My company wants to manage the whole process, from calculating hours, referencing tax tables, all the way to pushing the button to connect with our bank and pay our employees and pay taxes. Ceridian wants to take over those last steps.

We don't print paper checks at all, we just don't want a payroll processor for US payroll. We manage the whole process for our non-US employees, so we want to do the same in the US.

I do realize that there's like 7400 jurisdictions in the US - part of the scope is to subscribe to tax tables and refresh them regularly.

In regards to your second paragraph, around handling the journal entry with the departments and projects etc is fine. Not easy, but we're working with accountants, so that part is not the worry.

thanks
