Keep Complex Payroll Simple

Large organizations juggle thousands of employees across multiple departments, states, and pay structures. Our payroll software automates calculations, reduces manual entry, and runs built-in audits to catch errors before they become costly. You can preview your general ledger instantly, streamline wage and tax filing, and handle multiple pay groups, departments, and locations in one platform—so every payroll is accurate, on time, and compliant.

Stay Ahead of Ever-Changing Laws

The bigger your workforce, the more compliance risks you face. From ACA reporting and FLSA rules to Maine-specific laws like Paid Family and Medical Leave, we help you stay aligned with regulations that impact your business. Our system automatically applies wage and tax updates across states and offers tools to manage garnishments, COBRA, and retirement plan eligibility.

But compliance isn’t just about technology—it’s also about education. Paper Trails provides ongoing resources like live webinars, in-depth blog articles, and downloadable guides to keep your team informed on new regulations and best practices. By combining the right tools with proactive education, we help you minimize risk, avoid costly mistakes, and maintain confidence that your business is covered.

Simplify Onboarding, Time Tracking, and Benefits


Managing shifts, overtime, and attendance for hundreds—or even thousands—of employees can quickly become overwhelming. Our workforce management tools give you visibility into labor costs, track hours in real time, and help prevent blended overtime surprises. Remote and hybrid staff can punch in from anywhere, while geo-fenced reporting ensures accountability. Automated alerts for missed punches and overtime help managers correct issues before payroll is processed, keeping your team efficient and productive.

On top of time and attendance tracking, isolved makes benefits administration easier for both HR teams and employees. Self-service enrollment, automated eligibility tracking, and seamless integrations with carriers and retirement providers reduce paperwork and ensure accuracy. By managing benefits alongside payroll and time, you save time, cut errors, and provide employees with clarity and control over their total compensation.

Empower Your Team at Every Level

A strong employee experience is critical to retention—especially in large organizations. With isolved’s Adaptive Employee Experience, employees can onboard into your organization and access pay stubs, PTO balances, and benefits from any device. Built-in collaboration, recognition, and survey tools keep employees connected to company culture and give leaders real-time feedback on engagement.

And because today’s workforce expects growth opportunities, isolved Learn & Grow makes it simple to deliver training and development at scale. With access to 95,000+ courses, personalized learning paths, and gamification tools, employees can continuously build skills while staying compliant with industry requirements.

With our tools, you can monitor turnover trends, forecast hiring needs, and compare compensation benchmarks to stay competitive. Configurable dashboards make it easy to track the KPIs that matter most to your organization, from cost-to-hire to employee tenure. Armed with real-time analytics, you can make faster, smarter decisions that support both compliance and long-term growth.

Protect Your Sensitive Information

Enterprise organizations manage massive amounts of personal and financial data, making security a top priority. Our software is built with multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and SOC 1 Type II audited processes to safeguard your information. Payroll data flows securely across the platform, reducing the risks of re-entry errors and unauthorized access.

At Paper Trails, we take data protection a step further by educating clients on fraud prevention and sharing best practices through our webinars, guides, and alerts. With payroll and HR at the center of your business, you can trust that sensitive information—like wages, tax records, and employee files—is secure, compliant, and always accessible to the right people when they need it.

Enterprise Payroll FAQ's

 

Why outsource payroll?

Outsourcing payroll saves time, reduces errors, and keeps your business compliant with tax laws and labor regulations. Instead of worrying about tax deadlines, changing rules, or complicated pay situations, you can rely on experts who process payroll every day. This frees up business owners and managers to focus on growing the business instead of managing paperwork - often at a fraction of the cost of hiring internal payroll experts.

 

What is enterprise payroll?

Enterprise payroll is the end-to-end process of paying a large, complex workforce accurately and on time—across multiple locations, entities, and states—while staying compliant with wage and hour laws, taxes, benefits, garnishments, and GL rules. It goes beyond cutting checks: think automated audits, multi-state tax handling, role-based controls, deep reporting, and seamless connections to HR, time, benefits, and accounting systems.

 

How can I switch payroll providers?

Switching is straightforward when you follow a clear plan. Pick a go-live date (quarter or year start is ideal, but mid-cycle works); gather essentials (entity info, bank details, pay schedules, employee master data, YTD earnings/taxes, PTO balances, deductions, garnishments, and GL mappings); confirm state/local tax registrations and rates; connect time/attendance, benefits carriers, retirement, and ERP/GL exports; run a parallel payroll and reconcile results; communicate to employees (self-service setup, MFA, pay options); close out your prior provider (final run, tax filings responsibility, report downloads, turn off debits); then go live with post-payroll audits. With Paper Trails, we project-manage the whole transition and do the heavy lifting so your team isn’t stuck in the weeds. Contact our team here to learn more!

 

Does your payroll system integrate with HR processes?

Yes. Our payroll software is part of an integrated HCM stack that connects applicant tracking, time and attendance, benefits administration, learning, performance, and your accounting/ERP. With Paper Trails, data flows securely between systems via APIs and scheduled exports, cutting duplicate entry and ensuring one source of truth for people data, payroll, and reporting.

 

Why is your payroll software unique for larger businesses?

You get the best of both worlds: isolved’s enterprise HCM platform—payroll, time, benefits, recruiting, Predictive People Analytics, Compensation Management, Performance and Learn & Grow—paired with Paper Trails’ local, compliance-first partnership. We configure to your workflows, integrate with the tools you already use, and back it with real humans, proactive education (webinars, blogs, guides), and hands-on onboarding. The result is enterprise-grade capability with the personal support your team actually uses. 

 

What kind of customer support do you offer?

Unlike national providers that route you through 1-800 numbers and call queues, Paper Trails provides direct access to a dedicated support team that knows your business. Enterprise clients work with real people—local experts who understand complex regulations like Maine PFML and multi-state payroll rules. You’ll get live phone support, proactive communication, and ongoing resources like webinars, guides, and blogs, so your team always feels supported without getting lost in a ticket system.

 

How secure is your platform?

isolved, our payroll platform, is SOC 1 Type II audited and built with multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and advanced security protocols to keep sensitive HR and payroll data protected. At Paper Trails, we take security a step further by educating clients on fraud prevention, helping employees set up MFA, and sharing real-time alerts when new risks emerge. You can trust that your payroll and HR information is both secure and accessible only to the right people, when they need it.

What clients are saying about the team at Paper Trails

5-star

We love Paper Trails! Such speedy and personalized service, and everyone who works there is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. We switched to a large national payroll company for one year, and it was the worst decision. As soon as that year was up, we RAN back to Paper Trails. Look no further!!
