Payroll - Direct Deposit Feature?
For most payroll services, is direct deposit an included feature? I've been working with a local company to handle our payroll and they want to charge me a "direct deposit fee" for every employee that I have. Is this normal? Are there other service providers that will handle direct deposit for free? Please let me know.

I process payroll and we are charged a flat fee per payroll, bi-monthly. I was not in this position during contract negotiation, so I am not aware if there was a per person fee when we began using them.
Here's a chart that compares 13 payroll companies. Only 3 of them charge a Direct Deposit fee. http://online-payroll-service-review.toptenreviews.com/
That's unfortunate. Did you know or ask them about features before? It's really important to ask questions regarding features, tax filing, charges and references. Questions along the lines of :
What does your basic paycheck payroll service include?
If I use your tax filing service, do you cover the penalties and/or interest charges?
What is the cost for your service for one year, including year-end W-2 forms?
Here are some more good questions you should ask when your business is looking for a payroll service: http://www.buyerzone.com/hr-personnel/payroll-services/bg-payroll-services-qu...
Hello Max,
I have noticed that other payroll providers do charge for a direct deposit. However, WE DO NOT. Our fee schedule is weekly, bi-weekly and monthly. If you have 150 or less employees, we can help you process your payroll. We charge $35.95 bi-monthly with the first 5 ee's free.
