How to run payroll in Greece

Greece employers are required to pay employees monthly. The standard pay date is the last working day of each month.

Most companies process payroll between the 25th and the last day of the month. You'll need to factor in bank processing time – typically 1-2 business days – to ensure employees receive payment on time.

Legal payment requirements

Greek labor law requires payment by the end of each month. Late payment can result in penalties and potential employee claims for compensation.

Employers must pay salaries in euros, even for international companies. You can't pay Greek employees in other currencies without proper authorization.

What about 13th and 14th salary payments?

Greece mandates both 13th and 14th salary payments. These aren't bonuses – they're legally required components of annual compensation.

The 13th salary (Christmas bonus) equals 1/12 of annual earnings. You'll pay half in December and half before Orthodox Easter. The 14th salary (holiday bonus) equals 1/24 of annual earnings and is paid in two installments before summer holidays (typically June and August).

Payment Type	Amount	Payment Schedule	Tax Treatment
13th salary	1/12 annual earnings	50% in December, 50% before Easter	Taxed as regular income
14th salary	1/24 annual earnings	Split into two payments (June, August)	Taxed as regular income

Both payments include all regular salary components – base pay, allowances, and regular bonuses. They're subject to standard income tax and social security contributions.

Calculating the payments

Calculate these bonuses based on the employee's gross monthly salary during the reference period. Include any regular allowances or supplements that form part of normal pay.

For new employees, prorate the amounts based on months worked. An employee who joins in July receives half the 13th and 14th salary amounts in their first year.

How does vacation pay work?

Greek employees earn 20 working days of paid annual leave (24 days after one year of service). Vacation pay equals regular gross salary during leave periods.

You'll pay vacation days at the employee's current daily rate. Calculate this by dividing monthly gross salary by 25 (the standard working days per month in Greece).

Employees can't waive their vacation entitlement for additional pay, except upon termination. When employment ends, you must pay out all accrued unused vacation days at the current daily rate.

Holiday pay during vacation

Greece requires an additional holiday allowance equal to 50% of regular pay for vacation days taken. This means employees receive 1.5x their normal daily rate during vacation periods.

Pay this allowance together with regular salary in the month vacation is taken. Include it in gross pay for tax and social security calculation purposes.

What payment methods are allowed?

Bank transfer is the only acceptable payment method for Greek payroll. Cash payments aren't permitted for regular employees under standard employment contracts.

You must transfer salaries to Greek bank accounts in euros. Employees need to provide their IBAN and bank details before their first pay date.

Set up transfers 2-3 business days before the payment deadline to account for bank processing time. Most Greek banks process domestic transfers within 24 hours, but build in buffer time for potential delays.

International company considerations

International companies without a Greek bank account must establish local banking relationships or use an Employer of Record. You can't process Greek payroll from foreign accounts due to regulatory requirements.

Consider foreign exchange timing if converting from another currency. Lock in rates before the payment deadline to avoid currency fluctuation impacts on net pay amounts.

What must payslips include?

Greek payslips must show detailed breakdowns of gross pay, all deductions, and net pay. Employees have the legal right to receive itemized payslips each pay period.

Required payslip elements:

• Employer and employee identification details
• Pay period dates
• Gross salary breakdown (base pay, allowances, overtime)
• Employee social security contributions (detailed by type)
• Income tax withheld
• Any other deductions (loans, garnishments)
• Net pay amount
• Employer social security contributions (for transparency)
• Year-to-date totals

Payslips must be in Greek. If you operate in English internally, you'll still need Greek-language payslips for compliance.

Delivery and record-keeping

Provide payslips by the payment date each month. You can deliver them electronically through secure employee portals or email, or provide paper copies.

Maintain payslip records for five years minimum. Greek labor inspectors can request historical payroll documentation during audits, and employees may need past payslips for loan applications or disputes.

Store copies securely with appropriate data protection measures. Payslips contain sensitive personal and financial information subject to GDPR requirements in Greece.

Before your first payroll run in Greece, you'll need a tax identification number (AFM) and registration with the tax authority (AADE). The employer handles all withholding, and Greek tax rates for 2027 remain progressive across five brackets.

Income tax brackets

Greece applies a progressive income tax system to employment income. The rates for 2027 are:

Annual Income (€)	Tax Rate
€0 - €10,000	9%
€10,001 - €20,000	22%
€20,001 - €30,000	28%
€30,001 - €40,000	36%
Over €40,000	44%

There's no separate tax-free allowance in Greece. The 9% rate applies from the first euro earned. For monthly payroll calculations, divide these thresholds by 12 to get the applicable rate per pay period.

A solidarity contribution applies on top of income tax for higher earners. This ranges from 2.2% on income over €12,000 annually to 10% on income exceeding €200,000. Most employers calculate this monthly alongside income tax withholding.

Withholding requirements

Employers must withhold income tax and solidarity contributions from every paycheck. You're legally responsible for calculating, deducting, and remitting these amounts to AADE.

Monthly tax declarations (Form F2) are due by the last working day of the following month. For January 2027 payroll, you'll file by February 28, 2027. Payment must accompany the declaration—there's no separate grace period.

Annual reconciliation happens through Form F1, due by March 31, 2028 for the 2027 tax year. This reconciles total withholdings against actual tax liability. Any underpayment creates immediate employer liability plus interest at 1.17% monthly.

Employees receive an annual tax certificate (Form Misthodosia) by March 15, 2028. They'll use this for their personal tax returns, due by June 30, 2028.

Tax registration

New employers need an AFM (tax identification number) before hiring anyone. If you're a foreign company without a Greek entity, you'll need to register through AADE's online portal (TAXISnet) or appoint a fiscal representative.

Registration typically takes 5-10 business days. You'll need:

• Company registration documents
• Proof of business address in Greece
• Authorized signatory identification
• Bank account details for tax payments

Once registered, you'll receive TAXISnet credentials for electronic filing. All payroll tax submissions must be electronic—paper filing isn't accepted for employers in 2027.

Register each employee through the Ergani system within one business day of their start date. This links their AFM to your payroll and enables tax withholding reporting.

Special tax considerations

Non-resident employees

Greek-source employment income is taxable for non-residents working in Greece, even temporarily. You'll withhold at the same progressive rates, but non-residents can't claim certain deductions available to residents.

Tax residency depends on where someone spends more than 183 days in a calendar year. If an employee becomes tax resident mid-year, you'll need to recalculate withholding from their first day of work in 2027.

Non-residents from EU countries can often claim tax treaty benefits. This requires a certificate of tax residence from their home country, submitted before you process payroll. Without it, withhold at full Greek rates.

Tax treaty implications

Greece has tax treaties with over 50 countries. These typically prevent double taxation but don't eliminate Greek withholding obligations. The employee claims relief through their home country tax return.

For short-term assignments (under 183 days), some treaties allow exemption from Greek tax if the employer is foreign and doesn't have a Greek permanent establishment. You'll need legal confirmation before applying this—AADE audits these cases closely.

Remote workers and digital nomads

Remote workers physically present in Greece trigger Greek tax withholding obligations, regardless of where the employer is based. The 183-day rule applies here too.

Greece introduced a 50% income tax reduction for certain foreign tax residents who move to Greece in 2027. This applies for seven years but requires specific documentation before the employee's first payroll. Standard withholding applies until approval.

Common tax mistakes

Missing the monthly filing deadline happens more than it should. AADE assesses a €100 penalty per late F2 form, plus 1.17% monthly interest on unpaid tax. Three consecutive late filings can trigger a full payroll audit.

Incorrect solidarity contribution calculations are frequent. Many employers forget to include bonuses and 13th/14th salary payments in the annual income base. This creates underpayment that surfaces during annual reconciliation, with the employer liable for the shortfall.

Failing to register employees in Ergani before their start date carries penalties of €10,500 per unregistered employee. AADE cross-references tax withholding reports against Ergani registrations automatically.

Misclassifying tax residency for international hires leads to incorrect withholding. If someone becomes resident mid-year and you've been withholding as a non-resident, you'll need to recalculate and remit the difference immediately.

Not providing employee tax certificates on time results in €100 penalties per employee per month of delay. The March 15 deadline is firm—employees need these for their personal tax returns.

The biggest employer cost in Greece? Social security contributions at 24.81%. That's before you add pension, unemployment, and other mandatory contributions that push your total burden well above 30% of gross salary.

Contribution breakdown

Here's what you'll pay on every salary in 2027:

Contribution Type	Employer Rate	Employee Rate	Cap (if any)
Social Security (IKA)	24.81%	16.00%	€7,945.92/month (€95,351/year)
Unemployment Insurance	1.33%	0.43%	Same as social security
Employment Housing Fund (OEK)	0.45%	0.50%	Same as social security
Auxiliary Pension (ETEA)	6.67%	6.67%	Same as social security
Total Mandatory	33.26%	23.60%	-

The social security cap matters more than you'd think. For 2027, contributions stop accruing on monthly earnings above €7,945.92. This creates a significant cost advantage when hiring senior employees.

Total employer cost example

For a €60,000 annual salary, your actual cost breaks down like this:

• Base salary: €60,000
• Social security (24.81%): €14,886
• Unemployment (1.33%): €798
• Housing fund (0.45%): €270
• Auxiliary pension (6.67%): €4,002
• Total employer cost: €79,956
• Cost multiplier: 1.33 (you pay 33% more than base salary)

This 33% burden applies consistently across most salary levels. The contribution cap only kicks in at €95,351 annually, so it won't affect your mid-level hires.

Contribution caps and ceilings

All mandatory contributions share the same ceiling: €7,945.92 per month or €95,351 annually in 2027.

Once an employee's earnings exceed this cap, you stop paying contributions on the excess. For someone earning €120,000 annually, you'll only pay contributions on €95,351. This saves you approximately €8,155 in employer costs.

High earners still receive the same social security benefits as those at the cap. There's no proportional increase for higher contributions because you're not making them.

Registration requirements

You'll need to register with three agencies before your first payroll:

EFKA (Unified Social Security Fund) - Register within 8 days of hiring your first employee. You'll need your Greek tax registration number, business registration documents, and employment contracts. EFKA issues your employer insurance number, which you'll use for all contribution payments.

OAED (Manpower Employment Organization) - Register simultaneously with EFKA. This covers unemployment insurance and requires the same documentation. You'll receive a separate OAED employer number.

ELKE (Auxiliary Insurance Fund) - Registration happens automatically through EFKA for most employers. You'll use your EFKA credentials to access the ELKE system.

Payment deadlines

All contributions are due by the last working day of the month following the pay period. Pay January salaries? Contributions are due by February 28, 2027.

EFKA operates a unified collection system. You'll make one payment that covers social security, unemployment, housing fund, and auxiliary pension. The system automatically allocates your payment across all funds.

Late payments trigger immediate penalties. You'll pay 2% interest for the first month, then 1% for each additional month. These penalties compound monthly and aren't negotiable.

EFKA requires monthly declarations (APA forms) by the 10th of the following month. This declaration precedes your payment and details each employee's earnings and contribution calculations. You can't make your payment without filing the declaration first.

Set up direct debit through EFKA's Ergani system. Manual payments often fail due to incorrect allocation codes, and EFKA won't accept "we paid the wrong way" as an excuse for late payment penalties.

Maternity leave in Greece is 43 weeks at varying rates of pay. Here's how it affects your payroll.

The basic entitlement splits into prenatal (8 weeks) and postnatal (35 weeks) leave. Employees receive 50% of their daily earnings from social security (EFKA), not from your payroll. You don't pay wages during this period, but you do need to coordinate with EFKA and maintain accurate records.

For multiple births, add 14 extra days per additional child. Adoptive mothers get 43 weeks from the date of adoption if the child is under 6 years old.

Annual leave

Greek employees get a minimum of 20 working days of paid annual leave per year. That's four weeks you need to factor into your payroll planning.

The entitlement increases with service length. After one year with the same employer, it jumps to 21 days. After 10 years, employees get 25 days. After 25 years of service (with any employer), they're entitled to 26 days.

How vacation pay is calculated

Vacation pay equals the employee's regular daily wage. Calculate it by dividing their monthly gross salary by 25 (the standard number of working days per month in Greece).

For employees with variable pay, use the average daily earnings from the previous 12 months. Include all regular payments like bonuses and allowances that would normally be paid during that period.

Carryover and payout rules

Employees must take their annual leave within the calendar year. Carryover to the next year requires written agreement between employer and employee, and the carried-over days must be used within the first four months of the following year.

If employment ends, you must pay out all unused annual leave. Calculate the payout at the employee's current daily rate, regardless of when the leave was earned. This payment appears as a separate line item on the final payslip and is subject to normal tax and social security contributions.

Sick leave

Greek employees can take sick leave for up to 12 months within a two-year period. The payment structure shifts between employer and social security depending on the duration.

For the first three days of illness, you don't pay anything. These are unpaid waiting days. From day 4 to day 15, you pay 50% of the employee's regular wages. After day 15, EFKA takes over and pays sickness benefits directly to the employee.

Certification requirements

Employees need a medical certificate from day one of absence. For absences up to three days, a certificate from any registered doctor works. For longer absences, they need certification from a social security doctor (IKA doctor) or a hospital.

Submit the medical certificate to EFKA within three working days of receiving it. Late submission can delay or invalidate the employee's claim for social security sickness benefits.

Impact on payroll calculations

During days 4-15, calculate 50% of the employee's daily wage and include it in your regular payroll. This payment is subject to normal tax withholding but exempt from social security contributions.

After day 15, remove the employee from your payroll calculations entirely. EFKA handles all payments directly. Keep them on your records as on sick leave, but don't process any wage payments unless they return to work.

Parental leave

Maternity leave details

The 43-week maternity leave breaks down into specific periods. Eight weeks must be taken before the expected birth date. The remaining 35 weeks follow the birth.

EFKA pays 50% of daily earnings for the first 43 weeks. For the next 8 weeks (weeks 44-51), mothers can take unpaid leave with job protection. Some collective agreements provide better terms, so check applicable agreements for your industry.

Submit the maternity notification to EFKA at least 8 weeks before the expected birth date. Include the medical certificate confirming pregnancy and expected delivery date.

Paternity leave

Fathers get 14 working days of paid paternity leave. You must take 2 days within the first week after birth. The remaining 12 days can be taken anytime within the first year.

You pay the full salary during paternity leave. This appears on your regular payroll and is subject to all normal tax and social security contributions. There's no reimbursement from EFKA for paternity leave costs.

Parental leave

Both parents can take up to 4 months of unpaid parental leave per child until the child turns 8 years old. This leave can be taken in blocks of at least one month. It doesn't affect payroll calculations since it's unpaid, but you need to maintain employment records accurately.

Public holidays 2027

Greece has 12 official public holidays in 2027. Work performed on these days requires double pay plus a compensatory day off, or triple pay if no compensatory day is given.

Date	Holiday	Notes
January 1	New Year's Day	Fixed
January 6	Epiphany	Fixed
March 1	Clean Monday	Movable (Orthodox Easter)
March 25	Independence Day	Fixed
April 16	Good Friday	Movable (Orthodox Easter)
April 18	Easter Sunday	Movable (Orthodox Easter)
April 19	Easter Monday	Movable (Orthodox Easter)
May 1	Labour Day	Fixed
June 7	Whit Monday	Movable (50 days after Easter)
August 15	Assumption of Mary	Fixed
October 28	Ochi Day	Fixed
December 25	Christmas Day	Fixed
December 26	Glorifying Mother of God	Fixed

Regional and local holidays

Some regions observe additional local holidays, particularly patron saint days. Athens celebrates June 29 (Saints Peter and Paul), Thessaloniki celebrates October 26 (Saint Demetrios). Check with local authorities for your specific location.

These local holidays don't create a legal obligation for time off, but many collective agreements include them. If your collective agreement covers regional holidays, treat them the same as national public holidays for payroll purposes.

Holiday pay calculations

Calculate holiday pay at the employee's regular daily rate. For shift workers or those with variable schedules, use the average daily earnings from the previous month.

If a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees don't get a substitute day off unless specified in their employment contract or collective agreement. The holiday pay obligation only applies if the employee would normally work that day.

Mandatory benefits affecting payroll

Social security coverage

EFKA coverage is mandatory and funded through the payroll contributions covered in the employer contributions section. This provides healthcare, pensions, unemployment benefits, and sickness pay. You don't make separate deductions beyond the standard social security contributions.

Supplementary pension funds

Many industries require membership in supplementary pension funds (Tameio) on top of basic EFKA contributions. These vary by sector and collective agreement.

Common supplementary funds include ETEAM (retail employees), TEADY (bank employees), and TSMEDE (engineers). Contribution rates typically range from 3% to 6% of gross salary, split between employer and employee.

Check your industry's collective agreement to identify which supplementary fund applies. Register employees within 8 days of their start date.

Christmas, Easter, and summer bonuses

Greek law requires three mandatory bonuses each year, calculated as portions of monthly salary. These aren't optional perks—they're legal obligations that affect your annual payroll costs.

Christmas bonus: One month's salary, paid by December 31. For employees who worked less than a full year, prorate based on days worked.

Easter bonus: Half a month's salary, paid before Greek Orthodox Easter (

Greece requires you to keep payroll records for 10 years. Lose them and face penalties up to €10,000 per audit violation, plus potential criminal liability for the employer's legal representative.

The country's labor inspectorate (SEPE) conducts both scheduled and surprise audits, with particular focus on undeclared work and social security compliance. Here's what you need to file and when.

Monthly filing requirements

You'll submit the Analytical Periodic Declaration (APD) to EFKA (the unified social security fund) by the last working day of each month for the previous month's payroll. This filing reports all employees, their earnings, and calculates social security contributions due.

The APD must be filed through the EFKA online portal (www.efka.gov.gr). You'll need a valid TaxisNet account with appropriate authorization. The system generates payment vouchers that you'll use to pay contributions.

Payment of social security contributions is due by the same deadline as the APD filing. Late payment triggers automatic penalties of 0.73% per month (8.76% annually) plus interest calculated daily.

Monthly withholding tax on employee salaries must be paid to the tax authority by the last working day of the following month. You'll use the myAADE portal (www.aade.gr) for electronic payment. There's no separate monthly filing - just payment based on your payroll calculations.

Penalties for monthly violations

Late APD filing carries penalties starting at €500 per month of delay, regardless of company size. If you file more than 30 days late, the penalty increases to €1,000.

Underpayment or non-payment of social security contributions results in the 0.73% monthly surcharge plus potential criminal charges against company directors for amounts exceeding €50,000. EFKA can also place liens on company assets and bank accounts.

Missing the withholding tax payment deadline triggers penalties of 1.5% of the unpaid amount for the first month, then an additional 0.73% for each subsequent month. Tax authorities can issue immediate collection orders and freeze bank accounts for repeated violations.

Annual reporting

The Annual Reconciliation Declaration (ARD) must be submitted to EFKA by March 31, 2027 for the 2026 payroll year. This reconciles all monthly APD filings and adjusts for any annual caps on social security contributions.

You'll also file the Annual Employer Declaration through myAADE by March 31, 2027, reporting total compensation paid to each employee during 2026. This includes salaries, bonuses, benefits-in-kind, and any other taxable payments.

Employee tax certificates (Form E1) must be issued to all employees by March 1, 2027. These certificates detail total earnings, tax withheld, and social security contributions for the employee's personal tax return. You'll submit copies electronically to the tax authority through myAADE.

The deadline for employees to file their personal income tax returns is June 30, 2027. While this isn't your direct responsibility, employees will need the certificates you provide to complete their returns.

Year-end adjustments

If annual social security contributions exceed the maximum insurable earnings cap (€93,720 for 2027), you'll calculate refunds or adjustments through the ARD. EFKA typically processes these adjustments within 60-90 days of filing.

Any errors in monthly filings discovered during year-end reconciliation must be corrected through amended APD submissions. You can file amendments for up to three years, but late payment penalties still apply to any additional contributions owed.

Employee documentation

Every employment relationship in Greece requires a written employment contract signed by both parties. The contract must be in Greek (translations are acceptable for foreign employees, but the Greek version is legally binding) and registered with ERGANI, the labor ministry's electronic system, before or on the employee's first day of work.

Contracts must specify: job title and duties, workplace location, salary and payment frequency, working hours, probation period (if any), notice periods, and applicable collective bargaining agreement. Missing any mandatory element can invalidate the contract and expose you to fines of €3,000-€5,000 per employee.

Payslips must be issued to employees before or on the payment date each month. Greece mandates specific payslip elements: employer details (name, tax number, EFKA registration), employee details (name, tax number, social security number), pay period, gross salary breakdown, all deductions itemized, net pay, and employer social security contributions.

You must provide payslips in Greek. Electronic payslips are acceptable if employees can access, download, and print them. Failure to provide compliant payslips carries penalties of €1,000 per violation per employee.

ERGANI system requirements

Beyond contract registration, you'll report several events through ERGANI:

Hiring notifications must be submitted before the employee starts work. Late notifications trigger fines of €10,500 per employee for first violations, doubling to €21,000 for repeat offenses within three years.

Contract modifications (salary changes, position changes, hour adjustments) require ERGANI updates within five working days. You'll also report contract suspensions, terminations, and returns from leave.

Overtime and flexible working arrangements must be declared in ERGANI before employees work the hours. Pre-declaration is mandatory - retroactive reporting isn't accepted and results in fines plus potential undeclared work penalties.

Record retention requirements

Keep all payroll records for 10 years from the end of the calendar year they relate to. This includes: employment contracts and amendments, payslips, time and attendance records, leave records, social security filings, tax withholding calculations, and payment proof.

Records must be available for inspection within 24 hours of a labor inspectorate request. Inability to produce records during an audit results in penalties of €2,000-€10,000 depending on the severity and number of missing documents.

Digital storage is acceptable but records must be maintained in unalterable format. You'll need to demonstrate data backup procedures and ensure records remain accessible throughout the 10-year period.

Penalties and violations

Violation	Penalty	Notes
Late APD filing (social security)	€500-€1,000	€500 for delays under 30 days; €1,000 after 30 days
Late social security payment	0.73% per month	Compounds monthly; criminal charges possible over €50,000
Late withholding tax payment	1.5% first month, then 0.73% monthly	Plus daily interest calculation
Missing/invalid employment contract	€3,000-€

Using 2026 tax brackets? You're withholding incorrectly. Here's what changed.

Greece updated its tax structure and minimum wage for 2027, affecting how you calculate take-home pay. If you haven't adjusted your payroll system yet, you're likely under-withholding taxes.

Minimum wage increase - Effective January 1, 2027

The gross monthly minimum wage increased to €830, up from €810 in 2026. That's a 2.5% increase, which translates to €9,960 annually for full-time employees.

This applies to all employees working standard 40-hour weeks. Part-time employees receive proportional amounts based on hours worked.

Action required: Update your payroll system to reflect the new minimum. Review all salaries below €900 monthly to confirm compliance, especially for part-time staff whose hourly rates may need adjustment.

Tax bracket adjustments - Effective January 1, 2027

Greece modified its personal income tax brackets for 2027, slightly increasing the thresholds for the middle brackets:

Annual Income (€)	Tax Rate	Change from 2026
Up to €10,000	9%	No change
€10,001 - €20,000	22%	No change
€20,001 - €30,000	28%	Threshold increased from €28,000
€30,001 - €40,000	36%	New bracket
Over €40,000	44%	No change

The new €30,001 - €40,000 bracket provides modest relief for middle-income earners. Previously, income above €28,000 jumped directly to the 36% rate.

Impact on employers: Recalculate withholding for all employees earning between €20,000 and €45,000 annually. The changes are small but affect net pay calculations.

Social security contribution rates - No changes

Good news: employer and employee social security contribution rates remain unchanged for 2027. Employers still contribute 24.81% of gross salary, and employees contribute 15.33%.

The contribution ceiling stays at €7,126.07 monthly (€85,512.84 annually). You won't pay contributions on earnings above this threshold.

Digital payslip mandate - Effective March 1, 2027

All employers must now provide payslips through the government's myDATA digital platform. Paper payslips no longer satisfy legal requirements, even if employees request them.

This extends the myDATA system beyond invoicing to include mandatory payroll reporting. Each payslip must be uploaded within three business days of payment.

Action required: Register your company on the myDATA platform if you haven't already. Confirm your payroll software can generate compliant XML files for automatic upload. Manual uploads work for small teams but become impractical above 15 employees.

Penalties: €500 per unreported payslip for the first offense, doubling for subsequent violations. The Labour Inspectorate cross-references bank transfers with myDATA submissions during audits.

Upcoming changes - Summer 2027

Greece plans to introduce mandatory electronic time tracking for all employees by July 1, 2027. The legislation passed in December 2026 but implementation was delayed to give employers time to adopt systems.

You'll need to record daily start times, end times, and breaks through an approved digital system. Manual timesheets won't comply. The government will publish a list of approved vendors by April 2027.

Preparation needed: Budget for time tracking software if you don't have it. Expect costs between €3-€8 per employee monthly for basic systems. Enterprise solutions with advanced features run higher but may integrate better with existing payroll software.
