Small Business Payroll Software: EzPaycheck Sales Up 60% In 2013

Online, August 7, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Payroll software company halfpricesoft.com is glad to annouce that sales of ezPaycheck are up 60% in 2013 over previous year sales due to the addition of new features requested by many customers and potential users. Three of the new features in particular addressed the needs of several industries and enabled them to take advantage of affordable, easy-to-use payroll automation through ezPaycheck.

"This new feature of ezPaycheck 2013 is very popular among businesses such as security firms, temporary employment firms, contractors with multiple jobs going at the same time, and manufacturers." said Halfpricesoft.com founder Dr. Ge. "Any business with multiple product lines or projects or rotating shifts can make use of this new feature while saving a great deal of time and money on payroll tasks."

Added to the 2013 edition of ezPaycheck payroll application, the capability to assign differing pay rates to different shifts or jobs for each employee seems to have impacted sales the most. This feature was requested by many customers who pay differing rates for different shifts or for different assignments or projects and whose employees may work two or more shifts or jobs in a pay period. For example, an employee may work first shift for a week and third shift the following week, with a $2 shift differential, during a two-week pay period. EzPaycheck 2013 easily calculates that employee's paycheck by applying the appropriate pay rate for each shift and the number of hours worked in each shift.

Two other features added in 2012 payroll program have also contributed greatly to this year's boost in sales. Like the multiple pay rate feature, flexible options for deductions and payment types were requested by many users of ezPaycheck. EzPaycheck 2013 lets users assign non-standard deductions to an employee's paycheck, such as taxes unique to specific states or cities, like California's SDI (state disability insurance) tax. Payment type options are useful for businesses that pay by the piece or by the job or who employ subcontractors and need to assign a payment type other than hourly or salary.
