Payroll Services

You submit hours. We calculate taxes, run direct deposits, and handle all the filings. Your crew gets paid on time and your payroll stays compliant.

What This Is

Payroll looks simple until you try to do it right. You’re not just writing checks to employees. You’re calculating federal withholding, Social Security, Medicare, and Utah state income tax. You’re tracking who qualifies for overtime and who doesn’t. You’re making sure deductions line up with what you promised.

We handle all of it. You tell us the hours. We run the numbers, process direct deposits, and make sure the taxes get where they need to go. The federal filings happen on time. The Utah filings happen on time. You don’t track deposit schedules or deadline calendars.

The Processing

Every pay period we calculate wages, overtime, and all the withholdings. We process direct deposits so your employees get paid without you writing checks or handing out envelopes. You review the numbers, approve the run, and the money moves.

The Filings

Federal 941 deposits happen automatically. Utah state withholding gets filed. Quarterly reports go out on schedule. At year end, every employee gets their W-2 and you get copies for your records. We track the deadlines so you don’t have to.

Why This Matters

Your crew expects to get paid on time and paid correctly. That’s baseline. Mess it up once and you hear about it. Mess it up twice and your best workers start looking for someone more reliable. In construction especially, word travels fast about which contractors run a tight ship and which ones can’t get payroll right.

Beyond the employee side, there’s the compliance side. The IRS and Utah don’t send friendly reminders. They send notices with penalties attached. Payroll taxes are trust fund taxes. That money belongs to the government the moment you withhold it. Fall behind and they don’t just penalize the business. They can come after you personally.

Crew Confidence

Reliable payroll builds trust. When your employees know their pay will hit on Friday without fail, they’re not stressed about bills or second-guessing whether they should look elsewhere. Consistency matters, especially when you’re trying to keep good people in a competitive labor market.

Personal Liability

Payroll tax is one of the few business debts that can pierce the corporate veil. The IRS and Utah Department of Revenue can hold business owners personally responsible for unpaid payroll taxes. This isn’t an abstract risk. It happens to contractors who get behind and don’t catch up.

What Changes

Payroll stops being something you dread. You send over the hours. Payments go out. Taxes get deposited. Filings happen on schedule. You’re not tracking deposit deadlines or wondering if you calculated overtime correctly. It just works.

Your attention goes back to running jobs instead of processing payroll. Friday isn’t paperwork day anymore. Your crew gets paid, your compliance is handled, and you’re not the one responsible for keeping up with every IRS and Utah deadline.

Predictable Paydays

Your employees get direct deposit on the same day every pay period. They can see their pay stubs online. No paper checks to distribute on job sites. No chasing people down to hand them their pay. Everyone knows what to expect.

Quiet Compliance

Quarterly filings happen without you thinking about them. Year-end W-2s go out on time. Tax deposits hit the right accounts on the right dates. You stop tracking payroll deadlines because someone else is handling them. If rules change, we adjust. Your job is to approve hours, not to monitor tax policy.
