Checkright

Checkright gives small and mid-size businesses a real alternative to the giant national payroll companies, and a smarter option than trying to manage payroll in-house. Founded in Richmond, Virginia in 2010, the company has spent more than a decade building a track record on accurate tax filing, personal service, and back-office technology that business owners can actually use without a dedicated HR team to run it. The core service is payroll processing, including federal and state tax filings in all 50 states, direct deposit, pre-sealed paper checks, and an employee portal for pay stub access. Outsourcing payroll to Checkright also removes the compliance risk of a constantly changing tax landscape, since the company files all returns, makes all tax payments, and guarantees their accuracy and timeliness. Beyond payroll, Checkright offers a full HRIS/HCM platform built on Kronos Workforce Ready, the only partner for that system in the state of Virginia. That platform covers the complete employee lifecycle, from applicant tracking and electronic onboarding to time and attendance management, online benefits administration, and ACA compliance filings, including electronically filed 1094 and 1095 forms, for applicable large employers. Checkright works with businesses ranging from one to 600 employees, serving clients throughout the country and currently processing payroll in over 40 states. In its first decade of operation, the company added more than 500 clients and processed more than half a million paychecks. One long-standing client, the owner of a multi-location restaurant group, started with Checkright when he had two locations and has stayed as the business grew to more than 500 employees across 12 locations. What separates this back-office outsourcing provider from the large national players is a direct, personal service model. Every client has access to a Certified Specialist who knows their account, not a rotating support queue. The platform also operates as a single sign-on, single-database system, so payroll, time tracking, and benefits all live in one place rather than requiring constant data exports between disconnected applications. Full mobile functionality lets employees check pay stubs, clock in and out, and manage time-off requests from any device. For business owners ready to stop managing payroll themselves, or frustrated with being treated like a number by a large provider, Checkright offers a custom quote based on company size, pay frequency, and service scope.
