Our Payroll Process

Payroll is typically communicated to CPS two days prior to check day. Once we receive your payroll, the following process occurs:

– A CPS dedicated Account Manager reviews your client file.
– CPS prints checks, direct deposit vouchers and payroll reports.
– CPS sends an email version of reports and check stubs.
– CPS stuffs checks and reports in delivery envelopes.
– CPS delivers your payroll package next-day via courier, UPS or mail.
– CPS debits the client’s account for tax dollars and deposits funds to tax agencies on check day.
– CPS debits the client account for all direct deposit dollars and routes the funds to the employee bank accounts.
– CPS sends all garnishment and child support checks to the appropriate agencies.

This entire process occurs at our San Diego Headquarters location.
