We came to guHRoo after a horrid experience with another payroll company.  GuHRoo was absolutely fabulous and even fixed all of our left over problems from the other company.  The whole payroll process is easy and Matt is always there if I have any questions.  We are so happy we found guHRoo!

We have been using this payroll solution for a year now. We previously were using a much larger name/ larger company. We constantly had issues with the other company not responding, couldnt get anyone on the phone, poor communication and very steep pricing. Since switching to guHRoo, we have been beyond happy. The program is user friendly and intuitive, the staff is helpful and communicative. I reach out once and have either an answer or confirmation that someone is working to help me. On top of all of this, it is a fraction of the cost. There are no hidden fees or surprises on the pricing. I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with the product as well as the staff.

Join hundreds of nonprofits and small businesses building a better company culture with the help of our payroll guHRoos.

You did what you thought you were supposed to. You signed up with one of the big national payroll companies. They sold you on great support and then you never saw your sales rep again

Most small businesses need two things from their payroll provider:

  1. You can’t attract and retain top talent without a well-developed company culture.
  2. You can’t create one without the help of a dedicated HR guide.

That’s why we built guHRoo

to give small businesses a solution that was built just for them. A solution to help you grow. In the last eight years, we have helped more than 500 small businesses automate their payroll and HR. I’d love for you to give us a try and experience the guHRoo difference

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between nonprofit payroll and for-profit payroll?

Nonprofit payroll and for-profit payroll are similar in basic compliance with payroll laws, but they differ mainly due to the unique nature of nonprofit organizations:

1. Tax-Exempt Status: Many nonprofits are tax-exempt under IRS code 501(c)(3), but this doesn’t exempt them from withholding payroll taxes from employees’ wages.

2. Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT): Nonprofits may be subject to UBIT for income from business activities unrelated to their tax-exempt purpose, adding complexity to their financial management.

3. Funding Constraints: Nonprofits often rely on grants and donations, which may come with restrictions on how much can be spent on salaries and wages, making payroll management more complex.

5. Reporting Requirements: Nonprofits may have additional reporting requirements, especially if they receive government funding, impacting how payroll data is managed and reported.

In essence, while the mechanics of processing payroll are similar, nonprofits face unique challenges and considerations, particularly in terms of funding restrictions, tax-exempt status implications, and reporting requirements.

do I have to outsource everything?

no, you choose the different payroll solutions that make sense for your company. At any point, we can adjust your outsourcing services to ensure your needs are effectively covered.

we pride ourselves on providing solutions that scale with businesses. If you have ten employees when you start and then scale to 100 people, you can adjust your services with your needs.

is my payroll support team local?

that depends on where you are! If you are in SC – yes, your team is located right here in Columbia, South Carolina and is available during normal office business hours.

if you are in another state, your team is a quick Zoom, telephone call, or chat away. We pride ourselves on being a “national company with a local feel”.
