If you don't already know certified payroll software is used to fill in forms WH-347 Payroll Certification and form WH-348 Statement of Compliance.
However, since you are already searching for certified payroll software you are probably already aware of these requirements. Still, you need to think about a few things before jumping on just any payroll computer program. The costs of not doing so could be extremely steep, including being bared from bidding on federal contracts in the future. The first thing you need to look for in any program for payroll is that it meets all your needs. So it should ideally not just be able to handle the certified part of your payroll but other functions as well. It should help you to pay your employees the right amount and on time. And it should help you to meet all your accounting and tax requirements. Many programs do some of these things but few do all of them. Once you have narrowed your search down a little bit, it is time to start reading some reviews online. You want to take the time to really be sure that you are finding the best program out there for you. Certified payroll software programs aren't hard to find, but good ones can make a huge difference to you and your business. So be sure to read as many reviews as possible. Some software companies have try before you buy options. If any of the companies you are considering offer these, jump on them. If you can try one or two programs before buying you can see for yourself which ones are not only the best at meeting your needs, but are also easy to use too. Don't worry if a company doesn't offer this option, since most will at least offer some form of money-back guarantee if the program is really bad. Now all that's left is for you and your staff to learn how to use your certified payroll software. If you are already familiar with regular payroll computer programs this should take no time at all. And better yet, you can sure that you are compiling with all your payroll reporting obligations to the US government. |
