Payroll software FAQs
What is payroll software?
Payroll software helps businesses automate their payroll processes. This can include tasks like payroll processing, payroll calculation, tax filing, and detailed reports.
How can payroll software help businesses?
One of the significant benefits of using payroll software is that it can help businesses avoid penalties for non-compliance with payroll tax laws. These laws can be complicated and subject to change, which can make it challenging for businesses to stay on top of their obligations.
