GLENVIEW, Ill. — March 21, 2008 – Online payroll provider SurePayroll announced today the release of three new services – same-day enrollment, free HR and compliance tools, and Saturday customer support hours – each designed to make processing payroll more convenient for small businesses.
Same-Day Enrollment
As with any full-service payroll provider, it is customary for new enrollees to wait up to seven days after enrollment before processing payroll because sensitive information must be verified. SurePayroll's same-day enrollment service allows new customers to process payroll on the same day they enroll in the service. SurePayroll offers payroll tax deposit and filings, as well as tax penalty protection, as a standard part of the payroll service, and is the first full-service payroll service to offer a same-day enrollment service.
"We're especially thrilled to be able to offer same-day enrollment to new customers," says SurePayroll President Michael Alter. "We have consistently found that small business owners want to get payroll going as quickly as possible, but Power of Attorney specifications have traditionally created the need for a week-long waiting period. The fact that we're now able to eliminate that waiting time without sacrificing quality of service will make life easier for thousands of small business owners."
Free HR Tools and Resources
Also starting this spring, every SurePayroll customer will have access to free HR tools and resources they can use to ensure compliance and protection against labor law violations, and help them run their offices more efficiently. SureAdvisor is SurePayroll's one-stop-shop for compliance posters, business forms that pre-populate with employee information, helpful HR how-to guides, and an alerts and reminders service that allows a business owner to keep track of birthdays, anniversaries and more.
All tools are completely integrated into the payroll system. For example, when a customer adds a new employee to the payroll system, I9, W4 and Direct Deposit forms automatically pop up pre-populated with the new employee's information. The labor law compliance service is customized for the state in which the company operates, and comes with a $25,000 guarantee that users will remain in compliance as it relates to labor law postings.
"We don't know anyone else who offers such a robust suite of HR and compliance tools included in their payroll offering," says Alter. "Not only do we offer these services for free, but we'll even pay a customer if they were to use the service and incur a penalty."
Saturday Customer Support Hours
Additionally, SurePayroll customers will have access to phone and email customer support on Saturdays beginning May 1. Customers already have access to 24/7 online service, and the introduction of Saturday assistance, available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., further increases flexibility.
"Our spring enhancements expand on the goal SurePayroll has had since day one - putting the power in the hands of the customers and providing the most convenient payroll service around," says Alter. "Whether it's through same-day enrollment, easy access to free HR tools, Saturday customer support, or even being able to fully run and view payroll from your iPhone, customers can take even more of the hassle out of payroll."
