Your Payroll & HR Partner in Cobb County
Marietta is the heart of Cobb County — home to Dobbins Air Reserve Base, WellStar Health System, Lockheed Martin, and hundreds of growing small businesses. Whether you're a contractor working on the Marietta Square restoration, a restaurant near the Big Chicken, or a professional services firm near Cumberland — you need a payroll provider who understands Georgia's compliance requirements and can scale with you.
BlueWave HR is based in Canton, GA — about 30 minutes from downtown Marietta via I-75. We've been serving metro Atlanta businesses for 10 years, and Cobb County is one of our fastest-growing service areas.
Cobb County Compliance Essentials
Marietta and Cobb County employers need to know:
- No Cobb County local income tax — but nearby Fulton County does have one, so multi-county employers need careful tracking
- Georgia's flat income tax is now 5.19% (down from 5.49%) with a path to 4.99% — withholding tables must be updated (read our guide)
- Workers' compensation required for 3+ employees — classification codes vary significantly for construction vs. office workers
- New hire reporting — 10-day deadline to the GA DOL (DOL-626 is now digital-only)
- OBBBA overtime deduction — new W-2 Box 12 Code TT reporting required for overtime (learn more)
