Deluxe

Customizable Pay Grid

Every business is different. Thus, customizability is a huge plus in business software. Deluxe Payroll is obviously aware of this — they offer a completely customizable pay grid. You’ll have more control over the metrics that matter most to you in terms of payroll.

Tax Penalty Protection

Taxes are tough. Handing them off to anyone, even an expert, can be nerve-wracking. What if they make mistakes that lead you to owing penalties? Other companies offer some form of tax penalty guarantee — meaning they’ll pay for any penalties caused by their errors — although it may only be up to a particular amount.

Fortunately, Deluxe appears to offer a 100% tax penalty guarantee no matter what. With Deluxe, there’s no need to worry about being on the hook for fines or penalties with the IRS or state tax authorities.

Setup and Reconciliation Included

Almost every payroll company offers setup help in some capacity. After all, payroll is complicated.

But Deluxe offers to do it all for free, regardless of how much you’re paying them. They’ll get everything set up, upload your information, and reconcile your payroll at no charge so you can run it with ease.

Payroll Reporting

This is another feature that every payroll firm has, but Deluxe simply does better in. It offers over 200 different reports on nearly any item you might want to report on. Accessing reports is easy and highly secure, thanks to Deluxe’s online platform MyPayCenter.

Deluxe has partnerships with plenty of companies that offer business software — meaning there’s a good chance you can integrate your favorite tools with Deluxe and streamline your operations. For instance, Deluxe integrates with numerous Point-of-Sale solutions. These include products like Aloha, Digital Dining, Par, Posi, RMS Touch, and more.

Additionally, you can link your Deluxe data to several accounting software solutions. These include Quickbooks, Great Plains, SAGE, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. Deluxe also states that you can contact them to see if any tool not listed on their site is available for integration. If not, they’ll let you know if they’re able to create an integration for you.

Deluxe packs a lot of features into its payroll service, yet it manages to make it easy to use. Navigating the dashboard isn’t too hard, as there are clearly-labeled menus and tabs where you can find the things you need. Not to mention that you can customize your dashboard to fit your tastes. Running your payroll is simple, too. According to Deluxe, there are only three simple steps involved in entering company payroll. Of course, there’s the free setup and data transfer mentioned earlier as well.
