Hello,
Wondering if any company owners could recommend a payroll service you use for payroll. It takes me and another accounting person about 2 days to complete payroll on all my trucks using excel the old fashion way.
I know there has to be a more efficient/economical way of doing it.
I am in desperate need of a software or company recommendation if you would like to share or just any suggestion to help make this a bit easier!
Thanks,
Maria

I recently received the Trucknpro Professional Business Business Manager from Foglinesoftware (www.foglinesoftware.com). I have been using their software for a number of years. The newest version has a payroll feature where you can do payroll as you put in each load. It will do all the calculations for pay by the hour, mileage or percentage. The software doesn't have tax tables in the program. You will still need to use a tax table and then plug in the numbers to the software. If you keep up your bookkeeping on the loads, it should not take long to do your payroll. You are not limited as to the number of trucks. As far as using a spreadsheet, you could copy the tax tables into your spreadsheet then key in the gross pay and as long as the formulas are correct, you should see the net amount and all deductions instantly. You could then just transfer those numbers to the Trucknpro software and you can print out their pay and deductions. It will keep track of the pay and deductions and at the end of the year all you need to do is print a report on each driver. You can go to their website and download it for a trial. I think it is 15 days.
There is another I used to recommend, but they now have a monthly fee attached and everything is done offsite. With the Foglinesoftware, you keep everything on your own computer system. They have a training video you can also download first, which explains how the program works.Ukumfe Thanks this. -
I just thought of something else, maria. I believe Quickbooks Pro has software that will do your payroll. I believe the payroll is a separate module or has a monthly fee attached. While it isn't specific to the trucking industry, the software will do your books. How many trucks do you have? Are you primarily interesting in something to do your payroll or all of your bookkeeping?

Outsource it. My bank (Wells Fargo) does it for me. I enter the gross pay in less than a minute and I'm done. They do all the periodic tax deposits and filings, along with direct deposits for the payroll. I get a Fedex envelope each week with pay stubs for everyone and a summary report to fill a box with. Some might say I'm paying too much, but I'm happy with it. It's a headache I don't have to deal with at all.
Another outfit I know of is Paychex. I hear their ads on the XM news channels often. Not an endorsement by me, as I have never used them nor know anyone that has. -
Thanks for tall the replies!
I currently have a Chase business account and I do my own direct deposit with them. It' super easy and I think it's only $10 bucks a month. That part is fine. I punch in the number to direct deposit and it's done in literally 3 minutes.
I guess my problem is making everyone's paystub. It takes FOREVER and a day!
That is what I struggle with the most. The actual direct deposit part is the easiest.
DO you guys issue paystubs to your guys? -

Thank you for the great information! I need help with the pay stubs. I am going to look into this right away. I have 9 guys that I manually do these for. I have a general excel spreadsheet that I use so I just have to refill all the info for each guy.. -
RedForeman Thanks this.
