Payroll

Pay people, produce the real forms, and see the tax before it is due rather than after.

Payroll runs the whole cycle: hours in, gross to net, employer taxes, payment, and the filings that follow. The forms produced are the actual documents. A W-2 renders as a W-2, a 941 as a 941, not as a spreadsheet you hand to somebody else to type up.

Gross to net is computed per employee from their W-4 elections, their state, and the current year tables. Employer side is computed alongside it, so the true cost of the run is visible before you approve it rather than appearing later as a tax bill.

How to work this page

Check hours before anything else

Hourly staff pull from clock in and out. Any punch flagged for review sits at the top of the run and blocks approval until it is settled, because a wrong punch becomes a wrong payment and then a correction.

Read the employer column

Every run shows gross, employee deductions, net, and employer taxes. The employer column is money leaving that never appears on anyone's payslip, and it is the number people forget when they plan cash.

Approve

Approval is a recorded act with a person attached to it. After approval the run is locked and any change is a correction with its own record rather than an edit.

Watch the filings appear

Quarterly and annual obligations are created from what the run produced. They land in the tax calendar with the amount already computed.

On a phone

Payroll on iPhone 15 Pro Max

Every figure from the desktop appears here, stacked rather than reduced. Tables scroll inside themselves so the page never moves sideways, and figures keep their separators and their alignment at every width.

Questions people actually ask

Can I pay somebody outside a scheduled run?

Yes. An off-cycle run handles a correction, a bonus, or a final payment. It carries the same tax treatment and produces the same records.

What happens to somebody who leaves mid-period?

Their final run is calculated to the last day worked, including any accrued balance your settings say is payable. Their W-2 stays available to them after they are offboarded.
