  CHOOSING A PAYROLL SERVICE

  Payroll processing: This is the primary reason a business will contract with a payroll vendor. The system should accept input and then calculate how much employees should be paid for each pay period. Systems should be able to account for shift differentials, overtime, holiday pay, taxes, and benefits. Once the calculation is made, the payroll service will deliver the paychecks to employees via paper check, direct deposit, or debit card.
