For a small business, one of the biggest processes where mistakes can cause misery is payroll. Employees like to get paid the correct amount on time, or they’re unhappy. The IRS also likes to get paid on time with the correct amount, or they’ll ask you to pay up.
Small businesses have lots of options for online payroll services to remove the hassle from the process. Let’s look at a few of the most recommended.
Gusto receives high marks for its usability. It’s a newer name in the field but with a robust reputation. The user interface is easy to use with uncomplicated navigation. Other strong points are its flexibility, customizable reports, and mobile access.
OnPay is recommended for small to mid-sized businesses. This fast cloud-based payroll service is a complete solution offering extensive employee record keeping and unlimited payrolls each month. Along with a great user interface, it calculates and automates payroll tax payments.
