Ask both of them

From the Payroll guide. Put the same questions to each vendor and compare the answers against your checklist.

  • Which returns and deposits will you make in our name, in which jurisdictions, and how do we see confirmation of each?
  • If you make an error that causes a penalty, what does the contract say you pay?
  • Show a pay change, its approval and the audit log.
  • Show the journal entry for one payroll in our chart of accounts.
  • How do we confirm tax deposits independently, and how do your reports line up with EFTPS?
  • What does an off-cycle payroll cost, and how fast can you run one?
