Security Firms Face Unique Problems When It Comes To Payroll

Security is a 24/7 business. With overnight shifts, weekend rotations, and last-minute call-ins, payroll errors are easy to make. Miscalculating overtime or missing shift differentials doesn’t just upset employees, it can cause compliance violations.

Every time your fleet crosses a state line, new wage and tax rules apply. One mistake can lead to heavy penalties. Staying compliant with DOT regulations and shifting state laws is one of the toughest hurdles for trucking payroll teams.

The trucking industry experiences one of the highest turnover rates in the U.S. Constantly onboarding new drivers, managing part-time staff, and offboarding those who leave makes payroll a never-ending administrative burden.

Tracking reimbursements for meals, lodging, tolls, and per diem allowances adds another layer of complexity. Without accurate systems, reimbursements can be delayed or mishandled, frustrating drivers and creating compliance risks

Freight invoices can take weeks to pay out, while drivers expect weekly or bi-weekly pay. Balancing cash flow between slow receivables and frequent payroll runs is one of the industry’s biggest financial challenges.

Not every payroll provider is equipped to handle them

The unique demands of guard schedules, compliance, and client contracts create obstacles that most generic providers simply aren’t built to handle.
