PrimePay CEO touts Depot deal

West Chester, Pennsylvania-based PrimePay has been as the payroll and tax services provider for the Home Depot Pro Xtra Loyalty Program.

PrimePay will serve the Pro Xtra program’s 1.7 million professional contractors and tradesmen across 2,200 stores nationally; providing a customized solution that will ensure accurate compensation; stringent record-keeping; and compliance with all federal, state and local tax laws, the company said. 

“The post-recession construction boom is driving new business and new challenges for the millions of contractors across the nation,” said William J. Pellicano, CEO at PrimePay.

Pellicano said about 12,000 pros join the Home Depot Pro Xtra program every week. The pros are “seeking new ways to ease the administrative burdens that accompany an uptick in business.”

Home Depot is currently upgrading the Pro Xtra program to offer members more exclusive business tools. PrimePay joins several carefully selected service providers as part of the Pro Xtra program’s new Professional Services offering, which includes services from payroll to digital marketing to OSHA safety.
