Occasionally you may discover that payroll data is incorrect and needs to be altered. Some payroll services assess substantial charges for simple changes of payroll checks. Payroll services pride themselves on the reports that are available. However, many of the reports are unnecessary and you may find that others are difficult to read. Make sure that the reports that your receive are worthwhile and easy to understand.
Some services segregate the taxes into a trust account.
Unfortunately, some companies have found that their payroll taxes were usurped by the payroll service. Some payroll companies charge extra for every additional service, such as W-2, direct deposits, tax deposits and late payments. Be sure that your payroll service provides electronic payment capabilities. This money may be difficult to retrieve. Request that the payroll company refund unpaid tax money within three business days of notification that you are terminating their service.
