PAYROLL & HR
Payroll and HR That Just Work
Help your employers eliminate administrative complexity while protecting their business from compliance risk.
THE PARTNER ADVANTAGE
Give Employers Payroll Accuracy That Protects Their Bottom Line – and Yours
Payroll errors are more than an inconvenience; they are a direct threat. According to the TimeTrex Payroll Error Report, 40% of small businesses in the U.S. are penalized each year for payroll errors, facing an average penalty of over $850. For advisors who place coverage, payroll inaccuracies and misclassification issues create downstream liability that touches workers’ compensation ratings, benefits eligibility, and employment law exposure. When you refer an employer to OneDigital HCM, you eliminate that risk at the source.
As a Certified Professional Employer Organization (CPEO), OneDigital assumes the liability for federal employment tax withholding and reporting. This gives your employers ultimate peace of mind and ensures you maintain a cleaner, lower-risk book of business. Because accurate payroll data flows directly into our master workers’ compensation policy, we eliminate audit shock and ensure seamless coverage across every line.
As one of the top 15 HR outsourcing firms nationally—backed by ESAC accreditation, CPEO certification, and SOC 1 audits—OneDigital holds itself to the industry’s highest standards. When your employers are in our hands, it reflects directly on the quality of your counsel.

This connected experience eliminates administrative friction and empowers every level of the organization.
THE COST OF INACTION
The Hidden Risks of “DIY” Payroll + HR
For most small businesses, payroll and HR are more than administrative tasks—they are significant liabilities. Referring an employer to OneDigital HCM helps them mitigate these three documented risks:
- Financial Erosion: Payroll mistakes are expensive. Roughly 40% of small businesses are penalized annually, with average penalties exceeding $850. The compliance burden is growing, as 53% of companies have faced payroll-related penalties in just the last five years.
- The Productivity Drain: Manual payroll administration consumes an average of 21 hours per month. Through OneDigital HCM, we give those 250+ annual hours back to your employers, shifting their focus from paperwork to growth.
- The Talent Risk: Employee trust is fragile; 24% of workers will start job hunting after a single payroll error. Repeated mistakes drive disengagement and turnover. In a competitive market, reliable payroll and professional HR support are the most tangible ways a business demonstrates respect for its people.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR PRACTICE
How We Work for You
A payroll and HR referral to OneDigital strengthens your advisory practice in three meaningful ways.
Employer Retention
Employers whose payroll runs accurately and on time, every time associate that reliability with the advisor who made the introduction. Add expert HR support and training access to that picture, and you become an indispensable part of their operational infrastructure, not just a periodic consultant.
Reduced Liability Exposure
Payroll errors and HR missteps create downstream liability across workers’ compensation, benefits eligibility, tax compliance, and employment law. Professional management of both functions eliminates the most common sources of that exposure, protecting your employers and your own advisory reputation.
Effortless Integration
We handle the complexity; you lead the strategy. OneDigital HCM removes payroll and HR administration from your employers’ plates—and from your meeting agendas. By eliminating these recurring tactical hurdles, we ensure every conversation stays focused on the high-level advisory work where you add the most value.
WHO IT’S FOR
A Good Fit for Your Employers If They Are:
- Spending too much time on manual payroll administration — typically 21 or more hours per month.
- Growing into multi-state payroll complexity and need consistent compliance across every jurisdiction.
- Running payroll across disconnected systems and want a single, integrated solution for payroll, HR, and benefits.
- Have been experiencing payroll errors, compliance penalties, or EEOC claims and want expert support to own the process.
- Need structured HR support — from employee handbooks and job descriptions through to termination assistance and unemployment claims management.
- Want to invest in their workforce through professional training and development without building an internal learning and development function.
- Looking for a single, accountable partner rather than multiple disconnected vendors.
