Although this issue’s column does not feature payroll software service providers or software vendors, it is not because of a lack of sites online. A simple search of “payroll software” or “payroll service provider” should produce enough results to last you the day. Or easier still, check the technology section of Canadian HR Reporter’s HR Guide 2000. The Web addresses that follow are some good sites that provide practical information and resources to make sure that your payroll staff is kept up to date.
