FAQ

Common questions

I only have a few employees. Is a payroll service worth it?
Usually, yes. Even small teams have tax deposits, filings and California wage rules to keep up with, and a missed deadline can cost more than the service.
Can I switch payroll providers in the middle of the year?
Yes. Your year-to-date payroll history moves over so W-2s come out right. Many businesses switch at the start of a quarter to keep it simple.
