CPA Payroll

What the name stands for, and what it does not

Small employers who want to run payroll online are the audience for CPA Payroll, Inc. Its site says the name stands for complete, professional and accurate payroll services, and it adds a clear caution: despite the initials, the company is no CPA firm, is not licensed as one in Florida and offers no public accountancy there. A New York public accounting firm, Stokes, Visca and Co., LLP, is named as its affiliate, and that firm practices in New York only. The payroll service has historically been presented as powered by the ConnectPay system.

Employer On The Go and the other online tools

The site presents its work under the line payroll and technology for the modern small business. Employers reach their payroll through an online system called Employer On The Go, and a companion option called Employer On Demand is listed beside it. There is also a Web Pay area. The idea is that an employer can submit and review payroll through a browser instead of exchanging paperwork with the office.

Employee self-service and the mobile app

Employees have their own portal, My Employer On The Go, where they can look at their own payroll information. The older pages also pointed staff to a mobile app for the same service, so that pay records are within reach without a call to the employer.

Reports for tax professionals

A separate online report area is set aside for tax professionals who work with the firm's clients. Accountants and bookkeepers outside the company can pull payroll figures for the businesses they support.

State rules for Florida and New York employers

Payroll depends on local rules, and the site shows which states the company works in: Florida and New York. It posts payroll news about changes to minimum wage rules in both states, along with leave and withholding developments in New York. It also explains that employers must display current wage posters and that these can be printed from the site when the state publishes them.

Forms employers need

A forms and links section gathers the paperwork that payroll relies on: an employee direct deposit form, the federal withholding allowance form, the federal employment eligibility form, New York wage theft protection notices for hourly and salaried staff, and the New York withholding form. It also points to the Florida Department of Revenue and New York state labor and tax agencies.
