Payroll
Payroll is more than paying people. We run the payroll, file the payroll taxes and keep the records straight, so the deadlines stop being your problem.
Running payroll
We run payroll on QuickBooks Online Payroll, which keeps your payroll and your books in the same place instead of two systems that have to be reconciled against each other.
We prepare payroll and third-party checks, initiate direct deposits and make electronic tax payments. Pay types are handled as they come: salary, hourly, multiple pay rates, bonuses, tips, commissions, expense reimbursements and holiday pay.
Voluntary deductions are covered too — medical, dental and vision premiums, retirement plans, flexible spending accounts, and cash advance or loan repayments.
Payroll tax filings
We prepare and file quarterly payroll tax returns, handle federal and state deposits, and take care of year-end filings and W-2s.
New hire reporting, employer registration forms, W-4s and I-9s are part of the service. If you have employees in more than one state, we handle multi-state payroll tax payments and filings.
Time clock and employee hours
Automatic time tracking calculates total hours worked, including overtime, and applies state and federal overtime and double-time rules so the arithmetic is not yours to check.
Employees enter their own hours online, which removes the double entry, and automatic reminders go out when timesheets are due. Hours flow straight into payroll, so nothing is re-keyed.
Reports and garnishments
You get standard and customised payroll reports — tax liability, tax and wage summaries, total pay, workers' compensation, vacation and sick leave, and per-employee detail.
We also generate workers' compensation audit reports and handle wage garnishments.
Frequently asked questions
What do you need to get started?
Your company and employee information, plus your payroll history for the current year if you have any. Call us and we will go through your payroll requirements.
Can I switch payroll providers mid-year?
Yes. We can pick up your payroll at any point in the year, as long as you have records of the payroll already run.
Do employees get online access to their pay stubs?
Yes. Employees get secure online access to their pay stubs and their year-end W-2, so they are not asking you for copies.
Does payroll connect to my bookkeeping?
Yes. Payroll runs through QuickBooks Online Payroll, so the payroll entries post straight into your QuickBooks Online books. Nothing is re-keyed and nothing drifts out of sync.
What happens with W-2s at year-end?
We create the W-2 forms for you and your employees, and we file them with the Social Security Administration.
How do I stay on top of my payroll details?
We provide a set of reports covering tax liability, wages, total cost and per-employee detail, so you can see where payroll stands without digging for it.
