Payroll and HR Services

Payroll and human resources can quickly become overwhelming when you are managing everything else that goes into running a business. Processing paychecks, administering benefits, and staying current on labor regulations and payroll taxes are time-intensive tasks that require close attention to avoid errors and penalties. At Nichols Accounting, we handle these responsibilities for small to medium organizations by providing accurate payroll processing along with comprehensive HR guidance, so you can keep your team engaged and your operations running smoothly.

Streamlined Payroll Processing

Many companies struggle with payroll processing and timely payroll tax filings. Mistakes in paycheck calculations, tax withholdings, or employee classifications can create frustration for workers and significant liabilities for employers.

Nichols Accounting tackles these issues with a clear, methodical approach. We set up reliable schedules, prepare tax documentation, and manage direct deposits in a consistent manner that reduces confusion and errors. We have both in-house propriatary payroll software and partnerships with best in class solutions like Paylocity. Our team provides the dedicated oversight to ensure that every pay cycle is accurate from start to finish. By emphasizing accuracy and consistency, we free you to concentrate on your strategic goals rather than losing hours to spreadsheets, filings and calculations. 

Comprehensive HR Support

Beyond payroll, businesses often face a variety of human resources tasks that can become increasingly complex as an organization grows. Nichols Accounting provides a wide range of HR services including strategic hiring projects, salary and compensation analysis for key roles, insights and data for job descriptions and organizational structure, employee handbooks, and employee relations consulting, documentation, processes and procedures. These services ensure that your business is compliant and your employees know what to expect.

Whether you are selecting healthcare options or creating overtime policies, we balance your budget with the needs of your workforce. We also keep a close eye on labor laws so you do not have to worry about missing an important regulatory change. By staying informed about new or updated rules at both state and federal levels, we help maintain your compliance and minimize the chance of fines or disputes. Rather than second-guessing wage laws, employee leave regulations, or recordkeeping standards, you will have expert support that keeps you protected.

Proactive Approach to Compliance

Payroll and HR compliance is more than checking off boxes for current guidelines. True protection involves anticipating potential challenges so you can adapt before any deadlines arrive.

We continuously monitor changes to tax codes, healthcare regulations, and workplace standards, ensuring your processes evolve right along with them. When new legislation appears or an existing mandate is amended, we will outline the steps you should take and guide you through any adjustments seamlessly. This proactive mindset applies to record keeping and audits too.
