The Payroll Platform Built for Staffing Firms.
BOSS automates onboarding, payroll taxes, direct deposit, client billing, compliance, and reporting, so your team can focus on growth.
More than paychecks
Most payroll companies process paychecks. BOSS manages the operational workflow behind staffing payroll.
Staffing payroll is nothing like standard business payroll. Employees start and finish constantly, work multiple assignments at different rates, and get paid weekly across multiple states, while every hour has to flow through to a client invoice. Generic payroll bureaus were never built for that. BOSS was.

Built for staffing
Staffing payroll is a different sport. We only play this one.
BOSS was built by staffing industry veterans to handle the realities generic payroll providers struggle with.
Weekly payroll
Temp employees expect to be paid every week. BOSS runs high-volume weekly cycles without breaking a sweat, including off-cycle and correction runs.
Rapid onboarding
When a placement starts Monday, paperwork can’t take a week. Digital onboarding gets new hires payroll-ready in hours, not days.
High hiring volume
Hundreds of starts and finishes a month is normal in staffing. The platform is built for constant turnover, rehires, and seasonal surges.
Variable pay rates
One employee, three assignments, three pay rates, three bill rates. BOSS tracks pay and bill at the assignment level automatically.
Job costing
See distributions and data by client, assignment, and recruiter, because payroll and billing live in the same system.
Workers’ compensation
Comp codes tracked at the assignment level, premiums calculated accurately, and audit-ready reporting when the carrier comes calling.
Client-specific billing
Every client bills differently: PO numbers, department splits, custom formats. Invoices follow each client’s rules, generated from approved time.
Branch reporting
Upon request, multi-office firms see performance by recruiter, with commission reporting built in.
Funding coordination
Payroll comes before the client pays. BOSS plans integrate and coordinate payroll funding so cash flow never limits your growth.

Automation
Automation that eliminates busywork.
Most payroll errors come from manual re-entry: the same hours typed into three systems. BOSS captures data once and automates everything downstream, so your team stops chasing paperwork and starts making placements.
Compliance
Less risk. Less administration. More sleep.
Payroll mistakes are expensive. BOSS was built to reduce risk, improve accuracy, and help staffing firms stay compliant across every payroll cycle: federal, state, and local.
Payroll tax compliance
Federal, state, and local taxes calculated, withheld, deposited, and filed, including quarterly filings and year-end reporting.
ACA administration
Eligibility measurement, offer tracking, and reporting handled for a variable-hour workforce.
I-9 & E-Verify
Work authorization verified electronically during onboarding, with documents stored and audit-ready.
Workers’ compensation
Accurate code assignment, premium calculation, and clean audit support: a top risk area for staffing firms.
Multi-state employment
State registrations, SUI accounts, reciprocity rules, and local taxes managed as you place talent in new markets.
Quarterly & year-end
941s, state returns, W-2s, and new hire reporting produced on time, every time, without your team lifting a finger.
