You know how two seemingly opposing things can be true at the same time? If you’re a small business owner, of course you do – because while paying your team accurately and on time is non-negotiable, doing it yourself can also be a time-consuming, high stakes juggling act (and the last thing you want to think about).
After all, running payroll isn’t just about cutting cheques; it also means:
- Calculating wages, overtime and deductions.
- Navigating complex tax regulations.
- Filing reports on time to avoid penalties.
- Managing benefits, leave and compliance records.
And even small errors can lead to costly fines, unhappy staff, or both.
That’s why more and more folks in your position are turning to Payworks to handle the heavy lifting. Your Implementation Specialist will help set you up in five simple steps and be with you every step of the way to make sure your first run goes off without a hitch. And then you’ll be assigned a dedicated Client Service Representative who’ll get to know you and your business by name and be there to provide guidance whenever you need a hand.
Like the sound of that support… but still not sure about making a change?
Here are five ways partnering with Payworks can help take your business from surviving to thriving:
- More time to run your business (or maybe just catch your breath): Every hour you spend on payroll is an hour you’re not spending on growth or customer service… or the rest of your life outside of work! Payworks’ stat pay calculator, vacation pay entitlements, and benefit enrollments help add time back into your day.
- Cost efficiency without compromise: Hiring in-house payroll staff or investing in complex software can be expensive. Payworks offers scalable solutions, so you only pay for what you need, avoiding overhead costs while still getting access to all the bells and whistles.
- Compliance confidence: Tax laws and employment regulations change constantly. Payworks has you covered with auto overtime calculations, pre-set provincial rules, remittance submission and industry experts at your service, all to help you stay on the right side of compliance.
- A simpler year-end – because yep, it’s coming: With handy checklists, unlimited expert support and tax form information submitted to CRA/RQ on your behalf at no extra cost, you’ll know you’ve got all your details in place and ducks in a row.
- Secure data stored right here at home: We maintain two Canadian-based data centres and adhere to security and governance best practices, so you can sleep better at night knowing your information’s in good hands.
“Our onboarding experience was convenient, accurate and smooth. My customer rep is very efficient and accommodating, and is a pleasure to deal with. Payworks saves me time by making year-end reports like T4s easier. Payworks takes the headache out of doing my own payroll so I can focus on running the business.”
