You work hard all year to keep your business running smoothly. At year end, remembering all of the necessary payroll steps can be mind-boggling. The paperwork is double that of quarter end and the entire year’s records must be reconciled. Let Paychex simplify the entire process, while NAHB Members save 15% off basic payroll processing!

Here are some year-end payroll items that require special consideration: updating personnel records, account adjustments and reconciliations, year-end and holiday bonuses, employee W-2s, reporting third-party sick pay, and fringe benefits.

And for all new clients, Paychex audits their year’s payroll activity, including all active and terminated employees, regardless of when they start using the service.

This year, rest easy at year-end. Let the experts at Paychex process your payroll so you can put your time and expertise where it belongs — back into running your business. Call today: 1-800-729-2439, mention code 5685.
