All of my employees are remote W2 employees with health benefits, etc. Over time, employees have moved to different states and now I am paying having to pay unemployment and payroll taxes in multiple states. I use Quickbooks for payroll which automatically calculates and pays the taxes so that part is not difficult but it increases our accounting expenses having to deal with multiple states and I am wondering if there is a better way to pay people?

I do not want to pay them as contractors so that is not an option. I’ve looked at PEO’s in the past but they seem to be more expensive than just doing it the way we are already doing it.

Is there anything else out there I should be looking at to make payroll and taxes more efficient?

    It’s best to stick with quickbooks or use something like Patriot. We have employees scattered about in multiple states. It is a lot to keep up with. I suggest hiring a payroll manager for your business to help.

    EORs and PEOs get pricey. The only benefit with Employer of Record is they do file with their tax id and you pay a bill. Technically, it makes your employees their employees. My company has used EORs. We found, cheaper and more efficient to manage it ourselves.

    You could also work with ADP, or another payroll company that’s more full service.
