While it calculates federal, state, and local taxes in addition to generating tax forms (like W-2s and 1099s), TimeTrex doesn’t remit and file taxes for you. It would have gotten a higher score if not for its limited employee payment options (only offers direct deposits and checks) and very basic payroll tax services. Scoring an overall rating of 4.28 out of 5, TimeTrex earned perfect marks in nearly all our criteria. You even get an online time clock that lets your employees clock in/out through web browsers. Aside from pay processing, it has time tracking, scheduling, paid time off (PTO) monitoring, and HR management solutions that you can access at no cost. TimeTrex is our top-recommended free payroll software for small businesses because it does more than Payroll4Free and HR.my.
