Why would I want to use a payroll service?
There are many reasons. Taxation, withholding, healthcare deductions, and their ever
changing regulations can create a dangerous liability. The time and expense required for a
business to stay on top of this chore can quickly consume resources better directed to your
customers. Using a payroll service allows your business to offer more payment options to
your employees. Detailed reporting can provide cost information allowing you to fine tune
your staffing needs. Certainly there are other reasons. Call us!
How does this work?
First, we'll talk with you and set up a solution for you. We'll need basic wage information for
your business (who's hourly, salaried, commission, tips, etc). We'll need their W-4 information
for taxes, plus any deductions for health premiums, court ordered garnishments, 401(k) plans
and anything else.
We'll also need a voided check from your business bank account. We print checks on our
stock, so we need the bank routing information off of it. If you want your checks to arrive
already signed by you, we'll also get your signature so we can scan it.
Then, when your payroll period is ended, communicate the information to us. Typically this
means faxing, emailing, or telephoning hours worked, tips, commissions, and other variable
information to our office. We'll provide a worksheet. All you'll need to do is fill this
information in. Give us a couple of hours, and your checks will be ready for pickup!
What about the tax and deposit checks?
Those will be included with the payroll checks. They'll be addressed and payable to the
appropriate entities.
You mentioned reports...
Absolutely. Included with every payroll are basic reports such as: total amount required to
cover the payroll, tax breakdowns by type, a check register, and a department overview. If
you'd like more data, simply ask. Most reports are available free of charge at any time.
