SOUND FAMILIAR?

Payroll Monday Eats Your Whole Morning

Construction runs payroll more often than most businesses, and every part of it costs more than it should.

$

You Pay Every Time You Run Payroll

Most providers charge per run. Run weekly, and that's 52 charges a year for the same work, on top of your monthly fee. Nobody quotes it that way when you sign up.

↻

The Hours Come In From Everywhere

A text from the foreman, a paper sheet from the truck, a phone call about the two hours somebody forgot. You piece it together, type it into payroll, and hope it's right. One wrong number means a short check and a conversation on Monday you don't want to have.

⚠

Nobody Picks Up When You NEED THEM

You've got 15 minutes to sort out a tax question. You get a phone menu, then a chat window, then a callback at 4:30 p.m. when you're driving. Whoever answers has never seen your account.
