How Payroll-Only Services Work

Step 1: Initial Setup

We gather employee information, tax forms (W-4s, I-9s), and connect

with your bank for direct deposit. We'll also coordinate with your

bookkeeper if needed. Setup typically takes 1-2 weeks.

Step 2: You Submit Hours

Before each pay period, send us hours worked via email, spreadsheet,

or through QuickBooks Time (included with Premium/Elite). If you have

salaried employees, this step is automatic.

Step 3: We Process Payroll

We calculate paychecks, withhold taxes, and prepare direct deposits.

You review and approve payroll before we finalize. With Auto Payroll,

salaried employees can be set up to run automatically.

Step 4: Employees Get Paid

Direct deposit hits employee accounts on payday (next-day with Core,

same-day available with Premium/Elite). Employees access pay stubs

through their self-service portal.

Step 5: We Handle Tax Filings

We file all quarterly payroll tax forms (941, SUTA) and make required

tax deposits on your behalf. You never have to worry about deadlines

or penalties.

Step 6:Year-End Processing

We prepare and file W-2s for employees and 1099s for contractors

(upon request). All forms are e-filed with the IRS and distributed

to your team through the employee portal.

Flexible Payroll Frequencies

We support all standard payroll frequencies to match your business needs:

- Weekly (52 payrolls per year)

Best for: Hourly workers, construction, retail

- Bi-weekly (26 payrolls per year) — Most Common

Best for: Most businesses, easy budgeting

- Semi-monthly (24 payrolls per year)

Best for: Salaried employees, easier month-end close

- Monthly (12 payrolls per year)

Best for: Very small businesses, executive-only payroll

You can also process off-cycle payrolls as needed for:

- Bonuses and commissions

- Termination payments

- Payroll corrections

- One-time payments
