Payroll
There's more to paying employees than passing out paychecks. Payroll is
actually a 4-step process, and each step has dozens of tiny
tasks associated with it. Patriot HR can automate this process to reduce
errors, cut your company's payroll costs, and save your company time.
Payroll doesn't start with a calculator and printer. It starts with a time
clock or Web interface collecting employee hours. If your timekeeping system
doesn't send hours to your in-house payroll system or your payroll provider,
someone is wasting time collecting hours and calculating pay based on those
hours. Patriot HR's timekeeping system, Patriot Time™, automatically posts
hours to online timecards so that all your staff has to do is approve timecards
to submit payroll to Patriot HR.
Once
pay is calculated, adjustments must be made. Taxes, benefits contributions, and
other deductions must be subtracted. Wage garnishments (court-ordered paycheck
withholdings for unpaid child support, taxes, etc.) also must be deducted in
accordance with state and Federal laws, which can vary based on the type of
garnishment and where the employee lives. Expense reimbursements must be added.
Calculating and tracking these adjustments is time-consuming and error-prone.
Patriot HR's automated system automatically calculates payroll according to
your company's policies and applicable laws, saving your staff time and
reducing the chance for human error.
After your staff has collected hours worked (either with your own timekeeping
system or our Patriot Time timekeeping system), they can make last minute
adjustments online, and then send us into action! We will calculate your
payroll, print, sort, and send paychecks to multiple work sites, saving your
company time and overhead costs (e.g., paper, equipment, labor, etc.).
Everyone has received their paychecks, so your staff can take a break, right?
Not so fast! How does all of the information get into your general ledger? If
your company is like most, the information is probably entered manually or kept
in spreadsheets. With Patriot HR, the information can be imported directly from
our payroll department to your general ledger.
Our payroll services also include:
-
Calculating and remitting employer taxes (e.g., Social Security, Medicare,
Unemployment)
-
Handling annual state and federal tax reconciliations.
