Payroll Requires a Human Touch

Employees rely on their paychecks, so there is no room for error when it comes to payroll processing. But automation requires oversight. When you manage payroll on top of your other business needs, you face:

  • Processing Delays: Hours lost tracking down missed punches and correcting timecards before running payroll.
  • Compliance Liability: Navigating tax registrations, garnishments, and multi-state laws without a team of experts.
  • Operational Risks: If you or your payroll admin is out on processing day, payroll grinds to a halt, and creates a poor employee experience.

We Process. You Review.

EmphasisHR turns Paylocity’s payroll software into a fully managed payroll processing operation. Our HR team does more than just automate direct deposits. We handle the manual data entry, validation, and the submission. You simply approve.

Precision in Every Pay Cycle.

We streamline the entire Paylocity payroll workflow, ensuring accuracy from pre-processing to reporting.

1. The Processing Cycle

We run the engine so you don’t have to.

  • Pre-Processing: We manage onboarding new hires and re-hires, as well as employee record maintenance for payroll accuracy and execution.

  • Processing: We resolve payroll discrepancies and administrate commissions, bonuses, and reimbursements for your expense management needs.

  • Post-Processing: We prepare customized and curated Paylocity reports to help you spot trends and audit costs.

2. Tax & Compliance

Navigating the complexities of regulation.

  • Tax Registration: We set up your Paylocity platform to ensure your tax geolocation is accurate with state and local agencies.

  • Tax Filing: We forward tax reports to the appropriate tax jurisdictions as needed.

  • Payroll Compliance: We bring you peace of mind by staying up to date and compliant on the local, state, and federal levels.

3. Complex Administration

Handling the details that slow you down.

  • Garnishment Administration: We calculate and manage complex court-ordered deductions.

  • 3rd Party Pay Management: We manage Paylocity integrations to streamline transfer files to 401(k) and benefit vendors.

HCM Optimization Beyond the Pay Stubs.

EmphasisHR configures the backend of Paylocity to meet your business needs.

  • General Ledger (GL) Mapping: We configure and maintain your GL mapping to ensure real-time payroll data flows seamlessly to accounting.

  • Error Prevention: We utilize the Payroll Readiness Dashboard to catch critical tasks before processing day.

  • Custom Reporting: We build reports that give you visibility into labor costs and deductions.

Payroll Outsourcing for a Fraction of the Cost.

Continuing to self-manage your payroll process or hiring an internal payroll admin creates a single point of failure. Outsourcing with EmphasisHR gives you a reliable and consistent payroll partner who integrates across all parts of your business. Our tried-and-true HR processes make sure your payroll process is integrated into your human resources and benefits administration.
