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”.
