Challenges We Solve for IT Staffing Firms
Compliance Nightmares
Managing constantly changing employment laws across multiple states is overwhelming. One mistake can result in penalties, lawsuits, or damaged enterprise value. We monitor and manage compliance vigilantly so you can sleep at night.
Operational Inefficiency
Disjointed payroll processes waste valuable time that should be spent on revenue-generating activities. We streamline everything into one integrated service that just works.
High Operating Costs
Disproportionately high back office costs drain profitability. Our transparent pricing and efficient operations significantly reduce your SG&A expenses while improving service quality.
Scaling Challenges
Expanding into new states means navigating new tax jurisdictions and regulations. We handle multi-state complexity seamlessly, enabling confident geographic expansion.
Generic Solutions
Traditional payroll providers don’t understand staffing industry nuances. Their plug-and-play platforms aren’t built for managing transient consultants across multiple states.
PEO Complications
Most client contracts require exclusive W-2 employment relationships. PEO co-employment creates conflicts. Our ASO model maintains your employer relationship without compromise.
TechServe 360 Payroll Services - Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What makes TechServe 360 different from other payroll providers?
We’re built exclusively for IT and Engineering staffing firms. Unlike generic payroll providers, we understand the unique challenges of managing transient consultants, multi-state compliance, and mixed W-2/1099 workforces. Our team has over 35 years of staffing industry experience, and every service is designed with input from leading industry consultants. You get dedicated support from people who actually understand your business—no 1-800 numbers or chatbots.
How is your ASO model different from a PEO?
This is critical. With a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), you enter into a co-employment relationship, meaning the PEO becomes the employer of record. Most staffing client contracts require exclusive W-2 employment relationships, which makes PEOs problematic.
Our Administrative Services Organization (ASO) model maintains your W-2 employer relationship with consultants while we handle all the administrative functions. You keep full control and meet your client contract requirements. It’s all the benefits of outsourcing without the co-employment complications.
Do you work with both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors?
Absolutely. We handle payroll for both W-2 employees and independent contractors. Whether you’re managing full-time staff, temporary consultants, or a mix of both, we’ve got it covered.
Implementation & Onboarding
How long does implementation take?
Most firms complete implementation within 30 to 60 days. We run parallel payrolls alongside your current system before making the switch to guarantee 100% accuracy from day one. Our goal is a smooth transition with minimal disruption to your operations.
What does the implementation process look like?
We follow a four-step process:
- Discovery & Assessment – We evaluate your current payroll structure, systems, and processes
- Custom Configuration – We configure our platform to match your requirements and set up all tax accounts
- Parallel Processing – We run parallel payrolls to guarantee accuracy before going live
Go Live & Support – Your dedicated team manages ongoing operations while you focus on growth
Will my employees notice the transition?
They’ll notice improved service. While we handle everything behind the scenes, your consultants and staff continue to receive their paychecks on time through direct deposit. The transition is designed to be seamless from their perspective.
What happens to my current payroll data?
We migrate all necessary historical data and set up your accounts properly. Your payroll history, tax information, and employee records are transferred securely and maintained in our integrated HRIS platform.
Compliance & Risk Management
How do you handle multi-state payroll compliance?
We manage compliance across all 50 states, handling varying tax rates, regulations, and filing requirements. Our team actively monitors constantly changing federal, state, and local employment laws. We proactively manage compliance so you can expand into new markets with confidence.
What if employment laws change?
We’ve got it handled. Our team includes former General Counsel from public IT staffing firms who vigilantly monitor regulatory changes. We proactively update your payroll processes and keep you ahead of legal changes and compliance requirements. You won’t be caught off guard.
What happens if there's a payroll error?
We guarantee 100% accuracy, but if something does happen, we own it. We’ll correct any errors immediately and handle any penalties or fees that result. That’s our commitment to you.
How do you protect my data?
We use bank-level security with encrypted data transmission and storage. Our HRIS platform has the capacity and security needed to manage all aspects of payroll, HR, and benefits. We’re also fully compliant with all data protection regulations.
Service & Support
Who will I be working with?
You’ll have a dedicated support team with decades of staffing industry experience. No shuffling between departments or waiting on hold with generic call centers. You get a dedicated point of contact who knows your business and responds quickly.
What if I have an urgent payroll issue?
Your dedicated team is available when you need them. Unlike automated systems, you have direct access to real people who can solve problems quickly. We treat your emergencies as our own.
Can I still access my payroll data anytime?
Yes. Our integrated HRIS platform gives you complete visibility with real-time access to payroll data, reports, and analytics. You maintain full control and transparency.
Pricing & Value
How much does TechServe 360 cost?
We offer transparent, configurable pricing based on your specific needs. Most firms significantly reduce their overall SG&A expenses while improving service quality. We’ll provide a detailed proposal during the discovery phase that spells out exactly what you’ll pay—no hidden fees.
Are there hidden fees like with PEOs?
No. Our fee structure is fully transparent. What we quote is what you pay. Unlike many PEO arrangements that have hidden costs buried in the co-employment structure, we believe in straightforward pricing.
How does outsourcing payroll improve my profitability?
By reducing operational costs, eliminating compliance risks, and freeing your leadership to focus on revenue-generating activities. Most small to mid-sized staffing firms spend a disproportionately high amount on back office operations. We help you redirect those resources toward growth.
Will this help my enterprise value?
Absolutely. Clean compliance, efficient operations, and strong financial management all contribute to enterprise value. When you’re ready to exit, having professional back office operations managed by industry experts makes your business more attractive to buyers.
Capabilities & Features
What reports and analytics do you provide?
Our business intelligence dashboard provides metrics tracking for individual and enterprise results, payroll data linked to performance trends, better forecasting tools, and actionable insights for decision making. Everything you need to drive growth, reduce expenses, and increase profitability.
Can you handle workers' compensation?
Yes. We manage workers’ compensation with pay-as-you-go options. It’s integrated with our payroll services for seamless administration.
Do you handle tax filings and year-end processing?
Completely. We handle all federal, state, and local employment tax filings, quarterly reports, W-2s, 1099s, and all year-end processing. You never have to worry about missing a deadline or filing incorrectly.
What about billing and invoicing?
We offer comprehensive billing and accounting services including client invoicing management, responding to client inquiries, monthly financial statements, and accounts payable handling. It’s all part of our integrated back office solution.
