One paycheck, start to finish

Hours come in on their own.

Staff clock in by phone, tablet or a tap at the door. Managers approve the week, and the hours are already in payroll.

Every tax, worked out to the cent.

Federal and state rules come straight from each agency's own published guides - and match the worked examples the states print, to the cent.

The money moves by itself.

Pay reaches every employee on payday, and each tax payment reaches the right agency on time - automatically, straight from your own account.

Returns filed. Stamped accepted.

Quarterly and year-end returns go to the IRS and every state you owe - and you see each one come back accepted.
