Payroll Solutions

Hiring managers often identify and source contingent workers directly, but are not sure how to safely engage them. Populus Group offers Professional Payroll and engagement services for both W2 workers and 1099 independent contractors.

Employer of Record(EoR) - W2 Payroll Services

The Populus Group's EoR service provides our clients with a full Employer of Record/W2 engagement for their contingent workers. We manage all areas of the engagement from hiring, background screening and payroll processing as well as providing benefits and insurance.

Agent of Record (AoR) - 1099 / Corp-to-Corp Payment Services

Populus Group's AoR service line provides an Agent of Record for compliant independent contractors. This ensures increased protection against potential contractor misclassification issues while simultaneously reducing the administrative costs of dealing directly with multiple independent contractors. We incorporate all contracting, invoicing and payment services for properly classified ICs, enabling you to outsource the administration of contractor engagements.
