FAQ
How does per-employee pricing work? Each package includes a monthly base fee plus a per-employee rate. As your team grows or shrinks, your monthly cost adjusts accordingly.
Do you handle timekeeping too? Yes — timekeeping administration and timesheet management are included starting with Payroll Plus, and available as a standalone add-on with Payroll Essentials.
Do you file payroll taxes? We handle payroll processing and administration through your payroll software provider. Tax deposits and filings are managed through that software as part of its service; we don't provide independent tax filing or compliance services.
Can I combine Payroll with other services? Yes — bundling Payroll with Bookkeeping or Virtual Assistant support saves you money. Ask us about a combined package.
