About Payroll Systems Desk

Payroll Systems Desk is an independent informational publication about payroll software, payroll operations and the different people who interact with payroll systems.

Our purpose is to answer questions that conventional product pages often separate across sales materials, help centers and account interfaces.

A payroll platform can look very different depending on who is using it. The accounting firm may see client-management tools. An employer may receive limited payroll permissions. An employee may simply be looking for a pay statement or tax document. Treating all three audiences as though they are searching for the same thing creates poor information and, in the case of login-related queries, can create unnecessary security risks.

Our editorial approach therefore focuses on roles, workflows and context.

The first major topic covered by Payroll Systems Desk is Payroll Relief. Official materials position Payroll Relief around accountants and professional payroll processors, while also supporting employer collaboration and employee-facing portals.

We are not affiliated with Payroll Relief, AccountantsWorld, IRIS Software Group or any other company discussed unless a page explicitly states otherwise.

We do not:

• process payroll;
• hold payroll funds;
• reset third-party passwords;
• provide employee credentials;
• operate third-party portals;
• collect Social Security numbers for third-party services;
• collect banking credentials for payroll platforms;
• claim to be an official support desk.
