Businesses have dozens of options for payroll programs and services these days, but many are designed as one-size-fits-all solutions, with employers having to modify their workflow to meet the capabilities of the payroll system. As an alternative, HS&A offers customized payroll applications built to the specific needs of an organization, with solutions capable of managing up to thousands of employees.

HS&A Payroll Services uses the latest technology, including secure web-based management and time entry functions, to provide employers with advanced tools and features. Custom integration allows smooth data sharing between payroll and the organization’s accounting infrastructure. HS&A’s solutions can be used in all states and cities, with all tax tables and compliance capabilities, along with the ability to meet specific industry needs. Organizations can create any number of earnings and job codes, as well as unlimited departments.
Payroll managers can track any number of custom deductions, and the systems include support for all types of employees and contractors, including union pay. Pay-as-you-go workers’ comp is also available.

Since the solutions are offered as a service, the primary responsibilities of the payroll administrator and other staff are managing employee information and entering time and leave data. These functions are performed via web-based portals, through which users can also track time off accruals, set employee groups or cost centers, access reporting options, and perform net-to-gross calculations. Online portals also offer employees the ability to view paystubs, histories and W-2s. Direct deposit can support any number of accounts. A business’ external accountant can also be provided online access to reporting and GL data.

HS&A’s solutions are offered as a service, with the vendor performing all tax processing functions, including annual and quarterly wage and hire reporting, payments, processing of W-2s and 1099s, and even mailing of recipient copies. HS&A also offers integrated time and attendance systems, as well as extensive benefits options that include 401(k)s, 125 plans, COBRA administration, unemployment claims management and tax credit processing.
