Processing your company’s payroll and paying employees is a necessary part of running a successful restaurant.
Processing your company’s payroll and paying employees is a necessary part of running a successful restaurant.
The burden has been made easier and more efficient with new payroll applications tied to the basic payroll processing.
These new applications have proven to be big time savers for restaurant owners.
The biggest time-savers are the following:
Direct entry also known as “GO” payroll. Instead of transcribing time cards or POS hours and tips onto an input sheet and then either calling the info into the payroll company or faxing the info, owners can input the information directly to a secure Portal anytime of the day or night. This eliminates wasteful phone time and the high possibility of transposition or transcription errors. With “GO” you check the numbers yourself before sending the information. And with a click of the mouse you are done.
Paperless Payroll. More and more restaurants are going to paperless. No more passing out checks. No more employees losing their checks. No more checks sitting on your desk for days. No more potential for employees seeing what other people make. Kallas can set you up for direct deposit and Debit cards (for employees who do not have bank accounts). You receive payroll journals via email. And now you are paperless. If an employee loses a Debit card we replace it free. And the service is free to you. Call Jordan for more details.
On-boarding. This is a powerful application that will really alleviate your payroll burden. When you are ready to hire an employee, you enter their name and email address into the On-boarding app. Then you are done. The app sends them an email and they fill out all the paperwork themselves. They fill out their W-4 information, I-9 information, and any application information you want. They read your employee handbook and rules of the house and any other forms you require them to sign. Another big plus to On-boarding is that you can determine whether this employee is eligible for the WOTC (a tax credit missed by many employers due to the paperwork burdon). The new hire must sign at each step of the way to proceed further. AND NOW YOU HAVE A PERMANENT RECORD – ALL FILLED OUT PROPERLY – FOR ANY TAXING OR LABOR HOUR OFFICIAL TO VIEW.
Pay-as-you-Go Workers Compensation. How much time have you wasted dealing with the Workers Comp insurance company when they audit your payroll or if you estimated your payroll liability and you get a big unexpected audit bill. With Pay-as-you-Go Work Comp, your work comp liability is paid each payroll for the correct amount so you don’t have to worry about audits or coming up with a huge audit bill when you least expect it. Call Jordan for more details.
