FAQs

Q: What are the benefits of outsourcing my payroll to Windy City Payroll?
A: Saving time. An average business owner can spend several hours each pay calculating payroll and payroll taxes, preparing paychecks, and distributing the paychecks to the employees.  More time is spent preparing the quarterly and year-end payroll tax forms.  Outsourcing your payroll, allows you to eliminate most of that time and to spend it more productively.

Saving money.   By saving time you are saving money, especially when that time can be better utilized on more productive tasks.  If someone in your company is preparing the payroll, it is a good bet the amount of time spent on payroll tasks is vastly underestimated.  This time can be more effectively allocated to other needs that provide larger benefits.

Many companies get fined hundreds of dollars on an annual basis due to late payments of taxes or late tax filings and paying your payroll taxes late by just a few days can result in hundreds of dollars of penalties.  By outsourcing to us, you can eliminate the worry of facing IRS penalties.
