About Our Firm


Employee Retention Solutions was founded because simply put SMB’s need better service and solutions for Payroll, Benefits and Wealth.

Have you ever thought of Payroll as Technology? Most don’t. We view our Payroll service as a choice in Technology based on the needs of the business. The technology today offers Enrollment, an LMS, Online Engagement, Benefits Administration, Data Analytics, Talent Management, and last but certainly not least Payroll. Today’s Technology integrates with your 401k and Benefits provider. Integrated technology means less review and fewer mistakes. Engagement and Investment create TRANSPARENCY, which builds trust.

What do we mean by making Employee Retention Solutions the “Boutique Solution” of Payroll, Benefits, and Retirement? It’s simple, SERVICE the hell out of it. Do as much as we possibly can for the client ourselves. Remove roadblocks from the Payroll companies. Using our technology, anticipate enrollment, talk to employees, service employees, and EDUCATE employees. Provide updates on HR Law in real terms. Always welcome feedback and FIX it when there is an issue. This is our promise to our customers, to simply be the best we can be and always strive to be better.

ERS is powered by RDG.  What does that mean?  John Rizzo had a vision.  He wanted a company that could service his client in the areas of Payroll, Benefits and Wealth.  He brought on Kate Kenney and Shaun Anderson to run it.  That was how Employee Retention Solutions was born.
