New service offerings provide organizations with flexible payroll, employer-of-record and workforce solutions designed to support every stage of growth.

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 23, 2026 / Suna Solutions (Suna) has expanded its payroll services portfolio to provide organizations with greater flexibility in how they manage employment, payroll administration and workforce compliance. As workforce models continue to evolve, organizations face increasingly complex decisions around employer responsibility, payroll operations, compliance obligations and employee benefits. A single workforce solution no longer meets the needs of every organization or every stage of growth.

Suna's payroll portfolio now includes three distinct service offerings: EssentialEOR, FlexEOR and Payroll Direct. Each solution is designed to support different workforce objectives while providing clarity around employer responsibility, compliance management and benefits strategy.

By formalizing these offerings within a unified portfolio, Suna enables organizations to select the workforce model that best aligns with their hiring needs, operational structure and long-term talent strategy.

"Today's workforce decisions extend far beyond payroll processing," said Amy Diehl, Director of People Operations at Suna. "Organizations need clarity around employer responsibility, compliance requirements and the employee experience they want to create. By clearly defining these three service models, we're giving clients the flexibility to choose the solution that best supports their business goals instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all approach."

EssentialEOR: Flexible, Compliant and Built for Speed

Formerly Suna's standard employer-of-record offering, EssentialEOR now serves as a dedicated solution within the company's workforce services portfolio. Under this model, Suna acts as the employer of record, assuming responsibility for payroll administration, tax filings, employment compliance and workforce administration.

EssentialEOR is designed for organizations that need to hire quickly while minimizing administrative complexity and compliance risk. The model is particularly well suited for project-based hiring, seasonal workforce needs, temp-to-hire programs, internship initiatives and regulated industries requiring structured employment support.

With streamlined benefits, compliant onboarding and efficient payroll administration, EssentialEOR provides a cost-effective solution for short-term and variable-duration employment arrangements while allowing organizations to remain focused on business operations.

FlexEOR: Designed for Long-Term Workforce Investment

For organizations focused on employee retention, workforce stability and competitive talent acquisition, FlexEOR extends Suna's employer-of-record services to support long-term employment strategies.

Under FlexEOR, Suna remains the employer of record while providing employees access to enhanced healthcare options and an employer-sponsored retirement savings program. The model is ideal for permanent placements, multi-state and remote teams, executive hires and specialized roles where attracting and retaining talent is a strategic priority.

FlexEOR combines compliant employer-of-record infrastructure with a more robust benefits offering, enabling organizations to deliver a competitive employee experience without increasing administrative burden. By supporting both workforce growth and long-term retention objectives, FlexEOR helps companies build and sustain high-performing teams in competitive labor markets.

Payroll Direct: Employer Control Without Payroll Complexity

Payroll Direct represents Suna's expansion into structured payroll administration for organizations that wish to retain employer-of-record status while outsourcing payroll execution and compliance support.

This model supports foreign-based companies entering the U.S. market, as well as small- and medium-sized businesses throughout the United States and Canada seeking to outsource payroll administration. It is also designed for distributed teams and growing organizations that need scalable payroll support without the cost and complexity of building internal payroll infrastructure. Clients remain the employer of record while Suna manages payroll processing, compliance support and administrative execution.

In addition to payroll administration, Payroll Direct provides access to HR advisory support to help organizations navigate workforce challenges, employment best practices and compliance considerations. This added layer of guidance gives clients access to experienced HR professionals without the expense of building a full internal HR function, making the solution particularly valuable for growing businesses and organizations expanding into new markets.

Payroll Direct supports payroll administration and HR advisory services across both the United States and Canada, providing organizations with a streamlined solution for managing North American payroll while maintaining employer-of-record status.

"Payroll Direct provides operational structure without transferring employer liability," Diehl added. "It allows companies to maintain full employment authority while eliminating the burden of building payroll infrastructure internally."

By separating employer responsibility from payroll administration, Payroll Direct creates structure without transferring employment liability.

A Structured Framework for Workforce Design

Together, these offerings provide clear options:

• EssentialEOR for flexible, project-based hiring

• FlexEOR for permanent employment with enhanced benefits

• Payroll Direct for employer control with outsourced payroll administration

In addition to supporting workforce needs throughout the United States and Canada, Suna can support employment and workforce solutions in more than 187 countries through its global partner network, giving organizations the flexibility to scale their workforce confidently around the world.

This expanded portfolio builds on Suna's strengthened People Operations foundation, ensuring that as service lines grow, governance, compliance and employee experience scale alongside them.

By defining these service offerings, Suna reinforces its commitment to compliant, scalable workforce solutions that adapt to changing hiring demands.

As organizations continue to rethink workforce strategies, Suna will continue investing in scalable payroll, employer-of-record and workforce management solutions that help clients hire with confidence while reducing administrative complexity.
