Payroll Options?

[BaileeB]

I am looking to hire an assistant at the end of next month and I am trying to get some sort of payroll set up to withhold taxes. I talked to someone at ADP yesterday and she gave me a quote that was significantly more than the online quote they gave me after she added all of these “discounts” and “promotions”. 🙄
I am not familiar with any of this so does anyone else have an assistant and have a payroll company that they like that isn’t ridiculously expensive?
Online I got a quote of $70/month. Then over the phone they told me $34/week if i want to pay her weekly. That seems like quite a bit and she will only be working 20-30 hours a week. It doesn’t feel worth it at that point.
suggestions?

I use intuit/QuickBooks and it’s about $55/month. ADP Also charges you for paying taxes and for creating w2s.

They used to give a Costco discount and it was only $25/month with intuit, I miss those days! it’s one flat rate regardless of how often you pay but you pay a few dollars extra per addition employees..
i think some people use gusto, but I haven’t trier them

Is it easy to use? I was looking into both Gusto and Quickbooks earlier and gusto doesn’t give any insight into how to use it before you sign up. I think I am going to try Quickbooks because it has the option to track expenses on there as well. It would be nice to get everything in one place.

It’s pretty Easy and there’s Tutorials on it you can do. Plus a customer service number that can help you . I liked it thar you can set it up and just click to pay taxes and file taxes , so even for w2s it’s just a few clicks.

Try Wave I used them for invoicing and had to prove income for my self recently so I created an employee account and it was pretty easy to use. I did everything for free and didn't actually write myself a check, so I am not sure the cost, if any.

The invoices are all free unless I choose to use their payment method and then I get charged like PayPal (a small transaction fee plus a percentage)
