There are no other steps required. We don’t send email reminders for you to pay your taxes, we do it for you.

Below is more detail regarding our process, as well as the benefits of our payroll product.

Anytime, Anywhere Payroll Processing
You can process payroll from anywhere you choose and any time you want — when it works for your schedule. You can process from home, the office or even while you're on vacation.

Email Reminder Tells you When to Process Payroll
We send you an email reminder letting you know when it's time to run payroll, based on the schedule you set up during enrollment. You then log in to your online account, and complete these simple steps. It only takes minutes.

Direct Deposit or Paper Checks
You choose whether you will pay employees by direct deposit, self print checks from the office or use our check printing and delivery service. You can use one or a combination of payment options, depending on your employee needs or your need for spur-of-the-moment employee payments.

SurePayroll calculates, deducts, deposits and files your taxes for you, without you having to re-enter our system. We even work with the IRS on your behalf if any issues arise. Back to Top
