City of Brentwood

Request for Proposal

Payroll Systems

March 2026

General Information

The City of Brentwood (City) is requesting proposals from firms or individuals (Applicant) for providing payroll

processing and human capital management functions.

There is no expressed or implied obligation of the City to reimburse responding applicants for any expenses

incurred in preparing proposals in response to this request.

Background Information

The City of Brentwood has a population of approximately 8,200 in St. Louis County, Missouri and is currently

evaluating needs for the outsourcing of payroll processing and human capital management functions such as

providing a paperless solution for hiring, onboarding, performance evaluations, and offboarding/terminations

including ongoing benefit administration.

An ideal solution would automate many functions of payroll and human resource activities on an intuitive and

easy to use platform while maintaining accuracy and legal compliance for approximately 125 full time

employees and 50 part time employees. In addition to fulfilling the unique aspects of payroll and human

resource requirements, the payroll system will be heavily weighted in evaluation regarding the complexities

of a full-service city with Police, Fire, Recreation, Planning, Court, and Administrative Departments

Scope of Services

The City is searching for a solution that:

Payroll Processing – Timely and accurately processes payroll

Ideally, this involves automation of data collection through an integrated time and attendance platform

as described below. After a process is completed, the system will synthesize a journal entry that

accurately reflects the final payroll process.

Time and Attendance - Captures hours worked in real time to the nearest 15-minute interval.

Preferably, this is achieved by comparing an integrated scheduling solution that would peerlessly

handle time off requests and approvals. This would all be accessible through web browser and/or

app.

Employee onboarding and hiring

Ideally this system would be able to capture employee information during the onboarding process

including tax forms, direct deposit information, and benefit elections. Prior to that, it would assist with

potential hires including allowing a potential employee to enter background information and upcoming

interviews scheduled.

Employee Maintenance

This system will be required to maintain employee pay rates, pay scales, certifications, and job

descriptions. The system will provide this information to the employee in a clear and transparent way

and allow the employee to change information as needed in a self-service style. This system would

be an employee resource hub, and allow flexible workflows for pay change, benefits, and other payroll

and human resources processing . Initial, ongoing, and annual training will be required for any system

and should be expected to be provided at a minimum to ensure best practices are in use.

Benefits Administration

This system would allow for open enrollment events, employee self-service for new enrollment, and

other benefits changes and directly integrate those changes into the payroll processing system.

Employees would also be able to view various benefit vendor documents within benefits

administration.

Performance Management

Ideally, this system would allow management to complete a performance evaluation of subordinates

using job descriptions collected and housed in the employee maintenance portion of the solution. The

system would be capable of email reminders to supervisors of upcoming evaluations and provide an

intuitive and smooth solution for the completion of an effective evaluation.
