Amazon.com Product Description

CheckMark Payroll is a complete payroll system for companies with anywhere from one to 500 employees. It runs on its own as a standalone application, and also integrates with CheckMark MultiLedger, QuickBooks, and most popular accounting systems. Installation takes seconds and leaves users ready for any payroll challenge they can imagine.

Payroll lets users set up employees quickly with the employee template, and allows users to automate payroll calculations for each employee. It comes loaded with current tax tables for federal income tax and all 50 states. Using the MMREF-1 format, users can file W-2s electronically. CheckMark Payroll prints to a variety of forms, including checks, W-2s, W-3s, and the 941. It even has built-in Internet direct deposit capabilities.

Comprehensive management options are available: Payroll can distribute hours to departments or to jobs created in CheckMark MultiLedger. It can import employee hours from spreadsheet and time-clock software, and track sick and vacation time on a monthly, pay period, or per-hour-worked basis. Purchase of Payroll includes 60 days of free technical support.

    5.0 out of 5 stars You can't go wrong with this software, February 9, 2005
    As a payroll professional, I have used payroll software products that range from basic to high-tech. I bought this product to replace a basic one I had been using at home to process payrolls for several small businesses. Within an hour of opening the box, I was creating paychecks. It is remarkably easy to use, comprehensive, and contains features that many of the more expensive programs do not offer. AND you don't have to pay extra to get the current tax tables installed before you can use the product (like you do if you make the mistake of buying Quickbooks). Another great feature is that if you choose not to buy the annual updates after the first year, you can manually change the federal and state tax tables yourself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Saves me money, May 12, 2003
    By Terry R. Stone (COLO, United States) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This payroll runs year after year and that saves me money. It prints the checks and tax forms, but not the state tax forms. After setup, running the checks takes a few minutes. And I can run a payroll anytime I want. Love the printed manual.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A note to Aatrix sufferers, February 9, 2006
    By J. Mills "Another Aatrix victim" (Honolulu, HI. United States) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    (I'm posting this review wherever I can, hoping to get this message across to as many people as possible. And NO, I do NOT work for CheckMark. I'm just an extremely grateful customer!)

    I rarely ever write reviews, but felt compelled to do so after seeing that I am apparently one of many who have been beaten to a pulp (emotionally AND financially) by Intuit's QuickBooks (for Mac) use of Aatrix Payroll software.

    A few weeks ago I resorted to searching the web for answers to my MANY Aatrix issues as my recent support calls to Aatrix regarding THEIR BUGGY SOFTWARE GLITCHES had me on hold for 3 hours (but only a mere 45 minutes the next day). And no, it was NOT an 800 number. The tech staff was very nice and helpful, but 3 HOURS ON HOLD????? I'm NOT exaggerating. Thank god for speaker phones, but it still ruined my day. What I did find on the web was LEGIONS of people having the same woes as me.

    I do give Aatrix credit for stepping in when Intuit failed to support the Mac community by not including this basic payroll function in their for Mac products. However, after using Aatrix for the past 5 years, I finally reached my limit and searched for a Mac-based payroll alternative. Believing that I was somehow stuck with Aatrix, I was thrilled to find another company that not only makes one, but makes a far cheaper, easier, and IMHO superior program:

    CheckMark Payroll.

    And the best part is, YOU CAN IMPORT TO QUICKBOOKS. So far all my pay data has landed safely and perfectly in QB6. I could go point-for-point and compare, but please take my word. It is SOOOOOOO much simpler to use. No more jumping through hoops, no bugs, no missing numbers, no crashes, works like a charm, AND CHEAPER. Over the past 5 years, I've paid probably $1000. in version and tax table updates to Aatrix. Now you can't even generate forms such as 941, W-2, etc. You have to PAY FOR A FORMS SUBSCRIPTION! CheckMark's pricing structure makes Aatrix look like F***ING pirates! If it worked like magic, yeah OK, but it's so frustrating to use it will make you want to hang yourself.


    Thank you CheckMark. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
