What is Patriot Payroll?
Patriot Payroll is a cloud-based payroll processing platform built for small businesses in the United States. It handles federal, state, and local payroll tax calculations, offers free direct deposit, unlimited payroll runs, and an employee self-service portal for pay stubs and W-2s. The product is offered in two tiers: Basic Payroll, where the business handles its own tax filings, and Full Service Payroll, where Patriot files and deposits payroll taxes on the business's behalf across all 50 states.
The platform integrates with QuickBooks, time and attendance tools like Buddy Punch and TSheets, and add-ons for HR and time tracking sold separately. It targets small to mid-sized US-based businesses looking for straightforward, affordable payroll software with US-based phone, email, and chat support, rather than large enterprises or international payroll needs.
