Our People Will Delight You,
and So Will Our Software.
Most national payroll providers use antiquated, PC-based architecture, which means your payroll exists in two places: one database on your computer, and yet another one back at your payroll provider. We’ve found that system is one that’s just begging for errors, data corruption, and system delays, unless the two different databases are kept in perfect synchronization. (Easier said than done, say our clients who switched.)
Payroll Link, on the other hand, utilizes “thin client” technology. Translation: there’s one single database, on-line and real-time. Your computer communicates directly with our server, so all changes made to your data are immediately updated and viewable. We employ the highest level of software encryption, so your payroll data is always protected. And you don’t need to worry anymore about backing up your data or upgrading the software--we do it all for you.

It puts you back in control. You determine the number of users, their rights and their limits. A history-tracking feature provides an audit trail for every field in the program, including previously processed payrolls. You have 99.9% up-time access to your data anywhere, any time via the Internet.
Our Windows® application is easy to learn and operate. We provide free web-based training whenever you need it.
Our system puts unlimited rates, codes, and labor and wage allocations at your fingertips. You can compute hypothetical net-to-gross scenarios without having to post them to payroll.
Interfaces are available for time and attendance, general ledgers, and 401(k)’s to eliminate double-keying.
You can run more than 100 standard reports for any date range (for as long as you have been a client, of course) and save and email reports, too. With the system’s preprocess reporting, it’s easy to make as many adjustments as you need to make sure your payroll is accurate.
Many clients choose to enhance their systems with time off accrual tracking, HR software, or a time-saving Employee Self Service module.
