FAQ

Small Business Payroll in Detroit

When should a small business outsource payroll?

As soon as you hire your first W-2 employee. Penalties for missed or late payroll tax deposits start at 2% and climb to 15% — outsourcing eliminates that risk for less than the cost of a single penalty.

Can I run payroll myself with software?

You can, but you remain liable for every filing. Most small businesses get more value from a payroll pro who handles compliance, multi-state filings, and year-end forms end-to-end.
