TPC Blog

Founded in 2001 in Springfield, Missouri, TPC was initially just a payroll processor—the guys who made prepping for payday easy. Our objective was to handle the minutiae of all things payroll so that business leaders could maintain focus on their company. In fact, that’s where our name comes from... The Payroll Company.

However, as our customer base grew, we saw where we could fill a greater need to best serve our clients and help them in all parts of team building, management, and retention. Payroll is, after all, just one part of the human resource process. So TPC grew as well, becoming a partner that provided More Than Payroll, but rather the full shebang.

Today, TPC is a one-stop-shop for businesses. We help you recruit top talent, onboard new hires, develop training programs, and enhance company culture so people never want to leave. Additionally, TPC handles all the confusing and ever-changing employment laws, assorted legalese, taxes, and mandatory reporting documents. We are your full-service HR department... just a phone call away.

So after 20 years of proudly serving businesses of all kinds, we have taken a moment to reflect on what sets TPC apart:

We Treat People Right

We believe in treating people right. This means that as a company, we have and will continue to treat our employees well and in turn have a low turnover rate. As a result, our customers will most likely work with the same person throughout your interaction with our company. 

One of our core beliefs is also in answering our phones. Like, actually answering our phones. When you call in with a question or concern, you can expect to be talking to an actual person. No robots here! We want to interact with each of our customers to ensure they receive the very best customer service possible. We also hire only the best, in terms of expertise and skill levels, which means if you have a question, we likely have the answer.

We Utilize Advanced Technology to Help Your Business

We understand that the thought of calling a provider with a question about some type of technological service or function can be confusing, intimidating and it for sure can waste time. Our team still remains committed to treating your time with respect. We will work to assist you as you incorporate software into your business systems. We take care of issues for you and are happy to answer any questions dealing with the technological integration of our systems. It’s no longer your problem!
