The Solo Workforce Story

Our CEO, James R. Ziegler, Ph.D., founded Solo Workforce in 1997 as a way to provide independent-minded solo professionals, like himself, with an ethical, low-cost employer-of-record service.

We began as the Professional Association of Contract Employees.

Originally called the Professional Association of Contract Employees (P.A.C.E.), our company adopted an innovative business model that offers contractors, freelancers and consultants higher, tax-advantaged earnings, exceptional back-office support, and the most comprehensive employee benefits package available to any independent professional anywhere in the United States.

As a thought leader in the field of contingent staffing, Dr. Ziegler has written numerous articles and newsletters, garnering an Internet following and reputation that persists today.
 

We Grew as Solo W-2, Inc.

In 2007, we rebranded the company as Solo W-2, Inc., reflecting our commitment to provide independent-minded contract professionals with elite corporate employment. Hence, the name: Solo W-2, Inc.

We also expanded our business model to offer a comprehensive umbrella of services for all stakeholders in the solo workforce. Our focus had broadened but the evolution of our company was not over yet.
 

And We Expanded Further to Become Solo Workforce

Focusing on the entire solo workforce is what makes our company unique. So, in 2013, we unveiled our new name, Solo Workforce. While our name has changed over the years, our commitment to providing unparalleled service and value to all stakeholders in the solo workforce remains the same.
