FAQ
Does this work for single-state vs multi-state payroll selection?
Yes. Switch the state coverage focus — single-state emphasizes local-tax depth; multi-state emphasizes coverage breadth and reciprocity handling.
Can the agent surface vendor tax-filing penalty history?
Yes. Train the agent on public compliance records and class-action databases. It flags vendors with material penalty history before the panel scores.
What plan supports a payroll RFP?
Pro ($16/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($40/mo) adds compliance audit retention HR procurement typically requires.
