We provide payroll funding, payroll processing, and invoicing services. We take certain risks and responsibilities involved with becoming the legal employer of the workers. We are responsible for federal, state, and local payroll taxes. We provide and administer workers’ compensation and other insurance. We are responsible for unemployment claims and other workplace issues. We offer a variety of services to the workers and administer a comprehensive benefits program.

Frontline has workers’ compensation insurance to cover workers in the 8810 class code – office/clerical and office/professional. This classification covers practically any type of work performed in an office setting, e.g., office support staff, secretaries, engineers, finance and accounting professionals, computer programmers and other professionals ONLY. We do not cover any warehouse, light industrial or medical at this time.

Frontline offers a range of benefits and services to the workers. Generally, the cost of benefits is paid by the worker. Available benefits include short and long term health insurance, dental discounts, and vision discounts. Life and other types of insurance are also available. Credit union membership is offered in some states. We do not offer paid time off or vacation time to any workers on payroll status from the client. The client does have the option to pay for holiday and time off if desired.

Frontline can employ workers in every state and in all Canadian provinces except Quebec. As an employer in these locations, it means that we are registered and licensed to do business, withhold and deposit appropriate state and local payroll taxes, insure workers against job site injuries, respond to unemployment claims, and perform other employment related responsibilities. Frontline also becomes responsible for filing annual state corporate tax returns and maintaining compliance with the varying state requirements regarding overtime pay, meal and rest breaks, and all other applicable employment legislation.

Several payment options are available. Usually, workers are paid by direct deposit which is provided without charge. Sometimes, workers prefer to have paychecks mailed to their home address or mailed elsewhere. For those workers who do not have a conventional bank account, we can establish a special ATM account that can accept direct deposit of their paycheck. They are able to access the money via a debit card provided by the Bank of America.

Frontline has several resources available to check client company credit such as Dun & Bradstreet and TRW Experian. All companies are reviewed for annual revenue estimates, number of employees, years in business, and credit rating to determine credit worthiness and recommended credit limits.

Our program is designed to offer you maximum flexibility to operate your business. We are a resource to be used if, as, and when needed. We do not require any minimum amount of business and do not require that we be used exclusively as your sole provider of payroll services.
