About Saeeda Khanam
27+ years of payroll expertise. From ADP headquarters to managing payroll for 6,000+ employees — now bringing that experience directly to your business.
The Professional Behind Payroll Solutions
Founder & Lead Payroll Consultant
Saeeda Khanam's career in payroll began where payroll itself begins — at ADP (Automatic Data Processing) in Sacramento, California, in 1997. Working directly at ADP headquarters gave Saeeda a foundational understanding of payroll systems, tax compliance, and client service that has defined her career ever since.
From ADP, Saeeda went on to build and manage payroll operations across industries that most professionals never touch. At Pick-N-Pull, she completely established in-house payroll from scratch — replacing outsourced processing and single-handedly managing weekly payroll for 500 employees across 23 locations in 6 states. She managed 401K plans, insurance benefits, employee files, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.
Her expertise scaled dramatically at Waste Connections Inc., where as Payroll Supervisor she oversaw weekly and bi-weekly payroll processing for over 6,000 employees across multiple states — one of the largest payroll operations in the Sacramento region. She managed ADP PayForce, E-Time systems, employment verifications, garnishments, severance agreements, and relocation payments.
At Cox Automotive / AutoTrader / DealerTrack, Saeeda served as HR/Payroll Administrator, managing payroll for 600+ permanent employees on bi-weekly and semi-monthly cycles, plus 300+ temporary employees from multiple staffing agencies. She used ADP PayForce, ADP Quickview, ADP PCPW, Hosted Gateway, eTIME, ReportSmith, and SAP.
Saeeda's excellence was formally recognized when she was solely selected from the state of California to receive the ADP World Class Customer Service Award — a distinction that speaks to her dedication, accuracy, and professionalism.
Today, as a Notary Public and member of the American Payroll Association, Saeeda brings this full breadth of experience to every Payroll Solutions client — whether you have 5 employees or 500.

Why Saeeda Founded Payroll Solutions
After 27 years of managing payroll for some of the largest and most complex organizations in California, Saeeda Khanam recognized a critical gap: small and mid-sized businesses were being underserved. They were stuck choosing between expensive enterprise solutions they did not need and budget services that cut corners on accuracy and compliance.
Saeeda saw business owners spending hours on payroll tasks that should take minutes, missing tax deadlines because they did not understand multi-state filing requirements, and overpaying for platforms that treated them as just another ticket number. She had managed payroll for 6,000 employees — she knew she could bring that same level of precision and care to a business with 6.
Payroll Solutions was founded on a simple principle: every business, regardless of size, deserves access to the same caliber of payroll expertise that Fortune 500 companies get. When you work with Payroll Solutions, you work directly with Saeeda — someone who has processed payroll at every scale, on every major platform, across every industry, and who treats your payroll with the same rigor she brought to managing thousands of employees at Waste Connections, Cox Automotive, and SMUD.
