Payroll processing and compliance services in Lufkin that keep your employees paid and your business compliant.

What Gets Done During Each Payroll Cycle

Each payroll run in Lufkin includes calculating gross wages, withholding taxes, processing deductions, and submitting payments to employees and contractors. You approve payroll totals through the Client Portal before funds are released, so you retain control while the processing is handled for you.

After payroll is processed, your employees receive their pay on schedule, tax withholdings are set aside correctly, and all filings are submitted to the appropriate agencies. Payroll errors are costly, time-consuming, and stressful.

Quarterly filings include submitting payroll tax returns and reconciling year-to-date totals. Year-end services cover W-2 preparation for employees and 1099 preparation for contractors. The service does not include HR support, benefits administration, or time tracking, though we can integrate with systems you already use. What it does provide is accurate payroll processing and compliance monitoring so you avoid penalties and your team gets paid correctly.
