Keep your payroll company. Get burdened labor on the job.

What CFOS does with labor dollars

Your payroll company pays the crew, files the taxes and handles deductions, and CFOS doesn't do any of that. What CFOS does is put the labor cost on the right job by cost code, with labor burden by class added. That's the number you need to know whether a job made money, and payroll reports rarely give it to you by job.

Burden is the part most job cost reports leave out. Payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance and benefits are real costs of the hour, and a job that looks fine at wage rates can lose money at burdened rates. CFOS adds burden by class so a laborer and an operator each get their own.

Today's link and the ones that need approval

Here's the plain answer. Today the app sends approved time to QuickBooks Payroll, and that link is built. If you do payroll in QuickBooks, the hours go from approval to payroll and the labor cost is posted to the job in CFOS.

For a payroll company outside QuickBooks, we connect through its API or through a file import, agreed in writing. With an API, your admin approves the link and we never ask for a password. With a file import, your office uploads the payroll register each pay period and CFOS reads the labor dollars by employee and job.

Payroll is the slowest link, and why

Payroll is the most valuable link to make and often the slowest. Payroll companies guard their data, and many require the tool's maker to apply and be approved before any API access is granted. We can't speed up somebody else's approval process.

So the clock starts when they approve us, not the day you ask. If your payroll company needs that approval, we apply for you, tell you how far along the approval is, and use a file import in the meantime so you aren't waiting for job cost labor. When the API link is approved, we move you over.

How long it takes

Most software connects in 5 business days or less. We don't promise that number for payroll in every case. The conditions below apply, and the one about the maker's approval counts most here.

• The tool has a documented API and your plan includes API access.
• Your admin connects it. We never ask for a password.
• What moves where is agreed in writing before we start.
• If the tool's maker has to approve us first, the clock starts the day they approve.
• If there is no API, we set up a file import instead.
