Unified Payroll Operations

One platform to manage your entire payroll workflow, from time entry to payment

Acumatica Payroll integrates directly with your financials, project accounting, construction, manufacturing, and distribution modules, so data flows across your business without manual re-entry. Recurring schedules, automated batch creation, and time-data imports eliminate repetitive steps, while supervisor approvals, multi-level routing, and missing-time reminders keep data clean before every run. Acumatica also connects with leading time systems, including ExakTime, ADP, and Workforce Go.

Employees manage their own profiles, direct deposit details, tax forms, and paystubs through a mobile-first self-service experience. Payment distribution supports multi-account direct deposit, on-demand and off-cycle payments, and paper checks with MICR printing, backed by secure bank file generation on every cycle.

Stay audit-ready and protect sensitive payroll data at every step

Acumatica automatically detects tax jurisdictions and keeps federal, FICA, state, and local tax tables current. The patented Aatrix eFiling process supports more than 330 state and federal forms, including W-2, 1099, T4A, ROE, and ACA filings. Compliance dashboards surface upcoming deadlines, and every payroll change is captured in a full audit trail so your team is always prepared.

Role-based access ensures that payroll staff, HR, supervisors, and employees each see only what they need. Tax forms, paystubs, and compliance documents are stored securely within the platform, giving finance leaders the control and visibility they require.

See exactly where your labor dollars are going, in real time

Allocate labor costs by project, task, cost code, department, union, or shift to give project managers and finance leaders an accurate picture of spending. Built-in certified payroll calculations support construction workflows, while real-time labor cost data surfaces directly in operational dashboards.

Customizable KPIs, overtime trend analysis, labor cost forecasting, and PTO liability reporting give payroll managers the insights they need to act quickly. Dashboards are accessible from any browser or device, so your team can make informed decisions wherever they are.
