Software for payroll outsourcing companies

Payroll bureaus need more than a payroll engine: they need many client companies in one system, client-wise billing, SLAs, case tracking, contractor settlement and state-wise statutory rules. Most payroll tools are built for a single employer. WebSoftOS Payroll OS is built for the bureau model.
