How do I fund the payroll?
HWS will direct debit (via ACH) your bank account for all financial transactions, including payroll, taxes and fees for service.
How do I report hours? What if something changes?
Many clients set their payroll to process automatically without lifting a finger each pay period. If your employee’s hours will vary, you can report hours through our simple online portal, call us during business hours, or email our team. Essential Payroll clients will report total payments each quarter at one time, which can be done online, by phone or email.
Can I change services during the year?
Yes, you are welcome to change your payroll tax service level during calendar quarter transitions.
What if I have already paid my employee?
We can help with back taxes! If we need to go back to a previous quarter(s) a previous quarter fee of $225 applies.
Do you handle Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
We are not licensed insurance brokers; however, we do have an insurance partner that can assist our clients with domestic employment requirements.
Will you file my employee’s tax return?
No, we don’t handle employee’s personal tax returns, but we will prepare a W2 for each employee so that they may file their taxes accordingly. Non US Taxpayers can elect to have HWS file a standalone Schedule H if appropriate.
The chart up there says “price for single employee” what does that mean?
With Complete Payroll there is an additional fee per employee of $65 each quarter that you pay more than 1 worker. For example, if you pay 3 employees total, there will be an additional $130 fee that quarter (1st employee is included in base pricing listed above). Give us a call for a customized quote.
