ZORN Payroll Services: What We Handle

Payroll Processing

We set weekly, bi-weekly, or semi-monthly calendars, accept imports, preview registers for approval, and finalize payroll with dependable funding windows. Off-cycle runs and corrections are handled without disrupting your cadence.

Pay Delivery

Direct deposit is standard, with checks on demand when needed. Employees access digital pay stubs and year-end forms from a secure portal, cutting down on “Can you resend my W-2?” requests.

Deductions & Garnishments

Benefits deductions are mapped with correct pre-/post-tax rules. We administer child support orders, tax levies, and loan repayments, and keep agency notices organized so nothing slips.

Accruals & Time

We configure PTO accrual logic (tenure tiers, carryover, caps) and integrate time & attendance to enforce overtime rules, meal breaks, and job costing where needed.

Controls & Audits

Rate-change approvals, exception reports, and audit logs help catch mistakes before they become corrections. Role-based permissions keep access tight and accountable.

Connect HR tech and time systems for single-source accuracy. We map labor distribution to your general ledger, deliver custom reports and exports, and provide dashboards leaders can scan at a glance.

Compliance & Risk Controls

We confirm worker classifications, multi-state setup, wage-hour alignment, and document retention. Proactive checks reduce penalties, back-pay exposure, and audit stress.

Reporting & Visibility

Standard and custom reports cover payroll registers, labor distribution, PTO balances, and GL postings. Leadership dashboards show totals, variances, and trends—so you can spot issues before they hit the books.
