Need to learn how to do payroll. Or do I?

[Steve Griffin]

Looking for advice on methods for a small woodshop to handle payroll for one or two employees.

For 10 years I've had my local temp service handle my payroll. I'd call in my employees hours they did the rest, except for workers comp. Technically, they were the temp service employees.

They charged 19% to do absolutely everything but the workers comp., which I thought was a great deal.

But they can no longer do that, thanks to listening to the advice of a lawyer.

SO-- Should I suck it up and learn how to do payroll myself (something I would hate every second of as I'm already overloaded with work).

OR get some software? (I use Mac)

Or use an online payroll service?

Or hire a bookkeeper?

Or see if I can find employees who will work just to hear my jokes and fashion advice?

Thanks for any help!
