The typical engagement

A senior consultant in the kickoff. A project manager at the design phase. Someone two years out of school writing the actual code. The senior person signs off at go-live — and rolls off. Your team inherits work they don't understand.

How JHR works

The person who takes your call is the person who builds the interface, writes the report, runs the parallel test, and writes the documentation your team actually uses. One practitioner. Every engagement.

Practice areas

Four areas where
the work gets done.

Interface development

File-based and API-driven payroll integrations built for accuracy, auditability, and clean reconciliation — general ledger, benefits carriers, state tax reporting, bank transmission, positive pay, and third-party HR systems. The ones that quietly fail every two weeks until someone fixes them properly.

Report writing

Custom and standard reporting across payroll, HCM, and compliance — PS Query through complex SQR and BI Publisher layouts. Union-specific pay statements, payroll registers, garnishment summaries, and year-end deliverables. Work that backlogs in most teams because the senior person is busy running payroll.

SQR BI Publisher PS Query nVision

Payroll processing

Hands-on support across the full cycle — parallel testing, go-live, off-cycle runs, supplemental payrolls, and ongoing operations. Audit checkpoints and exception reporting included. Ideal for teams covering a leave, a gap, or a go-live window that needs a senior set of eyes.

Parallel testing Go-live Off-cycle Year-end / W-2 PNA

Compliance & configuration

Multi-state tax configuration, wage and hour analysis, payroll table setup, and audit-ready documentation. For organizations that need a practitioner who understands the regulations, not just where the fields are. Year-end engagements, tax update applies, and customization cleanup also available.

Why it matters

When you engage JHR, you work with the principal — from the first call to the final deliverable.

No handoffs. No junior substitutions. No project manager between you and the person doing the work. The economics of large consulting firms require leverage — many junior hours for every senior one. Payroll work resists that model. A bad interface fails every two weeks. A misconfigured earnings code shows up on every pay stub until someone notices.

About the practice
01

Senior judgment, senior hands

The person who scopes the work is the person who builds it, validates it, and writes the documentation. Not a relay team.

02

Fixed scope, no surprises

Milestone-based, priced to the deliverable. You know exactly what you're getting and when. Scope creep is discussed, not absorbed silently.

03

Documentation that survives

Every engagement ends with documentation your team can actually use. Written for the person who has to maintain it — not checked off as an afterthought.

04

Honest about fit

Not every problem belongs here. The first conversation is also a fit conversation. You'll get a clear answer either way — within one business day.

How it works

Scoped, priced, and delivered.

Intake

Describe the system, the deliverable, and the timeline. No intake form. Thirty minutes, no deck, no pitch — a working conversation.

Scope

A short written summary within a few days — scope, timeline, fee, validation criteria. Nothing aspirational.

Build

The actual work, built and tested in your environment with your data. You're talking to the builder, not a relay.

Hand off

Documentation written for your team, a knowledge-transfer session, and a post-go-live check-in. Then it's yours.

Project engagements and extended retainer arrangements available. Retainers are ideal for processing coverage, ongoing report delivery, or year-end support.

Senior judgment and hands-on execution have to live in the same person. That's the whole premise.

The firm's practice is built on direct, hands-on PeopleSoft HCM and Payroll work. Experience formed through enterprise-level engagements at Accenture — a world-class organization where the standard for precision on complex payroll implementations is set high. J.H. Randolph & Co. takes that same standard and applies it as an independent practice — which means senior expertise applied directly, with full accountability on every engagement.

Tell me what
you're building.

Describe the system, the deliverable, and the timeline. Initial conversations are direct, held in confidence, and not billed. Proposals follow a brief intake — no RFP required.

Correspondence is typically returned within one business day. Where possible, include the platform version, the nature of the work, and the target go-live or delivery date.
