Payroll Services

Here are our quick tips you should consider:

• Hire an accountant

  Having access to an in-house accountant or even an outside consultant accountant can free up even more time than a rush payroll software solution. The accountant can manage your payroll and taxes, keep your business up to date and comply with government regulations, and handle decisions about what types of software to use and how best to use them.

• Use a managed payroll provider

  Managed payroll services refer to outsourcing payroll processing to an outside provider. The idea is to completely eliminate payroll concerns and questions about how to streamline the process and leave it to experts to manage all aspects of it.

• Use unified pay periods

  If different types or categories of workers are paid at different times, it can unnecessarily complicate payroll. When choosing a payment program, it's best to select a unified solution that complies with state rules and can be applied to the entire workforce.

• What a Payroll Policy should include

  The payroll policy should make precise how a business complies with regulations, what guidelines employees can expect, and what laws govern the payroll department. 
  Could cover:

  • Defining a workweek
  • Time, attendance, and how to log hours
  • Break periods and rules (including whether breaks are paid or unpaid)
  • Overtime eligibility and rates
  • Pay periods
  • Payroll deductions (mandatory and voluntary)
  • Wage structure
  • Recordkeeping (how long payroll records are kept according to state and federal rules).
