We conduct in-depth audits and implement system-wide improvements to ensure full compliance with tax regulations, wage and hour laws, and jurisdictional requirements. Services include tax configuration reviews, income withholding automation, and forensic payroll analysis in support of audits or litigation. The goal is simple: reduce risk, resolve issues, and prevent costly penalties—before they happen.

Organizational change can disrupt even the most stable payroll systems. ECC acts as a dedicated project manager during mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures—coordinating with internal and external stakeholders to harmonize processes, timelines, and data. From historical recordkeeping to unemployment tax strategies and pay schedule alignment, ECC ensures a compliant, coordinated, and calm transition.

Choosing the right payroll platform is a high-stakes decision. ECC guides organizations through every stage of system evaluation—from assessing current platform performance to leading a structured RFP process. We define requirements, develop RFIs and RFPs, evaluate vendor proposals, and provide client-side project management to ensure final selections are strategic, cost-effective, and aligned with business goals.

ECC supports every phase of the payroll function—designing, documenting, and improving the systems and teams behind it. Services include department staffing design, role clarification, training development, custom reporting, and operational updates like pay period changes or new rewards programs. ECC ensures your payroll infrastructure is not only compliant, but scalable, sustainable, and built to lead.
