Patriot Software, Inc. Releases Affordable Payroll Software to Illinois Employers

Online, July 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Patriot Software is proud to introduce Patriot PAY software service to the state of Illinois. The "Land of Lincoln" now joins a growing list of states approved for Patriot PAY.

Patriot PAY is designed exclusively to help American small business owners gain a competitive edge. With this cloud-based payroll software, Illinois employers can access their payroll data from anywhere, whether they're based in Moline or traveling to Chicago or Peoria. Employers can log into any computer or device, quickly run their payroll, and get back to business.

Whether Illinois employers are just starting a new company or they're seasoned veterans of business, they'll find that Patriot PAY is easy to navigate, with built-in help screens, training articles, short videos, and access to customer support for questions.

Illinois employers can count on their payroll tax calculations to be correct -- guaranteed. Because every state has its own unique tax structure, the staff at Patriot Software conducts rigorous tests to ensure the accuracy of payroll tax calculations before releasing the state for payroll service. With the addition of Illinois, Patriot PAY is now available in 23 states, as well as the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. More states are currently under review for payroll processing, according to Wendy Smith, Patriot payroll manager.

"Because it's so critical for payroll to be accurate for employers, each state is thoroughly tested by a number of staff members, including programmers, payroll and payroll tax professionals, an accountant, and a payroll processor," said Smith. "We're excited to offer Patriot PAY to small business owners in Illinois, with its robust business environment."

Patriot Software also offers employers other time-saving options that work exclusively with Patriot PAY. TaxBeGone is an optional payroll tax deposit and filing service for Patriot PAY customers, and MY Patriot employee self-serve (ESS) software gives employees online access to their own pay stubs, payroll data, and banking information.

With monthly prices starting at $10 and no long-term contracts or obligations, Patriot PAY is an affordable payroll option for Illinois small business owners. Employers can try out the payroll program and cancel anytime with no hassle. They can take a 48-hour test drive of the payroll software on their own, schedule a custom demo of the payroll features, or sign up and get a free month of access to the online payroll software.
