Frequently asked questions

What is full-service payroll?

Full-service payroll providers are comprehensive companies that offer businesses the option to outsource their payroll activities. By engaging one of these firms, businesses can offload tasks such as payroll processing, issuing cheques and direct deposits, as well as managing tax filing and payments.

What is a fully managed payroll service?

In a fully managed payroll arrangement, the payroll vendor assumes the entire responsibility for handling every aspect of the payroll process, from data entry to tax filings.
