How efficient is your payroll process — really?

Manual data entry. Off-cycle corrections. Disconnected systems. Benefits deductions that don’t update automatically. Employees who can’t access their own pay stubs without calling HR. Time spent answering paycheck questions every pay period.

Our Payroll Process Efficiency Self-Assessment scores your team across speed and accuracy, system integration, compliance and reporting, and employee experience — and includes a Time Cost Estimator so you can calculate exactly what your current process is costing you in hours and dollars.

isolved People Cloud, offered by Platinum Group, connects every piece of your payroll ecosystem in one platform — eliminating manual steps, reducing errors, and freeing your team to focus on what matters.

Federal employment law is complex. State law adds another layer. And with 20–500 employees, you’re subject to more requirements than you might realize.

FLSA minimum wage and overtime. FMLA leave. I-9 and E-Verify. ACA compliance. EEOC anti-discrimination protections. OSHA safety standards. Required workplace postings. Unemployment insurance. COBRA notices.

Our U.S. Employer’s Compliance Quick Reference Guide summarizes the key federal and state obligations every employer should know — in one clean, easy-to-use document.

isolved People Cloud, offered by Platinum Group, automates key compliance triggers — from new hire reporting and ACA tracking to COBRA administration and required documentation — in one connected platform. Platinum Group’s experts monitor regulatory changes so you don’t have to.

Q: “What are the signs that my current payroll or HR system isn’t keeping up with our growth?”

A: Common signals include increasing payroll errors, longer processing times, frequent manual fixes, limited reporting, or frustrated employees who struggle with outdated tools. If you’re adding locations, expanding headcount, or adopting new pay rules and your current system can’t adapt, it’s a clear indicator you’ve outgrown it.

When HR and payroll start slowing down your organization, causing compliance concerns, or creating extra work, it’s time to look for a more scalable solution.

Wage and hour violations are the #1 source of DOL investigations — and some of the most expensive claims a business can face.

Misclassified exempt employees. Non-exempt workers clocking out but continuing to work. Incorrectly calculated overtime. Pay deductions without proper authorization. Inadequate recordkeeping. Any of these can trigger back pay claims stretching 2–3 years.

Our Wage & Hour Risk Assessment Worksheet helps you identify your risk level across 5 areas: employee classification, overtime tracking, minimum wage compliance, recordkeeping, and state & local requirements.

isolved People Cloud, offered by Platinum Group, automates time tracking, calculates overtime accurately, documents classification decisions, and generates audit-ready payroll reports on demand. Platinum Group’s team provides personalized guidance to address your specific risks.

Q: “Is there an easier way to manage payroll, HR, time, and benefits without using multiple systems?”

A: Yes — a unified HCM platform keeps everything in one place. Instead of separate systems for payroll, HR, time tracking, and benefits, a modern platform connects these functions under one employee record. This creates smoother workflows, eliminates manual syncs, and gives employees one consistent self-service experience.

You gain more accuracy, better reporting, and far fewer administrative headaches.

Every U.S. employer must complete a Form I-9 for every employee hired since 1986. Civil fines for violations range from hundreds to thousands of dollars — per form.

Are your I-9s complete and stored correctly? Are re-verifications tracked before authorization expires? Are terminated employee files being purged on schedule? Is your team ready for an ICE or DOL inspection within 3 business days?

Our I-9 & Employment Eligibility Compliance Checklist covers every section: new hire completion, document review standards, storage and retention, re-verification, E-Verify compliance, and annual audits.

isolved People Cloud, offered by Platinum Group, supports paperless I-9 completion, E-Verify integration, automated expiration alerts, and secure retention — all within one compliant system.
