REQUIREMENTS

Q:  What is needed to use PayrollPAM?

Q:  Do I have to start using PayrollPAM at the beginning of the calendar year?
A:  You can start using PayrollPAM any time during the year.  If you have already paid employees during the year, you will need to enter year-to-date data so that payroll calculations are accurate and up-to-date.  Don't worry, we can help you set up your account so that you can be sure that your account is setup correctly.  (All we ask is that you consider making a charitable donation to your supported charity in exchange for our help, but that is optional, not mandatory.)

GIVING TO CHARITY

Q:  What do you mean when you say that PayrollPAM donates to local charities?

A:  Our goal at PayrollPAM is to provide a state-of-the-art payroll service at an affordable rate while helping support charitable causes.  $50.00 of every annual subscription payment is donated to the charitable cause that referred that client to PayrollPAM.  If a new client was not referred by a participating charity, then the donations will go to the Sarah Donley Sharing Is Caring Fund, a charitable fund established in 2011 to raise money to help sick children in financial need.  The Sharing Is Caring Fund is managed by the Central PA Community Foundation.
