Namely At A Glance
Product Overview
Namely is an all-encompassing, Web-based human resource management system (HRMS) that streamlines the tasks related to key HR functions. This review will focus on its payroll features. For more information about the full suite, read our Namely HRMS review.
Namely is a single-platform solution that allows you to easily move between HR-related tasks.
The payroll module is a full-service payroll tool that can fully integrate with your HR and benefits data. This not only saves time when entering and updating critical information, it also reduces paperwork errors on important forms for taxes, time sheets and more.
Features
Namely’s payroll tools can simplify your company’s paydays with the following four elements:
1.) Full-Service Payroll System
The full-service system connects to your HRÂ solution, making it easy to enroll new employees by pulling information collected during onboarding.
Since employee profiles are automatically synced with payroll, updating employee statuses is simple to do with just a few clicks. The software also automatically calculates payroll deductions and employer payroll taxes by syncing information with the benefits tools.
2.) Tax Filing & Compliance
To keep your company in full compliance, Namely automatically calculates and deposits local, state and federal taxes. For more peace of mind, Namely also generates and sends key tax documents like W-2s and 1099s, as well as summarizes year-end payroll and tax information.
Additionally, the software provides paycheck modeling, which shows payroll deductions in a clear format for employees to understand how the deductions affect paychecks.
3.) Payroll Reporting
The payroll reporting tools easily give your HR department a 360° view of critical data related to your employees and their impact on company costs, including hours worked, payroll deductions, employee turnover and more. Namely’s single-platform interface syncs with other HR tools, ensuring that employee information is accurate and allowing key payroll data to be integrated in larger HR reports.
4.) Time Management
Namely’s time and attendance system allows you to electronically handle time sheets, as well as all the tasks related to tracking labor hours and managing labor costs. The system is fully integrated with the payroll module to easily audit, manage and report on all labor data, giving you a full overview of your workforce.
