FAQs

Common Questions

 

Can you take over payroll in the middle of the year?
Yes. Bring your year-to-date payroll reports and we'll carry the totals forward so your W-2s are accurate at year-end.
Do you handle California payroll taxes?
Yes. We handle California withholding and the state payroll taxes reported to the EDD, along with the quarterly DE 9 and DE 9C reports.
Is my worker an employee or a contractor?
California uses a strict test, and misclassifying a worker can be costly. We'll walk through the facts with you and help you set them up the right way.
What if I already got a payroll tax notice?
Don't ignore it. Send it to us and we'll review it, respond, and help you resolve any balance or missing filing.
How much does payroll cost?
It depends on how many employees you have and how often you run payroll. We'll give you a flat price after a free consultation.
