Emergency Payroll Packages

We understand that every organization’s needs are unique. That’s why we offer three distinct Emergency Payroll packages to cater to a range of requirements:

Guidance:

This package is tailored for clients who have an existing payroll team but may have reservations about executing payroll autonomously during critical times. In such cases, Mosaic steps in as a supervisor and advisor, offering comprehensive guidance to facilitate the client’s payroll processing efforts. This ensures that your team can handle payroll confidently, even in challenging situations.

Basic Payroll:

Designed for clients who lack a dedicated payroll team or operate with a streamlined staff, the Basic Payroll package is a lifeline during emergencies. Clients provide the necessary import files, which we process on their behalf. The processed data is then used to generate comprehensive reports for client verification before finalizing the payroll posting. This package ensures that payroll remains accurate and on time, even when resources are limited.

Just Pay People:

Some clients may not have access to timekeeping systems during critical moments but still prioritize the crucial task of employee compensation. In such cases, the Just Pay People package is the ideal solution. Our consultants use data from the previous period to replicate payroll for the current period. Client engagement is essential, as they are required to endorse any alterations and approve the final outcomes before finalization. This package streamlines the payroll process, allowing organizations to focus on their core responsibilities during emergencies.

The Top 5 Challenges Companies Face with Managed Payroll Services: A Comparison of Industry Leaders

,

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, companies are increasingly turning to managed payroll services to streamline their operations, enhance efficiency, and minimize errors. Giants like Trinet, ADP, and UKG are leading the charge, offering comprehensive managed payroll solutions. However, while these services offer substantial benefits, they are not without their challenges. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the top 5 issues that companies commonly encounter with managed payroll services, and how providers like UKG is setting a new standard for error-free payroll management.

1. Inaccuracies and Errors: One of the most significant concerns companies face with managed payroll services is the potential for inaccuracies and errors in processing payrolls. Mistakes in calculating wages, taxes, or benefits can lead to employee dissatisfaction and even legal consequences. While giants like Trinet and ADP strive to minimize these issues, companies often report occasional discrepancies.

2. Lack of Personalization: Many managed payroll services take a one-size-fits-all approach, which can lead to a lack of personalization. Companies often find that their unique payroll needs aren’t adequately addressed, resulting in confusion and inefficiencies. UKG stands out by offering tailored solutions that align with each client’s specific requirements, minimizing confusion and increasing overall satisfaction.

3. Customer Service Challenges: Responsive customer support is crucial when dealing with intricate payroll processes. However, some managed payroll providers struggle to offer timely and effective customer service, leaving companies in the lurch when issues arise. UKG prioritizes excellent customer support, ensuring that clients receive prompt assistance whenever they need it.

4. Integration Complexities: Integration with existing HR and accounting systems can be a major challenge when implementing managed payroll services. Incompatibilities and difficulties in data migration can lead to disruptions and delays. Companies often find that providers like Trinet and ADP require extensive adjustments to their systems, causing unnecessary headaches.

5. Compliance and Regulatory Concerns: Payroll processing must adhere to a web of regulations and compliance requirements. Failure to do so can result in severe penalties. While established players strive to stay compliant, companies sometimes encounter issues when local or industry-specific regulations aren’t adequately addressed.

A New Benchmark: UKG
While the challenges with managed payroll services are evident, there’s a new benchmark emerging in the form of UKG. These providers have gained recognition for their commitment to error-free payroll management:

UKG: With a reputation for precision and personalized solutions, UKG (Ultimate Kronos Group) has positioned itself as a leader in managed payroll services. Its comprehensive platform offers robust integrations and compliance features, helping companies navigate the complexities of payroll effortlessly.

In conclusion, managed payroll services offered by industry giants like Trinet and ADP undoubtedly provide substantial benefits for companies seeking streamlined payroll management. However, challenges such as inaccuracies, lack of personalization, and integration complexities can hinder the experience. As exemplified by UKG, a new era of error-free payroll management is dawning, where companies can confidently process payrolls, knowing that their unique needs are met with precision and care.
