Whether your business is small or large, working with a payroll provider can ease some of the burden of running a business, especially when that payroll provider offers additional employer related services. Even the IRS agrees that having a third-party payroll provider can “greatly streamline business operations.” According to the American Payroll Association, in 2007, the IRS assessed over 13 billion dollars in penalties and interest to businesses for payroll related tax issues.

As a business owner, it may be difficult to find a payroll company to meet your specific needs and the availability of additional services can be important. A recent article on evaluating payroll providers at Yahoo Small Business reported additional services as one of the points to consider when choosing; and points out payroll providers often integrate solutions, like retirement plans, together to provide better deals to small companies. While the best service is always of the utmost importance, in these tough economical times the best deal may carry more weight.

John Schmitz, President of FreedomPay LLC., a local company providing custom payroll and employer solutions to businesses throughout Georgia and the US , says “now is a good time for businesses to evaluate payroll and other employer needs for 2009." Schmitz continues, “Insulating our clients from the various federal and state tax agencies is still one of our top value added services. Insuring timely remittance of taxes and filings allows our clients to focus on their core business while giving them peace of mind that they are in full compliance. In essence, we become our client’s payroll department, staying current with ever changing regulations.”

Schmitz states that providing innovative solutions at fair prices is the top priority at FreedomPay. To stand out from other providers, Schmitz’s 27 years experience in payroll and employer services is combined with FreedomPay’s select group of partner companies to provide necessary HR services and customizable benefits solutions in addition to payroll.
