Frequently Asked Questions

What information is needed to run payroll each cycle?

Employee timesheets, hours worked, overtime, leave details, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements, and any updates to salary, bank details, or deductions are required before each cycle.

What happens if there is a payroll error?

The issue is reviewed and corrected, and adjustments are made in the next payroll cycle.

When does payroll need to be submitted to meet deadlines?

Payroll must be processed by the due date for each cycle, based on weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedules.

How do we get started?

Book a 15-minute call to confirm requirements, finalize scope, and set up the payroll process before the first cycle.

What are payroll outsourcing services?

Payroll outsourcing services hand off payroll processing, tax calculations, deductions, filings, and employee payments to an external provider. We manage the full cycle for each client, so internal teams are not pulled into pay-run preparation, compliance tracking, or year-end paperwork.

Do you handle payroll for both employees and 1099 contractors?

Yes. We process W-2 employee payroll and 1099 contractor payments through the same workflow, with the correct classification, withholding, and year-end reporting applied to each.

Do you provide payroll services for LLCs, S-corps, and non-profit organizations?

Yes. We provide payroll services for LLCs, S-corps, partnerships, and non-profit organizations, with the relevant tax treatment, retirement plan handling, and reporting applied per entity type.

Do you offer white-label payroll services for CPA and accounting firms?

Yes. We provide white-label payroll services for accounting firms that want to offer payroll to their clients without building internal payroll capacity. Work runs under your firm's brand and on your timelines.

Do you handle payroll tax filings as well as processing?

Yes. With client credentials in place, we file federal, state, and local payroll taxes throughout the year, plus year-end submissions including W-2s, 1099s, and 941s. Clients who prefer to handle filings internally can use the processing service alone.
