About Payroll Network

Payroll Network is a Rockville, Maryland-based PEO and payroll services provider founded in 1997, serving small and mid-sized businesses in the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond. The company offers co-employment services, payroll processing, employee benefits, and HR compliance with particular expertise serving government contractors and nonprofit organizations in the DC metro area.

Certification Status

Not IRS CPEO Certified

Payroll Network does not currently hold IRS CPEO certification. This does not necessarily indicate a problem — many reputable PEOs operate without it. We recommend verifying their financial stability, NAPEO membership, and state licensing directly.

✓
Regional market knowledge
Genuine understanding of the Mid-Atlantic business environment including professional services, government contracting, and technology sector HR needs.

−
Cons
−
Geographic focus
Payroll Network is optimized for the Mid-Atlantic region. Businesses with significant operations outside Virginia, Maryland, and DC may find national PEOs better suited.
−
Smaller benefit pool
Regional scale limits the employee pool compared to national PEOs, which can affect health insurance pricing for some coverage types.
PEO Authority Editorial Note

Payroll Network is a strong regional choice for businesses in the Virginia, Maryland, and DC corridor. Their Mid-Atlantic expertise is particularly valuable for businesses navigating the complex compliance environment of the DC metro area, including government contractor HR requirements. Businesses outside the Mid-Atlantic region should evaluate national alternatives for better geographic coverage.
