What is SurePayroll?

SurePayroll, a Paychex company, is an online payroll service designed for small businesses, including specialized plans for household employers and nannies. It handles payroll runs, calculates and files federal, state, and local payroll taxes, and manages year-end forms such as W-2 and 1099-NEC. The platform supports paying both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors, offers free two-day direct deposit, and provides mobile apps for employers and employees to run payroll and view pay stubs from anywhere.

Beyond core payroll, SurePayroll offers add-on services such as accounting software integration, time clock integration, employment law support, and 401(k) plan options. It provides new-hire reporting in all states, live phone and chat support, and free onboarding assistance. The service is priced per month plus a per-employee fee, with a separate flat-rate multi-state payroll add-on, making it a straightforward option for businesses with a small number of employees.
