Payroll errors aren’t just frustrating—they’re expensive. From miscalculated wages to tax filing mistakes, even small inaccuracies can lead to penalties, compliance issues, and unhappy employees. That’s where partnering with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) like Comploy makes all the difference. Here’s how we help businesses streamline and safeguard their payroll operations.


The Real Cost of Payroll Mistakes

Payroll issues impact more than just paychecks. They can result in:

  • IRS penalties for late or incorrect filings

  • Overpayments or underpayments to employees

  • Poor employee morale and reduced trust

  • Compliance violations at the state or federal level

According to the IRS, nearly one in three small businesses is penalized each year for payroll errors. Avoiding those mistakes isn’t just smart—it’s essential.


What Does a PEO Do, Exactly?

As a PEO, Comploy becomes a co-employer with your business. That means we take on many of the administrative responsibilities associated with HR and payroll—handling the details so you can focus on growing your business.
