- Robust features, including unlimited reports

Features
Administrators can run payroll in three steps. PrimePay provides two-factor authentication in payroll processing for better security. Administrators can generate unlimited reports with standard templates, such as payroll journals, tax summaries, deduction and bank reconciliation. The PrimePay Documents and Exports System includes custom reporting options.
Other payroll features include employee self-service (e.g., receiving email notifications about their paychecks), direct deposit, paycards, online new hire reporting and integration to a general ledger. As noted above, PrimePay takes care of filing and paying federal, state and local taxes. Plus, its staff can put together and mail paychecks. PrimePay also offers optional garnishment services, but they only applies to child support payments. Finally, a client’s benefits broker or accountant can access their PrimePay account in an advisor role.
PrimePay’s payroll module integrates with its time clock software, so it can capture employees’ punch data. Clients can also optionally purchase a hardware time clock system.
