Question 1

What is Beacon for private-sector employers?

Accepted Answer

Beacon is an overtime and W-2 compliance overlay that runs alongside existing payroll and HRIS systems to isolate qualified overtime, qualified tips, and jurisdiction-specific pay rules.

Question 2

Does Beacon replace ADP, Paylocity, UKG, Paycom, or Workday?

Accepted Answer

No. Beacon overlays the payroll stack an employer already uses, normalizes pay data, calculates qualifying premium amounts, and returns auditable outputs for payroll, W-2 reporting, and employee visibility.

Question 3

Why does per-pay-cycle Code TT visibility matter?

Accepted Answer

Employees do not experience a year-end W-2 configuration. They experience each paycheck. Beacon can surface the accumulating qualified overtime premium every pay cycle so the above-the-line federal income tax deduction is visible as a total-rewards signal. FICA still applies; this is not a tax-free wage.
