Payroll services explained for general contractors in Royal Oak

What payroll services include

Payroll services cover calculating pay, withholding taxes, paying employees and filing and depositing payroll taxes. Good payroll also handles new hire reporting, garnishments and year-end forms. For contractors on public work, it includes certified payroll reports.

What drives the cost of payroll services

The price depends on how many employees you pay, how often you run payroll, how many states or cities you file in and whether you need certified payroll. A small team paid on a simple schedule is straightforward. Commissions, multiple pay rates and prevailing wage work add complexity. We set a fixed monthly fee once we have reviewed your current payroll on a short call.

Michigan payroll taxes

Michigan employers withhold state income tax, pay state unemployment tax and, in some cities like Detroit, withhold city income tax. Each has its own filings and deadlines. Getting city tax right is a common miss for businesses with people who live or work in different cities.

Certified payroll for prevailing wage jobs

Public and some funded projects require prevailing wage pay and weekly certified payroll reports. The rates depend on the job classification and location. We set up the classifications and prepare the reports so you stay compliant on these jobs.

Payroll and your books

Payroll should flow into your books by department or job, so you can see labor cost clearly. When payroll and bookkeeping talk to each other, job costing and tax time get easier. We set up that connection.
