Payroll Relief overview

What is Payroll Relief?

Payroll Relief is a cloud-based software that provides businesses with tools to calculate employees’ payroll and streamline accounting processes. Supervisors can handle tax filings, print checks, and distribute W-2 or 1099 forms across all employee portals annually.

Payroll Relief allows organizations to import payroll data from various time or attendance programs, access details about fringe benefits or third-party sick payments, and configure workflows to streamline approval processes. Managers can track employees’ compensation, allowances or reimbursements and allocate payroll expenses based on department or job role. It also lets users generate payroll reports and ensure compliance with various state and local regulations.

Payroll Relief enables businesses to integrate the platform with various third-party applications, such as QuickBooks, Sage, Creative Solutions, and more. Employees can also use the self-service portal to update personal information, upload required documents, and access/print pay statements or forms.
