Brief History of Solo W-2, Inc.

Solo W-2, Inc. operates from its headquarters in Concord, CA, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1997 as Jerzy, Inc., doing business as Professional Association of Contract Employees (P.A.C.E.), the company has grown steadily and is now recognized as a leader and valuable nationwide provider of premium support services for the contingent workforce. In 2007, we changed our name to Solo W-2, Inc. and re-branded our core services to reflect more accurately the company’s focus on the solo workforce.

		Dynamic compliance files ensure that your qualified independent contractors remain in compliance while working on your projects.

		Compliance testing, dynamic compliance files, conversion to W-2 employment status for non-compliant consultants, payroll tax administration plus a superb employee benefits package for W-2 consultants greatly reduce your exposure to class action lawsuits and claims of worker misclassification.
