What is the Diocesan Payroll Program?
The Diocese of South Carolina has joined the Payroll National Account Program formed as a partnership between the Episcopal Church and Paychex Payroll Services. By joining this program, the Diocesan Office now has the resources to offer Parishes and Missions a payroll service, thus relieving you of the responsibility of processing your payrolls.

You save Time and Money
There is a one-time set up charge of $100. There are no expenses associated with hardware or software purchases and you do not have to worry about upgrading. It frees your staff of the time-consuming processing of payrolls and exsures the timeliness and accuracy of your payroll.

Paychex Fees (Effective January 1, 2007)
We are offering this service to you free of charge so you pay only Paychex per check fee. The discounted Paychex per check fee is $1.90, which includes the processing of each check, tax filing, direct deposit and payroll reports. The following list itemizes the standard fee per payroll.

How does it work?
The process is simple! The Diocesan Office will set up your payroll on their Paychex software as a separate company code using your identification numbers for tax filings. You would provide your payroll data to the diocesan office who will enter and transmit your payroll to Paychex. Paychex generates the checks and reports, prepares the tax filings and debits your bank account for the taxes and fees. Paychex will send the paychecks and reports directly to you via Priority Overnight FedEx delivery.

How do you enroll in the Diocesan Payroll Program?
Complete the application, indicating a possible start date and return it to the Diocesan Office. Paychexs only allows us to set up new payrolls within the first three quarters of the year. Linda Bunting will contact you and set up a time approximately 2 months before the beginning of the next quarter to meet with you. At this meeting you will complete the tax filing forms, compile the banking and pay information, discuss the earning and deduction coding, design the format for communicating with the diocesan office and address any questions or concerns you might have. Your Diocesan Office will then take responsibility for implementing your payroll setup.
