Generally, churches and other religious organizations are required to withhold and report different types of payroll taxes. This includes (but not limited to) Income, Social Security and Medicare taxes. Using a church payroll software can make the process of doing clergy payroll easy, stress free and prevents common mistakes and penalties.

Payroll Mate payroll software, from Real Business Solutions, offers all the features and functionality needed to do payroll for a ministry in a fraction of the time needed to do the same task by hand and in a fraction of the cost needed to use a payroll service.

Due to the flexibility that Payroll Mate offers, by letting you decide which payroll items apply to each one of the employees, it becomes an easy job for you to add clergy employees, ministers of a church or members of religious order; add them all as employees in Payroll Mate and specify the incomes, taxes and deductions that apply to each one them according to their tax calculation needs. And as you might offer certain unique allowances to some of the members on your payroll, this payroll software makes it easy enough for you to do so by allowing you to define your own income type, set its calculation method, and select the taxes and deductions that apply to it.
