Payroll and Tax Administration That Keeps Pace With Your Business

Payroll is one of the few business responsibilities that happens over and over again without much room for error. Employees expect to be paid correctly and on time. Tax filings have deadlines.

Payroll Administration

For many businesses, payroll begins as a relatively simple process. Over time, it often becomes more complex as teams grow, employees work in different locations, reporting requirements evolve, and additional administrative responsibilities are added.

Payroll administration involves more than issuing paychecks. It includes employee onboarding, wage reporting, direct deposits, timekeeping, payroll reports, payroll deductions including court-ordered garnishments, and maintaining accurate employee records.

Multiple Payroll Reporting Options

Every business operates differently. Some employers prefer online payroll entry, while others rely on email, phone, text, fax, or custom imports.

J. Gregory PEO supports multiple reporting methods, allowing businesses to choose the process that best fits their workflow.

Electronic Employee Onboarding

New hire paperwork can be time-consuming for both employers and employees.

Electronic onboarding provides a paperless, mobile-friendly process that helps organize employee information from the start while reducing the need for manual paperwork and duplicate data entry.

Custom Payroll Reporting

Different businesses track different metrics.

Custom reporting options include:

  • Payroll summaries
  • Certified payroll reports
  • Job costing reports
  • Labor allocation reporting
  • Department reporting

Access to detailed reporting allows employers to review payroll information in a format that supports operational and financial decision-making.

Timekeeping Solutions

Accurate payroll begins with accurate time records.

Timekeeping options include web-based systems, mobile applications, and physical hardware solutions, including biometric technology. Depending on the needs of the business, these tools can help track hours worked, overtime, paid time off requests, attendance, and scheduling information.

Employees can access timekeeping tools from a computer, tablet, or mobile device, while managers gain visibility into attendance and workforce activity.

Employee Payment Options

Employees often have different preferences when it comes to receiving wages.

Available payment options include:

  • Direct deposit into a bank account
  • Direct deposit to a pay-card

Employee Garnishment Administration

Satisfying court-ordered obligations requires payroll deductions, payment remittance, and ongoing reporting.

Payroll administration includes support related to:

  • Child support orders
  • Tax levies
  • Student loan garnishments
  • Wage assessments
  • Other legally required payroll deductions

Maintaining proper records and adhering to applicable withholding requirements helps ensure these obligations are administered appropriately.

Independent Contractor Classification Assistance

Worker classification remains an important area of compliance for many employers.
