Why Use a Payroll System
Payroll Systems Make Payroll Fast & Easy
Pay Your Employees Easily
On payday, your payroll system will precisely calculate and automatically create paychecks. Depending on your system, you can have paychecks mailed, print them yourself, or use direct deposit.
Take Care of Taxes on Time
A payroll system will automatically and accurately take care of these critical payroll tax responsibilities for you:
- Employer & Employee Federal Taxes (FICA)
- Federal and State Income Taxes
- Unemployment Insurance
- Providing W-2s
As an employer, you must pay these taxes on time and file forms quarterly. A good payroll system will make sure you never miss a deadline.
Keep Yourself Organized
Your payroll system will keep track of employee information, withholdings, the latest tax rates, tax payments owed, and tax forms that must be filed. It will also keep employee records organized, so you can easily access payment histories.
Manage Employee Benefits
You build trust and loyalty when you offer employee benefits , such as health benefits and 401(k) retirement plans to your staff. A payroll system will keep track of all contributions to these programs.
Workers' Compensation Insurance, while not a benefit, is required of all employers, and can be integrated with your payroll system.
