What Are Payroll Services?

Payroll services encompass the calculation, management, and processing of employee compensation, including salaries, wages, bonuses, and deductions. For businesses operating in both Canada and the U.S., payroll systems must account for:

  • Employee wages and deductions.
  • Employer contributions (e.g., CPP, EI, Social Security, and Medicare).
  • Filing of tax forms like T4s, T4As, and W-2s.
  • Compliance with federal, state/provincial, and local regulations.

Our payroll services ensure that all aspects of employee compensation are handled with precision, reducing the risk of errors and penalties.
