Payroll & HR Services Built for Arizona Businesses
Shepherd Business Solutions got its start in Phoenix, Arizona — and we still keep local staff in the Valley today. We handle payroll and HR built around Arizona's tax rules, its growing workforce, and the pace of business here.
Started in Phoenix. Still Rooted Here.
Arizona's Flat Income Tax, Set Up Right
Arizona uses a flat state income tax rate, but new hire forms, withholding elections, and local reporting still have to be handled correctly — we set it up once and keep it accurate.
Arizona DES Unemployment Filing
Quarterly unemployment insurance filings with the Arizona Department of Economic Security, submitted on time, every quarter.
Minimum Wage & Local Ordinances
Arizona's minimum wage adjusts annually for inflation, and some Arizona cities set their own local minimums. We track both so your pay rates stay compliant everywhere you operate.
Right-to-Work Compliance
Arizona is a right-to-work state with its own rules around employment agreements — we help structure HR policy to match.
Built for a Fast-Growing Valley
Payroll and HR that scale as fast as Phoenix-metro companies do, from a handful of employees to multi-location teams.
Seasonal Workforce Support
Staffing support for the seasonal population swings that hit Arizona hospitality, retail, and service businesses every year.
A Phoenix-Area Team That Knows Arizona Payroll
Shepherd's roots are in Phoenix, and we still have team members living and working across the Valley today. That means someone who actually knows Arizona handles your account — not a generic national call center.
- New hire reporting to the Arizona New Hire Reporting Center
- Arizona workers' compensation setup and audits
- Multi-city payroll for Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and Glendale
- Direct phone access to an Arizona-based team, not a queue
