Miami Payroll Center is an independent payroll, HR and employee benefits provider serving small and mid-sized employers throughout South Florida. We handle payroll processing and direct deposit, federal and Florida tax filing, time and attendance tracking, HR consulting, and group benefits administration. Every client works with a dedicated account team rather than a call center queue.

The main difference is the service model. National providers route support through tiered call centers, so the person answering usually has no history with your account. At Miami Payroll Center you work with a named account team that knows your pay schedule, your filings and your staff by name.

We are also more flexible on custom pay structures that national platforms tend to handle poorly — tipped wages for restaurants, commission splits, prevailing wage and certified payroll for government contracts. And we do not require a long-term contract.

Payroll pricing is normally a base fee for each pay run plus a per-employee charge, so the total depends on how many people you pay and how often you pay them. Adding time tracking, HR support or benefits administration changes the number as well.

Miami Payroll Center gives you a written quote showing the full cost before you commit, with no setup fee and no long-term contract. We do not use the per-item add-on charges or automatic annual increases that catch businesses out on the national platforms.

We serve employers throughout Miami-Dade and Broward County, including Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Doral, Hialeah, Miami Beach and Homestead. Our office is located at 13200 SW 128th Street in Miami. We also process payroll for clients with employees in all 50 states, so a business headquartered in South Florida can hire anywhere without changing providers.

Yes. We file federal Form 941 quarterly, Form 940 annually for federal unemployment, and Florida Form RT-6 quarterly for reemployment tax. We also prepare and file W-2 and 1099 forms each January and report new hires to the Florida New Hire Reporting Center.

Florida has no personal income tax, so there is no state income tax withholding — but Florida employers still carry federal withholding, Social Security, Medicare and reemployment tax obligations.

Miami Payroll Center has been serving South Florida employers since 2004. The company is locally owned and operated from Miami, and many of our clients have been with us for more than a decade with the same account team. We complete an independent SOC 2 Type II audit of our financial and operational controls annually.

We work with small and mid-sized employers across South Florida, including restaurants, construction and trade contractors, medical and dental practices, professional services firms, retail, and non-profits. Client size ranges from a handful of employees to several hundred.

Several of these industries have payroll requirements that general platforms handle poorly. We manage tipped wage reporting and tip credit calculations for restaurants, certified payroll and prevailing wage reporting for contractors on government projects, and multi-location scheduling for businesses running more than one site.

Yes, businesses switch payroll providers mid-year regularly. Your year-to-date wage and tax totals transfer to the new provider so W-2s stay accurate at year end. The cleanest time to move is the start of a quarter, because quarterly returns close neatly, but a mid-quarter switch is manageable.

Most transitions take one to two weeks. We handle the data migration and coordinate directly with your prior provider.
