Employer of Record & Payroll Services

Headcount redefines how you work with your clients on their temporary assignments.

As the legal Employer of Record, we are responsible for time collection, issuing payroll checks, submitting local, state, and federal payroll taxes and assuming other employment related responsibilities such as providing workers’ compensation insurance coverage, general liability insurance and, in some cases, professional liability (errors & omissions) coverage. Headcount also manages all HR functions and offers supplemental health benefits.

In every assignment, personnel, length of assignment and pay scale are defined by the staffing agency or recruiter. Headcount provides a dedicated team to work with these temporary and contract employees to ensure each has a support structure  (diagram) that includes your firm and the Client Company. Our streamlined approach (link to david diagram) of balancing day to day human interaction with our back office technology allows for a more enhanced personal relationship without the human errors often associated with the payroll process. 

If your firm prefers to act as the Employer of Record and would like Headcount to handle the remaining back office functions, those services are also available.

In short, Headcount customizes its service to fit the solution that will work best for you.

Headcount employs workers in both clerical and non-clerical positions throughout the U.S. and Canada.  With Headcount, offering clients the ability to expand their contract business is limitless, as you no longer need to worry about workers comp codes, funding, expanding existing insurance coverage or geographic boundaries.

With roots in staffing and recruiting, we understand the importance of knowing how to price each assignment correctly. Understanding the nuances of temporary and contract assignments is vital - if an assignment is not priced correctly, a staffing and recruiting firm may lose money. Headcount's flat fee pricing allows staffing and recruiting firms to understand their costs and profit margins, making it easier to price projects profitably while using less internal overhead with less headaches for management.

At Headcount, we handle all the funding, billing, payroll and HR while your firm focuses on recruiting, making placements and enhancing client relationships. This combined with our understanding of how important it is to elevate the employee experience, for both the temporary staff and Client Company, makes partnering with Headcount a winning combination.
