Payroll Matters

Payroll is one of the most complex, nuanced and unsung aspects of a law firm’s business, where nothing short of perfection is acceptable and anything less affects the morale of staff and partners alike. Yet while law firms continually strive to improve efficiency and streamline processes, payroll and HR Operations seldom receive much attention. Not so at 4L, where we believe midsize law firms benefit from technology-enabled HR and payroll solutions that help reduce administrative burden, improve efficiency, lower costs and enhance the employee experience.

Not all approaches to payroll and HR are the same. 4L routinely designs special protocols to meet the unique requirements of staff, associate, counsel and partner payrolls – whether based on hourly, salary, formula or piecemeal compensation arrangements – all against the framework of multi-state employment laws and tax protocols.

4L’s payroll and HR experience and efficiency enable law firm managers to focus on the many other challenges that typically dominate their time.

4L’s primary partner for HR and payroll platforms is ADP with ADP Workforce Now (WFN) and ADP TotalSource® as a Professional Employer Organization (PEO). ADP Workforce Now® is ADP’s flagship HCM platform, designed to help organizations manage payroll, HR, benefits, time, talent and HR compliance through a unified solution.
