EDMONTON, ALBERTA - Dec. 5, 2006 - Canada’s small and medium-sized businesses now have a better way to manage their payroll and pay employees. QuickBooks® Payroll 2007, a monthly subscription-based service, turns QuickBooks into a complete, in-house payroll solution, helping save time over manual entry and hundreds of dollars on outsourced payroll services.
QuickBooks Payroll 2007 provides small businesses with the control and flexibility of processing payroll within the familiar QuickBooks small business accounting software, integrating with QuickBooks Pro, Premier and Succès PME Pro.
“Small and medium-sized businesses are crunched for time, and QuickBooks Payroll 2007 helps them spend less time and money paying employees,” said Stephen King, senior leader of Intuit Canada. “QuickBooks Payroll is part of a complete QuickBooks network of small business products and services that help make accounting easy, so small businesses can get back to their business.”
Customers using the product agree.
"The payroll service is awesome. I just punch in the numbers and it does the rest,” said Kelly-Deene Tolchard of Prominent Landscape Construction Ltd. “I could do it by hand, but why would I want to? Payroll would be a nightmare, and doing the deductions by hand would be too time consuming and difficult.”
QuickBooks Payroll 2007 brings several new and enhanced features, including tracking of employee advances and automatic deductions; electronic pay stubs; a quick and easy view of employee vacation pay accrual status; and improved Record of Employment reports.
QuickBooks Payroll 2007 also provides:
· Accurate calculations of Canadian payroll
· The ability to print and e-mail pay-stubs directly to your employees
· Comprehensive and customizable payroll and employee reports.
· Regular tax table updates
· The ability to print and eFile T4s
· Direct deposit into employee bank accounts (additional fees apply)
