FAQs
What is payroll management?
Payroll management is the process of paying your employees and contractors accurately and on time. It includes calculating wages, managing deductions (like taxes and benefits), handling garnishments, and maintaining all necessary financial records while ensuring compliance with regulations.
What are the steps in the payroll process?
The typical payroll process starts with collecting employee information and setting up a pay schedule. Then, for each pay period, it involves calculating gross pay, deducting taxes and other withholdings, filing taxes with the appropriate agencies, and, finally, issuing payments to your employees and contractors — all while keeping precise records.
What is an online payroll system?
An online payroll system is software that helps businesses manage all aspects of their payroll. This often includes calculating employee pay, handling direct deposits, managing deductions, and filing payroll taxes automatically.
