How we assess providers
Every provider listed carries a PayrollModo Rating and any badges they qualify for, so you can judge fit before you request an estimate.
We have confirmed the provider is a real, operating payroll service and that the details on their listing are accurate. How we verify
Runs payroll, withholding, and filings in more than one state, which matters if your team works across state lines.
Has completed an independent SOC 2 audit of how it handles and protects sensitive employee and banking data.
Awarded at 5, 15, and 30 years of continuous operation, based on public business registration records.
Assigns a specific person to your account rather than routing every question through a general support queue.
Pays employees or contractors outside the United States, either directly or through an employer of record.
Offers month to month service with no multi-year commitment and no early termination penalty.
Publishes its base and per-employee pricing publicly instead of requiring a sales call to learn the cost.
Badges are reviewed periodically. If a provider no longer qualifies, the badge is removed from their listing. See how we verify providers or read our full methodology.
