With the fastest payroll support in the world.

Robyn Beckman
Chief Operating Officer
On a mission to take Payroll back to what matters most: people.
The big tech companies are making it all about software and a quick signup, but they're missing the reason we got into Payroll in the first place.
We help companies automate payroll (and so much more) so HR directors and business owners can spend less time on paperwork, and more time on peoplework.
Give yourself a time raise!
When everything is organized and in one place, everything changes. You can breathe easier, think clearer, and you've got the time it takes to do the important things the right way.
Onboarding
Finding and onboarding the right people is everything! We give you the tools to keep everything organized and give new employees a memorable first impression.
HR Management
Time off, performance reviews, incident reports—it’s all together in one location so you don’t have to sweat the details.
Payroll
Every paycheck out on time and custom processes that route every dollar to the right place.
Labor Management
No more waking up in the middle of the night worrying about employee schedules or time off requests. We've got you covered.
Talk to a real person in 7 seconds
We provide real-life customer support to get you all the integrations, customizations, reports, improvements, bells and whistles you could possibly need.
Our clients know—when we're in the office, we're just a phone call away!
to approve
You've got a lot on your plate!
The last thing you need is software problems. When you run into something new, you can call or email our team and you'll hear from a real person.
No support tickets. No automated messages.
Real Clients. Real Success.

“APlus payroll has helped me as a Benefits Manager bring our company into the new century with Online Benefits Enrollment and the gals I work with, Nell, Jessica, and Penny, are amazing. I’d recommend APlus to anyone looking for a beautifully designed payroll software that can handle certified payroll, multi-level benefits profiles, and oh so much more.”
“My organization was using APlus Payroll in 2011 when I started working for them. Over the last nine years, this company has simplified my job duties with check writing, payroll reports, and filing tax documents. I don’t need to worry about tax deadlines or tax laws changing because they take care of everything. Robyn is very knowledgeable in her field and goes the extra mile to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend their payroll services.”
“Sunbelt has been working with APlus Payroll for four years now. They have made our payroll process so much more efficient. In our business we are required to submit certified payroll reports on our jobs and APlus Payroll has made the process of compiling this information so much easier. I appreciate the fact that they will enter our payroll when I am on vacation. Brian, Walker and Penny are so helpful and answer my questions immediately. I have never had…
“When we switched to APlus Payroll it significantly decreased our administrative duties. The technology they use was the biggest selling point to us, but it turns out their customer service is even better. From the moment we engaged them they have exceeded our expectations.”
