#Different Types of Payroll systems

[queenofhearts7378]

Tucker and Spud Appreciation: An essay by me apparently.

Tucker leaned back in his chair, “-and that's why we're no longer welcome at that gas station.”

Spud had a wide eyed look of wonder, “Woah man…….That takes some skill.”

“Thank you!” Tucker gestured wildly on his side of the screen. “Sam called me and Danny menaces but she's the one who brought the mace!”

Spud nodded. “It really was a team effort.” He flipped through his notebook, “Anyways how’s the progress on your side? I managed to crack into some uh, supplies and shipment invoices?”

Spud wrote down some notes, before clicking through a couple of the unlocked files on his computer, squinting at the screen.

Tucker groaned as his chair hit the ground, “Man I keep telling the guys hacking isn't like the movies make it out to be. Like yeah, if I got a back door planted I can get in and out no problem. But straight up hacking a new system?”

“The problems with being the smart ones on the team,” Spud said.

“I managed to get some payroll documents, and some employee work times I think?” Tucker blew a raspberry as he typed a few more lines of code, “All fake names. I doubt a place employs 23 different J. Doe's.”

“John, Jane, Janet, Jake, Joseph, Josie,” Spud recited.

Tucker snorted, “Yeah pretty much.”

Spud hummed before something dinged on his side, “Huh. That might be something.”

Tucker cracked his knuckles, “Share with me?”

Spud copied a few of the files before sending them over. “Hang on, I gotta check something.”

Tucker saw Spud disappear off the side of the screen, but could hear him rooting through some papers.

He looked over the information, scrolling through the various invoices. “Dude what are you seeing that I'm not? It's just the shipping invoices for a bunch of different places.”

Spud came back carrying five different notebooks, of varying sizes. “You may be better at hacking, but I'm better with the information man.”

He waved one of the notebooks, “I started helping Jake keep track of the various magic communities around, you know, to help with his duties when they kicked up.”

“Dude, that is so baller of you.”

“Heh, thanks.” He cracked open the notebook and pulled a highlighter out of a cup. He started marking the notebook as he scrolled through the files. “Anyways, I thought I recognized a couple of the areas some of the buildings were placed in annnnnnnd…..”

Spud furrowed his brow and grabbed another notebook, flipping it through it real quick. “What are some of those shipments carrying?”

Tucker started scrolling through his own files, “Uhhhh looks like…..lots of metal and rubber. Toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and a frankly concerning amount of coffee. Office supplies, like so much office supplies and-”

Tucker winced. “Oh man, and a lot of chemicals I recognize from the Fenton's lab.”

“Yeah but see this?” Spud frowned as he tapped the screen, “These shipments are labeled as various different glass equipment shipments. And it's doubled every other month or so.”

“Could be they're using a lot of the equipment.” Tucker said, “We know they're testing facilities. But you wouldn't be singling those out if that were the case.”

“It's the fact it's double shipments of glass, so the handling of them would be different from most supplies to handle the fragile equipment. And the extra shipments have different weights to them as opposed to the originals they're copying.”

“That sounds super sus.”

“Yeah. What makes it more sus is the fact that the sketchy glass shipments originate from B.U.G.S facilities, rather than outside suppliers like the office supplies and the original glass shipments. Now it could be explained as them having the shipments sent to a warehouse, before dishing it out to other nearby facilities, but there's no record or paper trail that shows that. From what I can tell, the sketchy shipments just appear in the records, before being sent out to a different facility, where it immediately disappears.”

Tucker leaned back, suddenly aware that they were stumbling over something bad. “And considering what we know about them, after the guys stumbled across that one……”

Spud stared at the files on screen, “It could just be magical artifacts. But the more likely explanation is they're catching magical creatures.”

The two of them sat in a heavy silence for a moment.

“How sure of this are you?” Tucker asked. “I mean, the magical world would notice the disappearances right? They would have got a hold of Jake or Lao Shi or someone.”

Spud shook his head and held up his notebook. “All the facilities manage to fall near a cluster of magical communities, that's what I was checking. And like I said, the shipments originate in one facility and then get shipped to a completely different one. Never the same one consecutively, and it's spaced out over years. If a bunch of creatures goes missing, yeah someone's going to notice.”

“But if just one goes missing,” Tucker continued, “It's just an unrelated tragedy.”

Spud set down his highlighter and rubbed his eyes, “And it's not impossible. The Huntsclan has managed to kidnap several magical creatures at once for years for their hunting games.”

“Ugh!” Tucker shuddered. “I do not like the implications of that.”

“Yeah, Jake got caught once. There were about four or five others with him, and they were all misfits to their species, and not well liked so most of their neighbors and families just assumed they ran off or had unfortunate accidents.”

“That's……”

“Yeah.”

Tucker stared at his computer, something twisting in his stomach as he stared at all the locked files he still hadn't managed to get into.

“We can't tell them.”

Spud snapped his head up to look at Tucker incredulously, “What?!?! We have to!”

Tucker shook his head frantically, “We can't. You know the guys as well as I do, we tell them what we found and they're going to go tackle the places right away. This is so much bigger than we thought and in so many places. They barely got out last time and that was with the element of surprise and them not knowing about what they can do.”

“It's basically the same as the GIW! You guys deal with them all the time!”

“It's not the same! The GIW have a single base, with maybe 20 guys working there! I've been tracking them and their branch since they first showed up in Amity and they don't go anywhere else. This is the only branch of the GIW. They barely manage to capture the little blobs or ectopusses, and even then those ghosts escape on their own before I even get the alert about them!”

Tucker pushed away from the desk to start pacing across his floor. “These guys have buildings across the country! That one building had about 50 people working for it and that's not even going into all their bosses. They've been operating for years without anybody catching on! And we don't know what they're capable of! They had something that blocked Danny’s powers, and we still don't know what did it. This is so much bigger than what we usually deal with. We have to wait, get some more information, get some more help-”

“Yeah, like telling everybody!” Spud yelled, “This shouldn't even be an argument, Tucker!”

Tucker stared at the floor, pulling his hat down to where Spud couldn't see his eyes. He was silent for a moment.

“......If we tell them right now, they'll get in over their heads and they'll get hurt and I can't-” Tucker's voice broke.

He took a breath, rubbing his face before looking back at Spud. “I am not sending Danny into a place where they'd turn him into a lab rat.”

“Tucker-”

“All I'm saying is we have to wait.” Tucker interrupted. “We wait, we get more info, we try and get the magical communities more wary around those areas.”

“I don't want to lie to them.”

“I know. Ancients, I know.” Tucker crossed his arms, “But we gotta be smart about this. Are you with me Spud?”

Spud let out a sigh as he slumped in his chair. “... Yeah. Yeah I'm with ya. Let the record show I hate this though.”

“You and me both.” Tucker muttered, “Anyways, plans?”

“You keep hacking into the information.” Spud said. “Send me everything you get and I'll start cross-referencing with the known magical communities when I get them. In the meantime I'll talk to Fu Dawg. He's got a ton of connections and can start spreading the word.”

“What about Lao Shi?”

“I'll talk to him, but I want some more information first.”

“You don't think he'll believe you?”

“No he will. But he'll want to take it straight to the Dragon Council.” Spud scoffed, “It's them I'm worried about.”

The two of them sat there for a moment before Spud said, “This sucks.”

Tucker started giggling, “Understatement man. But we got this. Someone has to protect those losers.”

“Heck yeah man!” Spud held up a fist to the camera, and Tucker did the same as the two of them did their virtual secret handshake.

Someone had to have the heroes’ backs after all.

Juno, out of curiosity, what does an accountant DO? What does it mean to be one? Because I know there's math involved. I've heard it's very boring. But I don't know anything else and I'm curious because you're very good at putting things to words.

Okay first of all, I cannot express just how excited I got when I first saw this message. There is nothing I love more than talking about things I know about, and usually when my career is mentioned I don't get questions so much as immediate "Oh, bless you" and "I could never"s. Which- totally fair! For some people, accounting would be boring as all hell! But for a multitude of reasons, I adore it.

There are multiple types of accounting. The type most people tend to be more familiar with is that done by CPAs- CPAs, or Certified Public Accountants, are those that have done the lengthy and expensive process to be certified to handle other peoples' tax documents and submit taxes in their name, amongst other things. Yawn, taxes, right? Well, the thing with that is that there's a lot of little loopholes that tax accountants have to remain familiar with, because saving their clients a little more here or getting a little more back there can really add up, and can do a lot for people who, say, have enough money to afford to hire someone to do their taxes but not necessarily enough to be going hog wild with. Public accountants can work for large firms or by themselves, and also do things like preparing financial statements for businesses, auditing businesses to ensure all of their financial transactions are true and accurately reported to shareholders and clients, and consulting on how finances can be managed to maximize profit (money in - money out = profit, in very simple terms).

The type of accounting I do is private accounting! That basically just means that I work for a company in their in-house accounting/finance department. Private accounting tends to get split up into several different areas. My company has Payroll, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable.

Payroll handles everyone's paychecks, PTO, ensuring the correct amount of taxes are withheld from individuals per their desires, and so on. Accounts Receivable handles money flow into the company- so when our company sells the product/service, our Accounts Receivable people are the ones who review the work, create the invoices, send the invoices to the clients, remind clients about overdue invoices, receive incoming payments via ACH (Automatic Clearing House- direct bank-to-bank deposits), Wire (Usually used for international transactions), or Check, and prepare statements that show how much revenue we are expected to gain in a period of time, or have gained in a period of time. This requires a lot of interfacing with clients and project managers.

My department is Accounts Payable. Accounts Payable does basically the other side of the coin from what Accounts Receivable does. We work mostly with vendors and our purchasing/receiving departments. We receive invoices from people and companies that have sold us products/services we need in order to make our own products/perform our services, enter them into our ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, a system that integrates the departments in a company together- there are many different ERPs, and most people simply refer to their ERP as "the system" when talking internally to other employees of the same company that they work at, because saying the name of the system is redundant) using a set of codes that automatically places the costs into appropriate groups to be referenced for later financial reports, and run the payment processing to ensure that the vendors are being paid.

To break that down because I know that was a lot of words, here's some things I do in my day-to-day at work:

- Reconciliations, making sure two different statements match up: the most common one is Credit Card reconciliations, ensuring that there are appropriately coded entries in the system that match the payments made on our credit line in our bank.

- Invoice entry: this is basic data entry, for the most part. This can have two different forms, though

- Purchase Order Invoice entry: Invoices that are matched both to the service/product provided from the vendor and the purchase order created by our Purchasing/Receiving department. We ensure that the item, the quantity, and the price all match between our records, the purchase order, and the invoice, before we enter this.

- Hard Coded Invoice entry: Invoices that we enter manually due to there being no Purchase Order for them. This is often recurring services, like cleaning or repairs, that may happen too often or have prices vary too much for Purchase Orders to be practical.

- Cleaning up old purchase orders: sometimes Purchase Orders are put in the system and then never fulfilled. Because this shows on financial statements as being a long-standing open commitment, it looks bad, so we have to periodically research these and find out if the vendor simply didn't send us the invoice, if the order was cancelled, or if something else is going on.

- Forensics! This is my personal favorite part of the job, where someone has massively borked something that is affecting my work, and so I go dig into it, sometimes going back as four or five years in records to find the origin point of the first mistake, and untangling the threads of what happened following that mistake to get us to where we are today. There's an entire field called Forensic Accounting that is basically just doing This but for other companies (it's a subset of auditing, and often is done via the IRS) and that's my dream position to be totally honest. I loooove the dopamine hit i get with solving the mystery and getting praised for doing so faster than anyone else has even begun to realize the problem to start with.

- Balancing Credits/Debits: This is more of a Main Accountant role thing, but the long and short of it is that every business has Assets, Liabilities, and Equity. Liabilities and Equity are what we put into the company/what we owe, and assets are what we have received/what we are owed. Anything that increases Assets or lowers Liabilities or Equity is a Debit. Anything that decreases Assets or raises Liabilities or Equity is a Credit. Every monetary change we process has to include an equal Debit and Credit. This is its own whole lecture, so if you wanna know more about double-entry accounting, let me know, but it's yawnsville for most people.

- Actually cutting checks or initiating bank payments to vendors for amounts we owe them.

- Vendor communication: I'm on the phones and email a lot with vendors who are wondering where their payment is, or why something was short-paid, or if I can change some of their info in our system, and so on and so on. Every job is customer service, unfortunately. I don't love it, but I do a lot less of it in private accounting than I would have to do in public accounting.

- Spreadsheets: I make so many spreadsheets I am a goddamn Excel wizard. I love spreadsheets. This isn't necessarily accounting-specific though, most people in Finance jobs love spreadsheets, or at least use them to make their lives easier. I make them just for fun, because I'm a giant fucking nerd who finds that kind of thing enjoyable lol. So if you ever need a spreadsheet made for anything, hit me up.

As for math, that's a pretty common misconception. While there is math, it is very rarely more complicated than "I paid $3 of the $8 I owe, now I owe $5" for me. There are some formulas you learn in school (Business Administration with a focus in Accounting is what I studied), but they're also pretty standard and rarely include more than like... basic algebra. Which. Thanks @ god because I flunked so hard out of pre-calc in college. I could not have done accounting if it really were all that math heavy.

Aaaand yeah! That's all I've got off the top of my head- if you have any more questions about it, do let me know, I'm happy to ramble on for hours, but I'm cutting it here so I don't start meandering on without direction lol.

Building Your Own Operating System: A Beginner’s Guide

An operating system (OS) is an essential component of computer systems, serving as an interface between hardware and software. It manages system resources, provides services to users and applications, and ensures efficient execution of processes. Without an OS, users would have to manually manage hardware resources, making computing impractical for everyday use.

Lightweight operating system for old laptops

Functions of an Operating System

Operating systems perform several crucial functions to maintain system stability and usability. These functions include:

1. Process Management

 The OS allocates resources to processes and ensures fair execution while preventing conflicts. It employs algorithms like First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS), Round Robin, and Shortest Job Next (SJN) to optimize CPU utilization and maintain system responsiveness.

2. Memory Management

The OS tracks memory usage and prevents memory leaks by implementing techniques such as paging, segmentation, and virtual memory. These mechanisms enable multitasking and improve overall system performance.

3. File System Management

It provides mechanisms for reading, writing, and deleting files while maintaining security through permissions and access control. File systems such as NTFS, FAT32, and ext4 are widely used across different operating systems.

4. Device Management

 The OS provides device drivers to facilitate interaction with hardware components like printers, keyboards, and network adapters. It ensures smooth data exchange and resource allocation for input/output (I/O) operations.

5. Security and Access Control

 It enforces authentication, authorization, and encryption mechanisms to protect user data and system integrity. Modern OSs incorporate features like firewalls, anti-malware tools, and secure boot processes to prevent unauthorized access and cyber threats.

6. User Interface

 CLI-based systems, such as Linux terminals, provide direct access to system commands, while GUI-based systems, such as Windows and macOS, offer intuitive navigation through icons and menus.

Types of Operating Systems

During the last two decades, it has become commonplace for presidential candidates on both sides of the aisle to pledge to not raise taxes on at least some income groups. For example, in 2008 John McCain promised to not raise taxes on any income group, whereas Barack Obama pledged to not raise taxes on individuals earning less than $200,000 and on families earning less than $250,000. Likewise, in 2016 Donald Trump pledged to reduce taxes for the middle class, and Hillary Clinton pledged to not raise taxes on individuals earning less than $250,000. Most recently, in 2020 Joe Biden pledged to not raise taxes on anyone making less than $400,000, and in 2024 Kamala Harris re-affirmed this commitment.

These pledges are clearly made to insulate “middle-class” households (and middle-class voters!) from increases in their taxes. Therefore, they are also a statement about who should bear the burden of financing federal spending and how progressive the tax system should be.

But these pledges also complicate the development and implementation of good tax policy. By design, they place a large share of the tax base “off the table,” making it harder to raise revenue. Less obviously, these pledges also make it harder to raise revenue from higher-income households because they effectively exempt a portion of higher-income households’ income from taxation. This makes it harder to increase the progressivity of the income tax. Finally, these pledges can make it politically or practically difficult to enact and implement new tax or spending programs. This has caused some awkward episodes in the past and could make it difficult to negotiate a future deficit reduction deal by taking certain policies off the table before the discussion even starts.

To illustrate the revenue and distributional effects of these types of pledges, we estimate the effect of increasing statutory income tax rates by 10% under different income exemption thresholds using the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center microsimulation model. We consider the effect of five salient thresholds: $0; $100,000; $250,000; $400,000; and $1,000,000. In this exercise, the function of the pledge is to exempt taxpayers under the threshold from the tax increase. Specifically, we assume the threshold applies to married couples filing jointly based on adjusted gross income. The threshold for non-married filers is set to be half as large as that of married filers.

We apply the 10% tax increase to all individual income tax rates, including those that apply to capital gains and under the Alternative Minimum Tax (but not other taxes, like payroll taxes or the net investment income tax). In each simulation that we estimate, the change in tax rate for any group over the threshold is exactly the same—a 10% increase in all rates over the threshold. In other words, the only differences in revenues and tax rates across simulations arise from the change in thresholds. (To focus on the main points of this paper, we are assuming there is no change in behavior under alternative tax regimes.)

We assume these tax rate increases affect the 2025 tax year. We choose this base to ensure that the lower individual tax rates provisioned by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act are still in effect. The TPC microsimulation model predicts that total tax receipts will be $4.8 trillion in 2025 and that the average federal tax rate paid by Americans will be 19.8%.

Note that our policy example, even without a threshold, would increase tax rates more in absolute terms for higher-income taxpayers because it is a proportional increase in tax rates within a system already characterized by steeply progressive tax rates. For example, under this policy the lowest bracket tax rate rises by just one percentage point (from 10 to 11%), whereas the rate facing those in the top bracket increases by 3.7 percentage points (from 37 to 40.7%).

fun facts about my new job: i used to work here before grad school, and the timekeeping system changed a little less than a year after i started. after that point, my paychecks were fucked up frequently. like, every other month. i would get overpaid, and they'd garnish my next paycheck. or i'd get underpaid, and nothing would happen until i pointed it out (🙃). i was working what was (at the time) a new type of position that was funded by two different budgets, and apparently this is what fucked up specifically my pay so much. it got to the point that they had to hold a whole meeting about it with payroll and hr and me and my boss. after that they fucked it up less. i should say, the actual job was fine! i liked working there (which is why i came back). but the paycheck shit was annoying and sometimes stressful. i know from talking to coworkers that they fuck up other people's paychecks sometimes too, so it wasn't fully unique to me (even though i think it did happen to me more than most).

well now i'm back in a new position, and guess what! they underpaid me on my very first paycheck lmao. i pointed it out to them, and the payroll guy (same guy as before btw) was of course very apologetic and got to fixing it. he processed things and emailed back last week like "the deposit should hit tomorrow afternoon :)" so i checked and uh. it seemed smaller than i thought it was supposed to be. so i did some math, and, lo and behold, they did in fact still manage to short me over $800. i emailed the payroll guy again and yet again he is very apologetic and issuing me another check. so they've managed to fuck up one paycheck multiple times. which is honestly kind of impressive at this point.

i almost feel bad writing this whole story about it because the payroll guy is SUPER nice about it each time. like this time in particular, he kept thanking me for being so patient and kind (because i was very polite and nice in my emails). i guess he's gotten angry emails/calls from people before, which, fair, being shorted money does make people stressed and angry, particularly when you are depending on that money for rent. i have the benefit of not being that stressed about it this time because i had enough for all my expenses this month. i've actually found this whole situation kind of amusing at this point. so, again, i don't want to be mean to payroll guy. but also. come on, dude. idk if it's you or the timekeeping system or both, but i feel like this should not be happening this often.

Bookkeeping vs. Accounting: What is the Difference?

Bookkeeping and accounting are two essential functions that come into play when it comes to the management of financial records and the guaranteeing of a business's ability to operate without hiccups. There are substantial distinctions between the two, despite the fact that they are frequently used interchangeably with one another. In this blog post, we will discuss the fundamental distinctions between bookkeeping and accounting, as well as the contributions that each makes to the overall success of organisations operating in a variety of fields. VNC Global, a prominent bookkeeping services provider in Australia with more than a decade of expertise, is familiar with the complexities of these functions and is here to throw light on the distinctions.

The Essence of Bookkeeping:

The practice of maintaining accurate books and records is essential to any viable accounting system. It entails recording and organising in a methodical manner all of the financial transactions that have taken place. Bookkeepers are accountable for keeping records of a company's income and spending, accounts payable and receivable, along with other types of financial transactions, in a manner that is accurate and up to date. Their primary concern is making certain that all of the financial information is correctly recorded, categorised, and archived so that it can be accessed and analysed at a later time.

Key responsibilities of bookkeepers include:

Recording daily financial transactions

Maintaining general ledgers

Handling payroll processing

Managing bank reconciliations

Issuing and recording invoices

Monitoring accounts payable and receivable

Generating financial reports for management review

The Scope of Accounting:

On the other hand, accounting comprises a wider variety of operations related to financial management. It entails analysing, interpreting, and summarising the financial data that bookkeepers have recorded in the books. Accountants make use of this information in order to offer business owners and those in charge of decision-making important insights and strategic recommendations. Their knowledge is vital for ensuring that one may make well-informed judgements regarding one's finances and remain in accordance with applicable tax legislation.

Key responsibilities of accountants include:

Preparing financial statements like income statements, cash flow statements, balance sheets, etc.

Identify patterns and trends by analyzing the financial data

Providing financial advice and strategic planning

Conducting financial audits and ensuring compliance

Assisting in budgeting and forecasting

Tax planning and preparation

Skills and Qualifications:

Bookkeeping and accounting are two separate but related disciplines that demand distinct skill sets and qualifications. Bookkeepers often have extensive knowledge and experience in the areas of data input, and record keeping, and are conversant with accounting software. Although bookkeepers are not often required to have a formal degree, many do have certifications in their field, such as Xero or QuickBooks, to demonstrate their level of expertise.

On the other hand, it is common for employers to need accountants to have a higher degree of education in addition to certain professional certifications. The majority of accountants have degrees in accounting, finance, or other subjects linked to accounting, in addition to certificates like CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or CMA (Certified Management Accountant). Because of their in-depth understanding of fundamental financial concepts and their extensive experience in this area, they are able to deliver useful financial insights and make strategic recommendations for the company.

Timeframe and Frequency:

In most cases, the responsibilities associated with bookkeeping are completed once per day or once per week. It is essential to keep financial records up to date in order to maintain accuracy and ensure that accounting processes proceed without a hitch. In contrast, accounting duties are more periodic in nature and are typically carried out on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on the demands of the company and the regulations imposed by the regulatory authorities.

Focus on Compliance and Strategy:

The primary goals of bookkeeping are to keep accurate records and to adhere to the rules and regulations that govern the industry. It lays the framework for proper financial reporting by ensuring that the financial transactions of the company are correctly recorded and organised. On the other side, accounting places a strong emphasis on decision-making, in addition to strategic planning and financial analysis. Bookkeepers generate financial data, which accountants then analyse in order to assist firms in understanding their current financial health, locating areas in which they may improve, and making long-term growth plans.

Final Thoughts:

Even though bookkeeping and accounting are very closely tied to one another, they are used for very different things when it comes to the management of a company's finances. VNC Global, which is regarded among the best bookkeepers services provider in Australia, is aware of the significance of both roles in ensuring the continued prosperity and financial well-being of a wide range of business sectors.

Contractor vs. Employee Payroll: What’s the Difference in 2025?

In today’s evolving workforce, businesses are increasingly relying on both full-time employees and independent contractors to meet their staffing needs. But when it comes to payroll, the differences between contractors and employees are significant—not just in terms of payment structures, but also with regards to taxes, benefits, and compliance. As we move into 2025, understanding these distinctions is critical for businesses to avoid legal pitfalls and ensure they’re using the right payroll system for each type of worker.

In this blog, we’ll explore the key differences between contractor and employee payroll, how contractor payroll services can help manage these distinctions, and what businesses need to know moving forward.

1. Employment Classification: Contractor vs. Employee

One of the primary distinctions between contractors and employees lies in their classification. Employees are typically hired on a full-time or part-time basis with a long-term commitment to the company, while contractors are independent workers hired for specific projects or tasks with a set timeframe.

For payroll purposes, this classification is crucial, as employees are subject to different tax regulations and legal obligations than contractors. Misclassifying workers can result in penalties and fines from tax authorities.

2. Payment Structures: Salary vs. Hourly vs. Project-Based

The payment method is where contractors and employees diverge the most.

Employees: Employees are typically paid on a regular basis, such as weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Their compensation may come in the form of a salary or an hourly wage, with deductions for taxes, benefits, and retirement contributions made directly by the employer.

Contractors: Contractors, on the other hand, are usually paid per project, on a retainer, or hourly depending on their contract terms. They are responsible for handling their own taxes and benefits, as they operate as independent business entities. Payments to contractors are often more flexible and may be contingent upon milestones or deliverables.

Tip: Using contractor payroll services helps ensure that contractors are paid on time and according to their agreed terms, without the administrative burden on the employer.

3. Tax Responsibilities: Who Handles What?

Taxes are one of the biggest differences between contractor and employee payroll.

Employees: Employers are responsible for withholding federal, state, and local taxes from employee paychecks. They also contribute to Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance, and other benefits. These taxes are automatically deducted from the employee’s paycheck.

Contractors: Contractors are responsible for their own taxes. This includes paying the full amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes (often referred to as the self-employment tax), as well as income taxes. Employers do not withhold any taxes from contractor payments. Contractors are also required to file quarterly tax returns in some cases.

If your business works with contractors, it's crucial to use contractor payroll services that comply with the unique tax rules and offer the necessary paperwork, such as 1099 forms in the U.S., to ensure proper reporting.

4. Benefits and Perks: A Big Divide

Employees are entitled to various benefits under the law, including:

Health insurance (in many cases)

Retirement contributions

Paid time off (PTO)

Sick leave

Worker’s compensation

Contractors, by contrast, do not receive these benefits as they are not employees of the company. They are responsible for providing their own health insurance and retirement plans. This is another reason why many businesses prefer to use contractor payroll services—to simplify payment and ensure compliance when it comes to tax obligations.

5. Worker’s Compensation and Liability

Another significant difference is the issue of worker’s compensation and liability. Employees are generally covered by worker’s compensation insurance, which provides benefits if they are injured on the job. Contractors, however, are not entitled to these protections from the business they’re contracted with. Contractors typically carry their own insurance or are covered under their own business’s policies.

For businesses, it’s important to know the legal obligations and liabilities when it comes to both contractors and employees to avoid any potential risks.

6. Flexibility and Control: Independence vs. Supervision

From a management perspective, employees tend to have more structure. Employers have control over when, where, and how employees complete their work. This includes setting specific working hours and maintaining oversight of the employee’s tasks and responsibilities.

Contractors, however, are more independent. They are typically hired for specific tasks or projects and have more control over their work schedule and methods. Contractors are expected to meet the agreed-upon outcomes, but how they get there is up to them.

For businesses, understanding these distinctions helps set expectations for both parties and ensures that the correct payroll method is applied to the right workers.

7. The Role of Contractor Payroll Services in 2025

As the workforce becomes more diverse and contract-based work continues to rise, many businesses are turning to specialized contractor payroll services to handle the complexities of paying independent workers. These services simplify contractor payments, tax reporting, and compliance, ensuring that contractors are paid on time and businesses remain compliant with tax laws.

Key benefits of contractor payroll services include:

Accurate tax reporting (1099s, invoices, etc.)

Timely and flexible payments

Enhanced compliance with federal and state regulations

Reduced administrative workload for the business

For businesses working with a mix of employees and contractors, outsourcing payroll to a dedicated provider offers peace of mind and ensures smooth operations.

Conclusion: Choose the Right Payroll System for Your Workforce

As more businesses continue to adapt to an increasingly flexible workforce in 2025, understanding the key differences between contractor vs. employee payroll is crucial. Each comes with its own set of tax, legal, and operational responsibilities, which can be complex to navigate.

By partnering with a professional contractor payroll service, businesses can streamline payments, ensure compliance, and focus on what matters most: growing their teams and operations. Whether you have a few contractors or a large, diverse team, understanding these differences will help you manage payroll with greater efficiency and accuracy.

Online Attendance Software: How does it make your work easy?

When we talk about work, the one thing that is most important in every organization is employee attendance. Earlier we used to use manual registers, time cards, or sign-in sheets, which were not only time-consuming but there was also a fear of mistakes. But nowadays, online attendance software has changed everything and made many things easy.

A edge of Simplicity and Convenience The biggest advantage of online attendance software is its simplicity and convenience. Just think, if everything is at a click, then work becomes so much easier. Employees can mark attendance with their login credentials, whether they are in the office or at a remote location. There is no need for manual entries or physical attendance register. Everything becomes digital and accurate.

Real-Time Monitoring: Update of every moment When you need to track the attendance of your employees in real-time, then online attendance software becomes your best friend. Attendance of every employee is updated instantly. Time-in, time-out or leave request — everything is updated in a centralized system. This gives you an accurate record of the working hours of every employee, without any confusion.

Automated Reports: More Work in Less Time During manual attendance, reporting mistakes were common, and this wasted a lot of time. But online attendance software automates everything. If an employee has made a late entry or taken leave, everything is automatically recorded. You can easily generate attendance, leaves, and overtime reports, which makes payroll and HR processes very smooth.

Difference between Accuracy and Transparency When attendance was tracked manually, sometimes employees felt that their time record was wrong, or they were being treated unfairly. But online attendance software increases transparency. Everything is tracked automatically, so there is no misunderstanding. Employees can see their attendance records, which gives them trust and removes any confusion.

Cost and Time Efficiency If you use traditional attendance systems, you have to invest time and resources in creating manual records and preparing reports. Online attendance software automates all these processes, which ultimately saves both time and cost. You do not need new registers, nor is time wasted in creating manual records.

Security: Data is safe Another important factor is security. Online attendance software stores your employees' data securely. When we talk about physical attendance registers or timecards, securing the data in them is a bit challenging. But online systems are encrypted, which protects sensitive information. No unauthorized person can access your data.

Flexibility: Perfect for Every Type of Workforce Whether your employees work in the office or do remote work, online attendance software fits in every scenario. Nowadays hybrid work culture has been kept in mind, and this software provides a flexible attendance tracking solution for every employee.
