Payroll Setup

Payroll-provider selection support
Pay schedule and approval workflow
Bookkeeping integration plan
Year-end document readiness
Payroll coordination
Keep payroll, records, and bookkeeping connected
GAD can help organize payroll setup, coordinate an approved payroll provider, maintain employee-change workflows, collect reports, and connect payroll records to bookkeeping and tax readiness.
Accurate service positioning
GAD should only provide payroll processing directly when the required systems, permissions, contracts, and qualified personnel are active. Otherwise, GAD coordinates the workflow with an approved payroll provider.

Year-end readiness plan
1
Review the workforce
Confirm employees, contractors, locations, pay schedules, benefits, and current provider status.
2
Build the workflow
Define who submits changes, who approves payroll, where reports are stored, and how bookkeeping receives data.
3
Maintain readiness
Keep payroll reports, year-end forms, employee changes, and bookkeeping records organized throughout the year.
Payroll deadlines and compliance vary
GAD provides general education and administrative coordination. Filing, withholding, registration, employment-law, and benefit questions may require the payroll provider, tax professional, benefits professional, or attorney responsible for that matter.
