Starting payroll
What has to happen before your first payroll?
Before you pay your first employee, your business needs state tax accounts and a payroll system set up for your pay schedule. Then every payroll has to be paid and filed on time.
We set you up on our own payroll processing system and run payroll in it for you. It is done for you, every pay period.
What the startup package includes:
State withholding and unemployment insurance registration
Local payroll taxes where required
Setup on our own payroll processing system
Employees, deductions and direct deposit
Every pay run prepared, reviewed and submitted
Payroll tax filings and deposits
Quarterly payroll tax returns
Year-end W-2s
Only need state accounts?

Payroll startup questions
What is the payroll startup package?
It is payroll set up and run for a new business. We register your state tax accounts, set up your payroll and run it every pay period, and you approve each run.
What do we need before our first payroll?
Your federal employer identification number (EIN), legal business name and address, entity type, first payroll date, and owner and officer information. We take it from there.
When should we register for state payroll taxes?
Before your first payroll in the state. Running payroll without the accounts can bring penalties and interest.
Which payroll system will we use?
We set you up on our own payroll processing system. Direct deposit, payroll tax filings, quarterly returns, state registration and W-2s are all handled in it.
Do we need a payroll person on staff?
No. Our team runs payroll for you. You approve each run before it goes out.
Can you help in any state?
Yes. We register employers and run payroll in all 50 states.
Is there a contract or minimum term?
No. There is no minimum term. Service is month to month.
