Switching payroll providers mid-year to FarmRaise is not only possible but can be done with minimal disruption to your operations. However, the complexity of the transition can vary depending on the number of employees and the intricacies of your payroll setup. Typically, the transition process may take anywhere from a few days to up to two weeks.

A Smooth Transition is Our Priority

At FarmRaise, we are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Our dedicated team will work closely with you to ensure that your payroll is seamlessly transferred. During the onboarding process, we will guide you through every step, helping to upload necessary documentation from your previous payroll system.

What You’ll Need

To ensure the accuracy of payroll taxes and reporting at the end of the quarter and year, it is essential that we receive detailed documentation from your previous payroll provider. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Payroll history for each quarter of the current year

  • Employee tax forms (W-2s, 1099s, etc.)

  • Details of deductions, benefits, and wage adjustments for each quarter

  • State and federal tax filings for each quarter

Our team will assist you in gathering and uploading this information to ensure that all tax obligations are properly accounted for.

Timeframe for Migration

The timeline for migrating your payroll to FarmRaise will depend on the size of your team and the complexity of your payroll structure. Smaller teams with straightforward payroll setups can expect a quicker turnaround, while businesses with larger or more complex payroll systems may require additional time to ensure all details are accurately transferred.

By working together and ensuring that all necessary documents are in order, we’ll ensure that your payroll system is up and running smoothly with FarmRaise, minimizing any disruption to your operations.
