You Don't Need to Outsource Your Payroll Any Longer

Whether you have one employee or 1000, our Payroll module provides everything your company needs to pay employees, manage taxes, and support any number of standard or unique deductions. Imagine the money you will save!

Whatever pay method you use — hourly, salary, hourly and salary combined, per-diem, contract or piece work — Cougar Mountain Payroll handles them all and easily handles multiple pay rates for each employee. It automatically calculates all taxes, benefits and deductions. It even handles employees working in multiple states. Cougar Mountain Payroll guides you through each step. We work hard to make your payroll process easy.

Cougar Mountain Payroll can run as a standalone module or be integrated to Cougar Mountain’s General Ledger module.
