The Future of Payroll Starts Now
Thank you for your continued patience—we truly appreciate it.
After years of planning, OMS began preparing in 2025 to transition our entire payroll operation to a new platform. This upgrade is moving hundreds of small businesses from our legacy system, OMSpays, to a more modern, cloud-based solution: OMS HRGeek.
As we work through each transition, our team is focused on supporting every request as efficiently as possible. Because each client’s payroll setup is unique, most accounts require some level of customization and fine-tuning to ensure everything runs exactly as expected. This process involves careful data migration and testing, with final adjustments completed once accounts are live.
If you experience any issues during your migration, please know that our team is committed to resolving them quickly. Your business is important to us, and we’re here to ensure a smooth transition.
Our goal with this upgrade is to enhance the value you receive from OMS by providing expanded capabilities, improved speed, and the optional self-service model for those who want to run their own payroll.
Here are some of the new features planned for late 2026 / early 2027:
Integrated Add-On Features:
Included Features at No Additional Cost:
Please keep a lookout for emails from alerts@myhrgeek.com before, during, and after your migration. These system-generated messages will include important updates and information.
Thank you again for your patience—we’re excited to bring you what’s next.

DOL Issues Proposed Rule Revising Prevailing Wage Methodology for H-1B, PERM Visa Programs
The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) published a proposed rule to change how prevailing wages are calculated for employers seeking to hire foreign workers under H-1B, H-1B1 and E-3 visa programs and permanent labor certification under the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programs for EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based visa programs. The 60-day comment period for the DOL’s proposed rules ends on May 26, 2026.
