Dedication to success
You work hard. You are dedicated to the success of your recruiting or staffing agency; you are fully committed to serving your company, your clients, and your employees. With employees working for many different companies within a year, in multiple states, or even across international borders, ensuring each is paid timely and accurately is just one challenge you face when it comes to processing payroll.
There's more to payroll than just cutting a check
You know there's more to payroll than cutting a check. Your payroll and accounts payable operations are subject to many federal, state, and local tax laws, not to mention rules governing child support withholding, overtime, and immigration. For an organization like yours, one that pays employees in every imaginable industry and location, staying in compliance can be daunting.
If your agency fails to comply with every rule and regulation, the noncompliance penalties could cost your company thousands or even millions of dollars. These rules are constantly changing, so it's critical that your staff be kept up-to-date. Payroll's most complex issues, such as the regular rate of pay, wage garnishments, and more, are tackled head-on by the American Payroll Association.
