Premium is a great fit for a business that has outgrown the Core payroll plan. It delivers comprehensive payroll, makes it easy to connect or add employee benefits, and adds HR support that can guide a business through the process of helping its employees. QuickBooks says that Premium is its most popular plan. Time tracking is also available for the first time, ensuring you can stay aware of your employees' hours logged, even if your teams has grown large enough that tracking them in-person has become unwieldy.

In addition, same-day direct deposit is now supported, letting you submit payroll as late as 7 am PT on the morning of payday.

An HR support center is available through another third-party, Mammoth, Inc., to help managers ensure compliance with state and federal law. You can connect your preexisting worker's compensation policy, or get a new one through Intuit's broker, AP Intego. You'll get all the features in Core, plus extra functionality geared towards a growing business. The QuickBooks Premium plan costs $75 per month, plus $8 per employee per month.
