Payroll Features Overview

Customize Your Payroll

Payroll isn’t a one-size-fits-all workstream, so you can configure your check types, time off accruals, reporting, and more.

Process Payroll in Just a Few Clicks

A simple three-step navigation flow makes it easy to navigate the tasks required to successfully submit payroll—while offering the flexibility to navigate from that linear flow to accommodate more complex requirements. You can even use interactive graphs to help view comparisons and drill down into hours, deductions, taxes, and more.

Set Up General Ledger Mapping

Customize account mapping for activity like earnings, deductions, and taxes to keep financials up to date. Decide on the format for entries and customize and schedule the output.

Reduce Manual Data Entry

Hours, dollars, and labor allocations flow directly into Payroll from Time & Labor. And there’s no need to manually calculate changes that happened in the middle of a pay period or in a previous one. The system flags employees that need prorated or retro pay and shows the calculations—which you can use as-is or modify.

Ensure Paycheck Accuracy

Trust that your payroll is accurate with our Payroll Readiness Dashboard, a powerful tool that provides a comprehensive overview of your critical payroll tasks well ahead of your processing day. And our 40+ configurable pre-submit audits can flag if something looks irregular, like someone receiving double their typical pay.

 

Connect to Other Business Systems

Automatically transfer information on general ledgers, 401(k), retirement plans, and benefit files with preferred vendor(s) via easy integration or unlock custom integrations with open APIs.

Ease Tax Compliance

Tax geolocation can audit each employee to ensure they’re set up to pay the correct taxes based on their location. And with the help of our tax experts, you can be confident that your tax documents are prepared, reviewed, filed and processed accurately and on time.

Manage a Global Workforce

Create, manage, and pay domestic and global employees in a single place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Payroll software is a digital payroll solution for managing and automating the employee payment process. Common features include calculating employee wages, subtracting withholdings and deductions, and generating the direct deposit file. When you use a payroll solution, the process is automated for ease of use without taking away your ability to edit wages or deductions to accommodate special circumstances.

The benefits of an online payroll solution include:

  • Reduced time spent on payroll processing, leaving you with more time for strategic initiatives.
  • Improved compliance with state and federal laws and streamlined tax filing processes.
  • Decreased likelihood of costly payroll errors.
  • Easier access to essential documents for employees through self-service portals, including pay stubs and W-2s.

Cloud-based payroll software is hosted online and accessed through the internet, rather than software installed on your business premises or through an outsourced solution. This allows HR professionals and employees to securely access payroll information and functionality from any location, at any time, even if they aren’t in the office.

Switching payroll providers doesn’t have to be complicated.

  1. The first phase involves requesting a demo and proposals from your candidate payroll vendors.
  2. Once you’ve chosen a new provider, you’ll need to review your current payroll contract and request pertinent documents (like payroll records, employee information, and other tax related forms).
  3. Before you officially make the switch, coordinate tax filings, and let internal stakeholders know about the change – then you can officially transition and go live with your new payroll solution.
