics).

Quarterly & Year-End Filings

941 review, W-2/1099 generation, and state reconciliation oversight.

Wage & Hour Defense

Time-record audits, meal/rest-period review, and overtime calculation defense prep.

INVESTMENT

We do not replace your payroll provider. We own the administration layer so payroll runs, reconciles, and files correctly every time. Priced against headcount and jurisdiction count. Included inside Operations Partnership at $1,700 base + $10 PEPM.

Scope Payroll Admin

Benefits Administration integrates with Payroll Operations to ensure deductions and withholdings are handled correctly.
