Payroll has to be right every time. This hub will compare payroll software and services for small businesses on price per employee, tax filing, contractor payments, and how much work they take off your plate.
What to look for
- Base fee plus per-employee price at your headcount.
- Automatic tax filing (federal, state, and local in the US) and who is liable for errors.
- Contractor and international payments if you pay people outside the US.
- Benefits and time tracking integrations.
- Switching mid-year: data migration and year-end forms.
