Software Updates

Pay Rate Description Break-out

Do you have an employee who receives different pay rates for working different jobs? Ever wish you could see those pay rate descriptions front and center in your payroll reports? With our new updates to the Payroll Register report, you can.

Approve Payroll Update

To approve or not to approve? That is the question. But if you decide to approve, we’ve added another button at the top of the “Approve Payroll” (step 2) page to save you from scrolling down to the bottom. It’s the little things that shave off time from your tasks that make Patriot so user-friendly. […]

Contribution Labels and Boxes Prefilled

W-2 labels and boxes got you feeling like you’ve got another mystery on your hands? We get it. W-2s are a bit confusing if you’re not schooled on IRS regulations. Sure, you could scour the IRS website to find the info you need, but you’re a business owner, not a part of the Scooby-Doo gang. […]

Add or Cancel Software Page Update

Our Add or Cancel Software page just got a facelift. We’ve updated the interface to make it more user-friendly for our customers to add or remove software products. And new customers, we haven’t forgotten about you! We applied our new, user-friendly interface to our Pick Your Products page in the setup wizard, too.

2022 W-2s Are Now Live

Early birds, rejoice! 2022 Forms W-2 are now live in your payroll account, which means when your payrolls are finished for the year, you can print your W-2s right away. And to make things even easier, you can post to the employee portals if your employee has consented!

Chart of Accounts Import

Switching from costly over-complicated accounting software just got easier. Now, new accounting users can import their Chart of Accounts in Patriot’s accounting software. The Chart of Accounts import, along with importing your vendors, customers, and trial balance, makes setting up Patriot accounting software a snap.

Dual-Ledger Accounting Now Patented

Our Dual-Ledger Accounting has been granted a patent by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. So, you know what that means? Say goodbye to the days when you’d “duel it out” with your accountant. Patriot’s newly patented Dual-Ledger Accounting is here to save you from picking an accounting side. Enjoy the peace of quickly toggling between cash, modified cash, and accrual-basis accounting in your general ledger. Simply choose your preferred accounting method and see all of your transactions the way you want to—no “dueling” necessary.

Employee Pending Statuses

Love checking things off your “to-do” list? We made our newest HR software feature with you in mind. HR software customers can set employee future statuses with effective dates. The employee status changes automatically on the effective date. And, we’ll help you keep track of those employees with future status change with a Pending Status Report so you can put away those sticky notes.

Improved W-2 Creation Process

We’ve made creating W2’s even easier! First, we’ve optimized the W-2 creation so you can download in no time flat, (we’re looking at you large employers). We’ve given more visibility in employee W-2 errors so you can correct info before you hand them out to employees. To top it off, our Employee W2 report is now searchable and easier to filter who needs a W2, who has allowed for electronic W2s and who needs a paper copy.

Net to Gross Payroll

Put that Jelly-of-the-Month club form away. Paying bonuses to employees on your “nice list” is as easy as pie with our new Net to Gross Payroll tool.

We’re excited to have simplified bonuses and gift cards. You can enter the net pay or gift card amount your employees receive, and Patriot will “gross-up” the amount, so payroll taxes are calculated and deducted. Ready to make bonus day your employees’ favorite day of the year?
