Last month, we shared some important news: All Heritage Group employees* – salaried and hourly – will move onto the same biweekly payroll cycle at the beginning of 2024. Here’s a more detailed look at when it will happen, along with some resources that will help you prepare for the transition.

When Will Paychecks Arrive?



First things first – when will the new pay cycle begin, and when will you be paid? Here are the dates you need to know:

Frequently Asked Questions

With so much connected to your pay – everything from federal taxes to benefit premiums and 401(k) deductions – we know there will be a lot of questions. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive FAQ to help you find answers. This document drills down into some of the most common concerns people have shared about the pay schedule changes.

Understanding the Why

Now you know when, but you may still be wondering why we're making these changes to pay schedules now. Here is why it's so important that all employees are on the same pay cycle.

A lot of our growth over the last 92 years has come from purchasing other great family-owned companies. Growing this way has created a complex payroll system that needs constant, near-daily operation. That leads to inefficiencies – and creates opportunities for error – in how people get paid. 

We face fierce competition for great people. If we want to continue to attract and retain the best talent as we grow, it’s important that pay is accurate. Standardizing our pay schedule aligns us with industry best practices and aims to make your pay more consistent, reducing the likelihood of errors.

Streamlining our approach to payroll isn’t just a smart move today. It lays the groundwork for growth and success for generations to come. All our employees – today and long into the future – are better served when payroll is efficient and scalable.

We’re committed to supporting you through this transition. That’s why we’ve put together resources and support on the Total Rewards & Benefits Portal. If you're enrolled in a THG benefits plan, we’re also paying your medical benefit premiums during the first pay period after the transition to put a little more money in your pocket as you adjust to the updated schedule.
