Poppins Payroll

HomePay is a payroll and tax-compliance service tailored for families employing household workers such as nannies, caregivers, and housekeepers. The solution handles all the critical aspects of household employment, from creating federal and state employer accounts, calculating gross-to-net pay, generating pay stubs, processing direct deposits, and managing PTO, to automatically filing taxes and providing year-end forms. It also assists with proper classification of workers (notably helping avoid misclassification as independent contractors), offers tools such as a nanny-tax calculator, and provides state-specific guidance for household employers. Users can activate their account in as little as one business day once registration is complete; the service mails back signature-ready forms in a postage-paid envelope. HomePay emphasizes making “household employment taxes completely taken care of” so that families can hire dependably and compliantly without extensive payroll-expertise.

Payroll performs processing for salaried and hourly employees. Employee information includes deductions, leaves, benefits, taxes, and direct deposit bank accounts. Payroll handles all federal, state, county, and local tax rules. The entire payroll process can be completed in minutes, just a fraction of the time required by other payroll systems. Generate checks using standard calculations for groups of employees based on selection criteria such as department, processing group, salary/hourly, etc. Edit unposted checks to handle any changes specific to current payroll cycle. Post the batch of checks to complete the process. Print the checks. The employee record tracks extensive information about an employee including address information, payment information, tax withholding, G/L accounts for posting and many other attributes. Employees can be assigned to different payment cycles including weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, and monthly.
