Robyn Beckman
Chief Operating Officer
On a mission to take Payroll back to what matters most: people.
The big tech companies are making it all about software and a quick signup, but they're missing the reason we got into Payroll in the first place.
We help companies automate payroll (and so much more) so HR directors and business owners can spend less time on paperwork, and more time on peoplework.
Give yourself a time raise!
When everything is organized and in one place, everything changes. You can breathe easier, think clearer, and you've got the time it takes to do the important things the right way.
Onboarding
Finding and onboarding the right people is everything! We give you the tools to keep everything organized and give new employees a memorable first impression.
HR Management
Time off, performance reviews, incident reports—it’s all together in one location so you don’t have to sweat the details.
Payroll
Every paycheck out on time and custom processes that route every dollar to the right place.
Labor Management
No more waking up in the middle of the night worrying about employee schedules or time off requests. We've got you covered.
Talk to a real person in 7 seconds
We provide real-life customer support to get you all the integrations, customizations, reports, improvements, bells and whistles you could possibly need.
Our clients know—when we're in the office, we're just a phone call away!
to approve
You've got a lot on your plate!
The last thing you need is software problems. When you run into something new, you can call or email our team and you'll hear from a real person.
No support tickets. No automated messages.
Real Clients. Real Success.

“When we switched to APlus Payroll it significantly decreased our administrative duties. The technology they use was the biggest selling point to us, but it turns out their customer service is even better. From the moment we engaged them they have exceeded our expectations.”
