Frequently Asked Questions
-
How much does payroll and tax service cost for a small business?
Pricing depends on the number of employees, your pay frequency, and the services you bundle in. For most small and mid-sized businesses, RPM is competitive with or lower than going direct to a national provider, and the included tax filing and compliance support typically pays for itself by avoiding a single penalty notice. The best way to get a real number is to talk to our team about your specific setup.
-
How often can I run payroll with RPM?
Whatever schedule fits your business. We support weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly payroll cycles. Restaurants and many service businesses run weekly. Most office-based businesses run biweekly. We can help you choose the cadence that works best for your team and your cash flow.
-
How quickly can I reach someone at RPM with a payroll question?
When you call, your direct support will answer the phone. If they're busy with another client, they'll call you right back - usually within the hour. When you call RPM, you are calling your dedicated expert directly. No phone tree, no ticket queue.
-
Can RPM run payroll if I have employees in multiple states?
Yes. We support several clients with multi-state payroll. We handle state registrations, withholding for each state, multi-state unemployment filings, new hire reporting, and reciprocity rules when employees live in one state and work in another. We process payroll in all 50 states.
-
What happens if I get a tax notice from the IRS or state?
Send it to your RPM expert. We review the notice, identify whether it relates to a filing we handled, and respond on your behalf when applicable. You are not on your own with agency correspondence.
-
Will my employees be able to access their pay stubs and tax documents online?
Yes. Every employee gets self-service access through a mobile app and web portal. They can view pay stubs, update personal information, change direct deposit details, download W-2s, and access year-to-date earnings on their own. This eliminates most of the small administrative requests that pile up on business owners.
-
How does RPM compare to running payroll in QuickBooks, Gusto, or Paychex?
The biggest difference is who oversees your payroll. With self-service software, you are responsible for catching errors, tracking deadlines, and keeping up with compliance changes. With RPM, a dedicated expert reviews every cycle, catches issues before they ship, handles agency notices on your behalf, and is one phone call away when you need them. We are also fully bonded and insured, which most online-only payroll providers are not.
