Security Payroll Services | Premier Payroll Solutions
We know your world: odd shifts, last-minute call-ins, union rules, multi-state compliance, and razor-thin margins. Our best-in-class software, backed by a responsive local team, turns payroll from a constant worry into something you don’t have to think about at all
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.
From local wage laws to federal labor regulations, security firms walk a fine line. Missing union dues, overtime rules, or certified payroll requirements for government contracts can put valuable client relationships at risk.
Guards often work across multiple sites, sometimes in different states. Tracking hours, assigning the right pay rates, and applying the correct tax rules across locations is one of the toughest challenges for payroll teams in the industry.
Many security firms work under union contracts or city/government projects. That means extra layers of reporting, dues deductions, and compliance documentation, often on tight deadlines.
Security companies are typically paid monthly or even quarterly by their clients, but employees expect weekly or bi-weekly pay. Balancing that gap between receivables and payroll is one of the biggest financial hurdles in the business.
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.
Running a security company comes with challenges that most payroll providers don’t understand. Late-night shifts, changing schedules, multi-state contracts, and high turnover. Premier Payroll’s services are built to solve these problems, so you can focus on protecting your clients, not fixing payroll.
All-in-One Payroll Built for the Security Industry
Hourly guards, site-based pay, armed vs. unarmed rates, we handle every pay variation without confusion. Our platform is designed for how security companies actually work, not how generic payroll providers think you work.
Guards working overnight, weekends, or rotating sites? We make sure every hour is tracked and every payment is delivered on time via secure direct deposit or convenient pay cards.
Labor disputes and compliance issues can cost you contracts. We keep you covered with built-in overtime rules, automatic tax filings, union dues management, and certified payroll reports when you need them.
No more guard calls asking, “Did I get paid?” Everyone on your team can access pay stubs, hours, and tax forms from a mobile-friendly dashboard.
Whether you’re managing a team of full-timers or a revolving door of event staff and contractors, our system keeps it simple. Handle onboarding, terminations, deductions, and filings without lifting a finger.
