Video: What Is Full Service Payroll?

Did you know that over 1-in-2 small business owners report spending more than 3 to 10 hours each month on payroll? That’s anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours every week — way too much time for busy business owners to spend on administrative work. If you're looking to simplify your business' payroll and tax filing, Full Service Payroll could be the perfect solution. Watch the video or read to learn more!

Overview & Benefits of Full Service Payroll

Full Service Payroll is a fast and intuitive way to run payroll online with just a few clicks. You just sign up, create your payroll portal and get going. To run a payroll, you simply enter employee hours and wages, approve the payroll and your employees are paid via check, direct deposit or cash.

What separates Full Service Payroll from basic payroll services? With Full Service Payroll, the payroll provider calculates, files and deposits payroll taxes, like W-2s, W-3s and 1099s, on behalf of the small business. All aspects of your federal, state and local taxes are handled, and a reputable payroll provider guarantees accurate filing — or they'll correct any mistakes and pay the fines.

That also means that you're protected from common employer tax mistakes — which cost 40% of small businesses and average of $845 in IRS penalties every year.

Key Features of Full Service Payroll

Every business has its own unique needs, but the best payroll services typically include:

Unlimited Payrolls

Most payroll companies either charge per payroll or offer a month-to-month subscription plan which guarantees unlimited payrolls. Unlimited payrolls are popular with merchants from a variety of industries because they can run payroll online as often as they need without potentially doubling or tripling their costs every month. If you run multiple payrolls every month, you’ll see significant savings compared with companies that charge per payroll, like ADP and Paychex.

Payroll Taxes Filed For You

Accurate and secure tax filing doesn’t just provide peace of mind; it saves you serious money! In 2017, the IRS penalized businesses $5 billion for employment tax mistakes. Your payroll provider should file and deposit all of your business’ federal, state and local taxes with guaranteed accuracy and security. If there are any errors, the payroll provider pays the fines and handles reconciliation. Do watch out for the end-of-year or quarterly filing fees some payroll providers charge because they add up quickly.
