Consultation Services Pricing

  1. Consultation Services

Consultation Services are the “Architectural Intelligence” layer of your payroll infrastructure. We move beyond simple processing to delivering Strategic Workforce Governance. By architecting customized payroll policies and conducting high-impact training for your internal teams—specifically tailored to the 2026 OBBBA mandates and multi-jurisdictional complexities—we ensure your organization possesses the internal expertise needed to maintain compliance and operational efficiency.

Payroll Policy Development: The Governance Blueprint

      • The Depth: We architect a comprehensive Payroll Procedures Manual that serves as the definitive legal and operational guide for your business. This involves documenting specific protocols for employee classification (Exempt vs. Non-Exempt), 2026 pay transparency mandates, and data privacy standards. We define the workflow for overtime approvals, leave management, and the handling of specialized 2026 deductions like qualified overtime. This ensures that your business architecture remains resilient against “Key Person Risk” and provides a defensible framework for external audits or investor due diligence.
      • The Outcome: Standardized Operational Integrity. You gain a customized policy library that aligns your payroll practices with federal and state laws (including Georgia’s specific requirements), ensuring total consistency across your various entities and project sites.

Payroll Training: The Internal Expertise Engine

      • The Depth: Knowledge is your strongest compliance asset. We offer Instructor-Led Training (ILT) for your administrative and management staff, focusing on the tactical execution of your payroll functions. In 2026, our training specifically covers the surgical coding of W-2s under the new OBBBA rules, the navigation of multi-state nexus for remote workers, and the use of AI-driven anomaly detection to spot errors before they impact paychecks. We move from theory to practice, providing your team with “Hands-On” simulations and audit-defense scripts to ensure they can manage payroll with absolute certainty.
      • The Outcome: High-Performance Administrative Autonomy. You receive a trained internal team capable of managing complex payroll lifecycles, reducing your reliance on high-cost external consultants for day-to-day operations and ensuring a zero-error culture.
