PAYROLL SERVICES
Running a business is complicated and time consuming enough
without the headache of calculating payroll and payroll taxes.
We provide payroll services to many clients throughout
the greater Lincoln Maine area and would like to be your payroll
processor as well. Confidential and cost-effective, our
payroll service eliminates the chore of payroll and payroll tax
return preparation. We can help you avoid payroll tax errors and
late payment penalties and interest.
We are licensed with the State of Maine to provide payroll services.
Barker Business Services LLC does not impound employer funds to pay
payroll checks, payroll taxes, or our fee. Payroll checks are
written from the employer's bank account. Payroll taxes are paid
electronically from the employers bank account to the taxing
authorities. We bill the employer monthly by invoice for our
services.
The following services are provided as part of our live payroll processing provided by Barker Business Services.
You report your employee's hours to us by any of the
following methods: In
person or by phone,
fax, or email. We’ll
calculate your payroll amounts and provide the following in
advance of your next pay day.
Each Payroll Period
- Your choice of Employee’s Pay Statement (to attach to cash or your check), A Printed Paycheck or Direct
Deposit
- Employer's Payroll Journal (detail of each paycheck)
- Employer's Payroll check register (showing each net amount
check paid)
- Employer's Federal and State Tax Deposit Report and payment
scheduled to be paid electronically by EFTPS and Maine EZ Pay, if
required.
We will deliver your payroll to you either in-person on our weekly
delivery route (within the town of Lincoln only), fax or email it to
you if you are paying by direct deposit, cash or are writing your own
payroll checks, or send it by US mail if we are printing the
employee paychecks.

All W-2s and 1099s will be efiled with the SSA and the IRS so you'll have nothing to mail!
In addition to "live" payroll processing, we also do "after-the-fact"
payroll reporting. Live is where we do it all.
After-the-fact is where the employer prepares his/her own payroll
checks, withholdings, and tax payments, and quarterly provides to us
the monthly totals by employee and we prepare the payroll tax returns
as well as the year-end W2s.
If you need additional info or would like a cost estimate of
having your payroll done, give us a call, email or stop by our
office.
