Payroll Processing By ADP Automatic Data Processing Inc., or ADP, has been providing payroll, tax and related services to businesses and organizations of all sizes for 60 years. Paying one in six private-sector Americans and moving over $1 trillion in tax money to the IRS each year, ADP has become a staple in the business community as the industry leader. ADP has shown its expertise to the providers of psychological services. There are three core areas that ADP concentrates on in order to help small businesses. They are: ■ Compliance - The accurate calculation, filing and depositing of your payroll and payroll taxes are at the heart of what we do. ■ Convenience - ADP makes it as easy as possible for businesses to submit and process their payroll. ■ Reporting - ADP will provide you with all the data that you need. We provide you with easy-to-use payroll reports both paper and online with each payroll. Lastly, ADP keeps it affordable. While our costs are small business driven, we have made it even more appealing through our partnership with APA. All APA members receive a 15% discount on ADP’s services. This discount is good for as long as you are a client of ADP’s. You will also receive your first month of service absolutely free of charge. Find out how ADP can tailor an affordable payroll solution for your practice. CREDIT CARD PROCESSING Don’t Be Fooled By Low Qualified Rates Do you know the real rate you are paying for your credit card processing? Many processors will give you an extremely attractive qualified rate when they know that most of your transactions will not qualify at that rate. What is your real rate? You can determine what you are really paying by some simple analysis of your processing statement. Take the total amount of fees you are paying and divide that by the total dollar volume of the transactions you processed. The resulting number is what is called your effective rate – the average rate you pay per transaction. Although your real rate is determined by the number and volume of transactions you process, the following example will help illustrate how your qualified rate and your effective rate can differ. www.apa.org/membership/adp.aspx Ryan_Parks@adp.com 765.532.1694 ABC Store Total Fees: $250 Total Volume: $10,000 Effective Rate: $250/$10,000 = 0.025 or 2.5% Elavon has partnered with the APA Practice Organization to bring you a processing program designed to fit the needs of your practice. We will analyze your practice and provide a customized program that clearly discloses all rates and fees. If your effective rate is 2.15% or higher, you could benefit from our processing program.
