“With our previous provider, not much worked correctly. Payroll processing was time-consuming, we constantly experienced system errors and they did little to solve our problems. When we met with Paycor, we felt like they wanted to be our partner.”
Payroll FAQs
Payroll software collects employee hours worked data (for hourly workers) and salary data for full-time employees and consolidates it into an easy-to-read grid for payroll administrators to run on a regular basis. Through the software, administrators can choose the pay interval (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, etc.), correct any mistakes and errors, and then do a pay run once all timecards have been approved. The system then pays employees according to their chosen payment receipt method.

An online payroll system is a software system that administrators can use to process pay runs for their employees. It can be mobile or web-based and performs calculations for each employee based on tax location and withholding information. Online payroll helps administrators process payroll and pay employees through direct deposit, physical checks, or other means.
Payroll systems vary in price and complexity. When choosing a payroll provider, companies should look for a provider appropriate to the size of their business and their industry. Some companies prefer a white-glove service where most payroll tasks are performed for them, while others prefer to have an in-house payroll administrator who processes pay runs through a payroll software program.
It is important to run payroll reports for necessary documents like W2s, 940s, 941s and 944s. Payroll admins often run Cash Requirement, Pre-Post Payroll Journal, Payrun Audit, and Unpaid Employees reports to monitor labor costs and ensure compliance.
Paycor’s AutoRun feature allows payroll administrators the ultimate flexibility to set any of your paygroups to have future payruns automatically process at the regularly scheduled date and any time you choose. With automated payroll, administrators can be hands off, receive updates when payroll is processed, and track progress via Paycor’s Mobile app.
Employers must report wages, tips, and other compensation paid to employees by filling out required forms and submitting them to the IRS. Some federal forms that must be filled out are Forms 904, 941, 943, 944, and 945. Always seek the advice of a tax expert when completing federal, state, or local tax forms.
