Payroll

Church payroll software inside your accounting.

ChurchGeniusPro includes church payroll software in the same system as your giving and fund accounting, so staff records, payroll runs, and reports sit next to the books they affect.

What it covers

Employees, payroll runs, and the reports your treasurer needs

Keep employee records, create payroll runs on your pay schedule, and approve them. For each run, the payroll register shows gross pay, federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, pre-tax and post-tax deductions, and net pay, with the employer tax liability totaled at the top.

One system

Why payroll belongs next to your books

When payroll lives in a separate service, someone re-enters totals into the church’s books every pay period. Keeping payroll in the same system as income, expenses, funds, and financial reports means one place to look when the board asks where the money went.

Recurring entries such as salaries can also be set up once and entered on schedule.
