Payroll service companies, such as ADT and Paychex, power the payroll, benefits, and human resources for thousands of businesses looking to outsource their administrative services.
Basic payroll processing typically including calculating tax obligations, printing and delivering checks, and automated payroll service options that employees can access directly to view gross pay, W-2, tax accrual, and withholding details.
Tax Handling and Payroll Services
An added benefit payroll service companies provide is automating the collection, processing, and distribution of tax payments to federal and state revenue services. These include not only employer quarterly 941 forms or monthly accruals, but also local state annual and quarterly filings, unemployment insurance, and all other required forms.
Costs vary depending on the number of employees, amount of automation / regularity of filing (businesses can save significantly if a quarterly filing can be adopted rather than a monthly payment schedule).
Employee Paycheck Handling by ADP or Paychex Type Providers
The largest service providers, ADP and Paychex, offer a comprehensive suite of services to employees. ADP's iPay service for example is a completely automated self service interface for employee's to access the paycheck history, adjust withholdings, and even help manage and administer PTO time off accruals.
Costs of Payroll Services
Many service providers charge a flat rate service amount + a per-employee variable amount. This could be anywhere from $40 – $100 + per employee fee's of up to $2.
