Payroll companies make sure your employees get paid. You submit the funds to the payroll company and pay your employees. Some of them file and pay your taxes with the appropriate federal and state agencies on your behalf.

Pricing: some payroll companies charge per pay run, other per employee. So if you run payroll weekly on a lot of people, you should take a look at all the pricing structures before you decide.

Note that if you do the payroll for other companies because you are an accountant or bookkeeper, you can usually get free access or sometimes free payroll for your firm and discounts for your clients.

Revenue Disclosure: We’re upfront people, so we want to be upfront with how we make money. We make money through affiliate links and ads. How do we NOT earn money? We DON’T get paid to add companies to our categories or sell email addresses. That means no one can pay us to put them on the list in any category, move them higher up the list, or change what we say about them. We want small businesses and entrepreneurs to trust us to point them in the right direction, and we’re proud of the fact that this is a guarantee you won’t see on other websites.
