Question on: Blue Marble Global Payroll

Turnaround Time?

I know this question may vary slightly by country, but on average, if you are doing a once a month payroll, by what date do you have to submit all your changes for everything to be processed on time? If I hired someone on the 20th of the month, would they easily get into that current month's payroll run or would they have to wait till the next month (or process an out of cycle payroll?)

Kylee, Great question. It really depends on the country and the starter requirements and process. If a payroll process date is 25h, you can still add that employee for the end of month pay-date. Timing and process of funding that payroll has to be considered as well. Whenever we can, we'll help our clients do a gross to net on that employee so that employee is paid and we'll reconcile on the following payroll. Hopefully this answers your questions.

Question on: RUN Powered by ADP

Is setting an automated approval protocol possible?

That is, set for an automatic approval at the same time I run payroll, for 2-3 days in advance so I don't have to come back two days later and approve payroll.

Hi Bradford, In most cases, US Money Movement debits our client's account the day before check date, regardless of when payroll is run. For example if you run your payroll on Monday for a Friday check date, your funds will not be impounded until Thursday. Hope this helps and thank you for your review!

User interface is simply fantastic. It has got a beautiful interface with excel. Like anything and everything in software can be exported and imported through Excel.

QuickBooks is by far the easiest software tool for keeping a company's financial books in order from managing checking accounts, accounts payable and receivable, creating and sending invoices, and conducting payroll. I am a raving fan of the desktop version of the software. Unfortunately, Intuit is looking to convert everyone to the cloud version, which I am not as familiar with, but know that it functions somewhat differently.
