New integration allows for more up-to-date withholding tax downloads

 

MINNEAPOLIS, MN. (October 22, 2008) – eEmpACT Software, a Bond International Software Company, announced today a new partnership with Symmetry Software, an industry leader providing payroll tax-related services. The partnership enables eEmpACT customers to use Symmetry's formidable level of expertise in multi-state and local taxation, including the ever-changing area of state and local reciprocity.

 

“With the additional capability of  Symmetry’s Tax Engine software, eEmpACT customers will have the peace of mind that multi-state, reciprocity and local taxes are constantly updated in real-time across 9,300 different tax jurisdictions,” said eEmpACT President & CEO Tim Giehll. “This allows eEmpACT customers to maintain more accurate records for tax reporting and further strengthens the taxation tools already provided in the eEmpACT Software solution.”

 

Companies using Symmetry payroll withholding solutions include ADP, Administaff, AT&T, CCH, Ceridian, Campbell’s Soup Company, General Mills, Kronos, Paychex, Robert Half International, Southwest Airlines, University of Minnesota, and Wells Fargo.

 

“We focus purely on payroll withholding and taxes for the US,” stated Jon Bohnert, Executive Vice President of Symmetry Software. “We’re the experts in this area, and it’s our job to keep updated so our customers don’t have to keep track of the ever-changing tax laws and reciprocity rules. This includes proper employee withholding in some of our more complex tax-reporting states, such as Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.”

 

For over 20 years, Symmetry Software has provided the tax calculation engine for millions of paychecks calculated every payday. Combined with eEmpACT’s powerful front and back office staffing software, the Symmetry Tax Engine is the best solution for automatically maintaining current withholding tax tables.

 

 “We are honored to be the tax engine for eEmpACT. They had several vendor choices for this component and recognized that Symmetry is the undisputed leader in payroll withholding taxes." said Symmetry CEO Tom Reahard. "Since 1984 we have specialized in payroll taxes. Obviously eEmpACT wanted the best partner in this area and chose Symmetry Software over any others."
