 1. Choose the Service Arrangement

We confirm whether you need standalone payroll, payroll coordinated with bookkeeping, or full-service PEO support. The service scope, responsibilities, deadlines, and any PEO eligibility requirements are documented.

2. Review Payroll Information

We review employee information, pay schedules, compensation, deductions, tax jurisdictions, prior payroll records, and available year-to-date balances.

3. Complete Setup and Verification

Payroll tax accounts, employee balances, banking authorizations, deductions, benefits, and reporting access are configured and reviewed before payroll begins.

4. Begin Scheduled Payroll

You submit approved payroll changes by the agreed cutoff. C3 processes payroll and provides the applicable reports, tax administration, and support included in your service scope.
