Axcet’s payroll team includes payroll administrators who have passed rigorous exams to earn one or more professional certifications that require advanced education and extensive industry experience.

These credentials – which include FPC (Fundamental Payroll Certification) and CPP (Certified Payroll Professional) – indicate high levels of competence and credibility.

At Axcet, we make payroll simple and accurate, ensuring employees are paid precisely what they earn, on time, every time. 

As a certified professional employer organization (PEO), we manage the entire payroll process—handling PTO, benefits deductions, wage garnishments, multi-state taxes and overtime calculations.

Your dedicated payroll administrator provides consistent, personalized support without call centers, ensuring seamless payroll submittal. 

We also handle new hire setups, final paychecks, W-2s and 1095-Cs, with online access to streamline year-end tasks.

ZayZoon’s Earned Wage Access (EWA), also called on-demand pay, is revolutionizing payroll. Employees are no longer bound by traditional weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly or monthly pay periods. 

With on-demand pay, they can access a percentage of the wages they've already earned whenever they want. 

This is a no-cost benefit for Axcet HR Solutions’ clients to adopt through our partnership with ZayZoon. Employees can access a portion of their already-earned wages directly via:

  • Direct deposit
  • Venmo account
  • ZayZoon Gas Card with 5% bonus
  • ZayZoon Instant Gift with hundreds of national brands and up to a 25% bonus

In addition to on-demand pay, employees also have access to free financial education tools, courses and smart insights.

With ZayZoon, payday finally comes with the push of a button. It’s free for employers and takes only 30 minutes to implement.

Our payroll processing services include the ability for clients to quickly analyze payroll data to satisfy both internal and external needs. For example, financial institutions may request wage verification details like base pay, overtime, bonuses and tips. Axcet responds to such requests within 24 hours, ensuring timely support for employees.

Through our Instant Axcet portal, businesses can generate detailed reports such as payroll registers, invoices, and customized reports that can be sorted by gross wages, net pay, benefits and more. 

Clients with multiple business entities can pull targeted reports based on specific companies, allowing for tailored analysis. These reports can be saved as PDFs or exported into spreadsheets for easy sharing.

Specialized reporting, such as job costing and labor distribution, empowers business owners to reduce expenses, develop accurate budgets, increase profitability and set competitive prices for future jobs. Axcet also provides accounting reports that integrate with your general ledger, helping ensure accurate tracking of payroll data.

Additionally, our certified payroll processing team ensures compliance for prevailing wage projects, assisting with proper payouts and reporting, so you never miss a detail.

Employee Access & Technology

When it comes to payroll processing services, the employee experience is vital to satisfaction and retention. Axcet strives to provide the gold standard in service and technology.

Instant Axcet, our employee portal, gives employees access to their pay details, check stubs, benefits, PTO balances and more at any time.

This transparency, along with consistently accurate and timely pay, builds trust and provides employees with autonomy over their payroll-related tasks. 

Through the portal, they can update tax forms, manage direct deposit, print W-2s, and update personal information.

When you partner with Axcet for your small business’ payroll processing services, employee paychecks can take many forms, including pay cards, also known as reloadable debit cards. 

Axcet clients don’t have to build a business case for this option, choose a third-party vendor or manage the relationship. We make this payroll delivery method available as part of our services.

Axcet clients’ new employees enjoy a fully online onboarding process. They simply login to a mobile-optimized dashboard, complete all tax forms, confirm receipt of their employee handbook and enroll in benefits, if eligible.

If employees ever have questions regarding online access, tax withholding and deductions or other issues, your dedicated Axcet payroll administrator can answer them. 

As a leading certified PEO, payroll processing provider, we act as an extension of your HR staff to be a valuable resource for both you and your employees. 

Providing both management and employees the information they need gives everyone more time and energy to focus on their jobs.

Enhanced Payroll Solutions

At Axcet, we understand that successful payroll administration goes beyond just accurate paychecks. That’s why we provide a comprehensive suite of additional payroll processing services to meet the needs of small- to mid-sized companies:

  • Paid Time Off (PTO) Management: We create and manage customized PTO policies, fully integrated with payroll, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
  • Employee Time and Attendance Tracking: Axcet offers various time-tracking tools, including web/mobile clocking and geofencing for location-specific data.
  • Geofencing for Payroll and Taxes: We track employee work locations to ensure accurate tax compliance for multi-location or multi-state businesses.

If these payroll processing tasks sound difficult and time-consuming, it’s because they are. Axcet, a certified PEO and highly qualified payroll processing service provider, is the answer for companies that don’t have the time, expertise and in-house resources to effectively administer payroll.

These smaller businesses trust Axcet with this critical business function so they can concentrate on generating growth and the need for more paychecks.

We are small, and as such, rarely in the eye of a payroll services company. Axcet works with our multiple entities. I want to focus on our business, and they focus on HR for me. Because we are small, I really don't want to have a 'personal' disagreement about PTO or vacation pay, so I set the guidelines, and Axcet manages them, which I love.

We really appreciate the work you are doing for our tradeshow and exhibit display company. The fun part is we get at least an email a day, phone calls every day, and we see the commercials on tv for something that you have taken care of for us last year. (And, of course, it is in the capable IRS hands now.)

Thanks for making this so easy for us.

Turning our admin, payroll, benefits, 401K, workers' compensation, etc., over to Axcet HR has been one of the best decisions that we've ever made: that was back in 2001! We've had 21 great years with Axcet and hope to have 21 more! Axcet has saved us time and LOTS of money but most of all, Axcet HR has allowed us to focus on running our business...because we know, day in, and day out that Axcet has our back!

We've gained business momentum as a result of Axcet's team of dedicated professionals.

Axcet has helped us find affordable benefits for our 15 employees. Being a small firm, it was hard to find various health insurance options. It is nice knowing that we have someone with HR knowledge. It is good to get another persons opinion when we are having employee issues.

I burned through a couple of "payroll companies" before I found Axcet. I have yet to encounter anyone at this company that hasn't been friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Calls are returned amazingly fast and problems are solved without having to make any other calls. This is truly a great company and stellar business partner!

With all the changing rules and regulations we face as employers, I was always afraid of a "Gotcha!" moment. We've been with Axcet over 10 years now and I sleep well at night knowing all our HR is done right. They make it all so easy. Our payroll is accurate, we are legal and OSHA compliant in every area, and my employees love their benefits. Our team at Axcet is more than just a good vendor, they are a great partner!

We had tried two other PEOs. Both of which we left after the first year. The level of service that we were accustomed to with Axcet was not there, so we came back to Axcet truly because of the excellent service we always received. Everyone at Axcet would make us feel like we were their only client, like they were sitting there waiting for our call, always friendly and ready to help.

We started working with Axcet in 2018 and they have dramatically increased our internal productivity. We used to spend hours on payroll, HR, benefits, taxes, etc. each week and that is no longer the case. Prior to Axcet, we worked with two other payroll companies and is was a complete mess. Working with Axcet is like having a robust and efficient internal HR department. They have solutions to every problem and we no longer feel lost trying to navigate the payroll landscape. If you want to streamline your business and get out of the HR and payroll weeds, then go with Axcet.

I really appreciate all the effort put into this to help me stay on course and protect our company.
