What kinds of payrolls can I do on GO-PAYROLL.COM?

GO-PAYROLL.COM can handle virtually any type of payroll situation. You can do a foodservice payroll with tipped employees, even if employees work in different classifications (or at different locations) during the same pay period.  You can also handle complex union or non-union construction payrolls where a single employee might have several dozen transactions in the same week, with different rates of pay. 

What do I need to have to use GO-PAYROLL.COM?

What you need is a computer with an internet connection and a web browser. Once you are signed up we handle the rest.  You will ultimately need a printer to print your payroll checks each week.

How hard is setting up your payroll?

Since we at GO-PAYROLL.COM do all your set up, based on the information you provide, we would have to say your set up is pretty easy.

Can I do a construction payroll with job costing?

You most certainly can.  With GO-PAYROLL.COM you can have an unlimited number of transactions at an unlimited number of pay rates in the same week for the same employee.  This means that you can break down labor costs in any way that suits you.  In addition, if you are required to submit Davis-Bacon certified payroll reports, we have you covered!

Can I keep track of my workers' compensation?

Absolutely.  When setting up your payroll, simply enter your workers' compensation codes and rates from your insurance policy.  Then assign each employee the appropriate code when you set them up.  You may charge an employee's labor to any valid code in any pay period, and you may even divide one employee's labor among different codes in the same pay period.  One of our main reports in the system is a complete workers' comp analysis report which can be produced for any two dates.

What kind of accounting information can I get?

GO-PAYROLL.COM provides you a complete accounting journal for each payroll period.  This makes it easy to get the information into your accounting system.  If you use GO-CHECKBOOK.COM for your accounting, the data from payroll can automatically be incorporated into your accounting.

Is GO-PAYROLL.COM expensive?

Not at all.  Our rates are competitive and a small payroll can be done weekly for less than $20 per month, including reporting and W2s.

What kind of check forms do I need?

GO-PAYROLL.COM uses a standard blank top and bottom stub laser/inkjet form.  Here are some form numbers for you:

    Safeguard Forms:  Laser check form 4001

    Costco Checks: L-MP98

    Checksforless.com:  LV-1 Peachtree

    Deluxe Forms: 81192

    McBee Forms: LMM-108-1

What about quarterly reporting?

GO-PAYROLL.COM provides you all the information you need to file your quarterly reports, and for a very nominal fee, you can order up filled in Federal Forms (941 and 941 Schedule B).  The system also provides standard uploadable files for state unemployment reporting as well as a standard report layout that is accepted by most states.

Can I pay contract labor?

Be sure to check with your accountant regarding the legality of using contract labor, but GO-PAYROLL.COM will allow you to pay 1099 wages to an employee.

Can I pay owner's draws?

Yes.

What kinds of deductions can GO-PAYROLL.COM handle?

We can handle virtually any kind of non-tax deduction.  We can do 'reduce gross' deductions such as 401(k) plans or Section 125 health plans.  We can also do partial direct deposits, as well as any kind of child support or other court ordered deduction.

For Accounting System Users

Will GO-PAYROLL.COM help me manage my bank accounts?

Yes.  The accounting system on GO-PAYROLL.COM will allow you to manage any kind of bank, loan or credit card account.  The balances are always displayed on the main service menu, and are updated every time you return to the service menu.

Can I do my accounts payable?

Yes.  You may enter and pay accounts payable invoices, and print an aged payables trial balance at any time.  Individual vendor (payee) ledgers are maintained for you.

I need nice financial statements for my banker. Will GO-PAYROLL.COM do that for me?

Yes again.  Our financial statement reporter allows us to design really any type of financial report for you.  Our financials are readable, professional looking and are always compliant with accounting standards.

I have a lot of payees that get 1099s at the end of the year.  How does GO-PAYROLL.COM handle that?

Any payee in the system can be designated as a 1099 recipient.  At the end of the year, the data is exported to our 1099 printing software and we provide you 1099s for distribution. 

I am a building contractor.  What can GO-PAYROLL.COM do for me?

Our accounting system includes complete job costing for you.  We can track all your revenue and expenses by job and cost code and provide a variety of reports that will satisfy the most stringent of requirements.

How much does all this cost?

On an annual basis, our system will cost you about the same as a low-end in-house accounting system.  However, when you factor in annual maintenance, the cost of computer equipment and other expenses involved in maintaining an in-house system, we are somewhat less expensive, especially considering the high level of functionality in the software.  We take care of backups, we take care of security, and you can access your data from anywhere you have a laptop or netbook, and an Internet connection.

How is the information in my GO-PAYROLL.COM payroll account handled?

Your payroll data automatically posts to your GO-PAYROLL.COM accounting system. 

What about exporting data for things like charts and graphs, or transferring data to my accountant?

Our system has very extensive export capabilities.  You can create charts and graphs in your favorite spreadsheet program, create labels and forms in your office suite, or transfer data to your accountant at any time. All our exports create industry standard text files that can be imported into a large variety of standard packages.
